I have to find the one in New York City...

This was rumored months ago (in fact, I emailed BTC about this back on April 3rd), and now it has come to fruition.

I REALLY have to go to the one in New York City. Who's up for a subway ride with the Nation?

For the full article, go to cnn.com:

DALLAS, Texas (AP)
-- Over the weekend, 7-Eleven Inc. turned a dozen stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of "The Simpsons" fame, in the latest example of marketers making life imitate art.

Those stores and most of the 6,000-plus other 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on television: Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees.

It's all part of a campaign to hype the July 27 opening of "The Simpsons Movie," the big-screen debut for the long-running television cartoon, which loves to lampoon 7-Eleven as a store that sells all kinds of unhealthy snacks and is run by a man with a thick Indian accent.

I went to the one in Seattle and picked up a box of Krusty O's for you.
