Finally, A Reason To Go To Mountain View

We’ve got good news and bad news, and they’re both the same: it’s time to go to Mountain View.

We kid, we kid.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the promotion currently being put on by “The Simpsons” and 7-Eleven, but you’ll be happy to know that there actually is one–count ‘em: one!--location in the Bay Area included in the stunt (there are 12 total). Right off 101, in the shadow of the Moffett Air Field, there lies a Kwik-E-Mart. In addition to tons of cartoon paraphernalia, there will also be a host of “specialty items”:

In some cases, 7-Eleven has contracted with manufacturers of similar products to make their Kwik-E-Mart counterparts. Malt-O-Meal, the Northfield, Minn., cereal maker, will conjure up a recipe for KrustyO’s, for example. In others, existing products will simply be renamed. One flavor of 7-Eleven’s own Slurpee will be sold as “WooHoo! Blue Vanilla” Squishee for the month.

We’ve got good news and bad news, and they’re both the same: it’s time to go to Mountain View.

We kid, we kid.
