Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

I doooooooooooo!

Call me a sellout. Call me a shill for Big Hollywood. I don’t care. I think this marketing ploy is neat on toast.

It would have been one thing had 7-11 just stuck some cheesy stickers on the front of the store and put a few life-size standups out. Their whole-hog approach is a big winner with me, though. It tells me that they aren’t just shilling a movie. They get the joke.

Read the whole DCist article..especially the last line. Excellent!

UPDATE: Question abound.

Can I get an all-syrup Squishee?
Should I be careful when buying day-old meat?
Though you couldn’t buy it in the Bladensburg store (convenience stores can’t serve alcohol in Maryland), can we really get a six-pack of Duff Beer?
