Successful Marketing

11 Seven Eleven convenience stores were renovated into Kwik-E-Marts to promote the new Simpsons Movie. With one in neighboring Burbank, I had to partake in this once in a life time opportunity to tangibly experience one of America's biggest pop culture staples.

Besides selling various Simpsons paraphernalia, you were able to purchase (and consume!) Buzz cola, Krusty-Os cereal, and the iconic donuts that Homer's always chomping on. Conspicuously missing was Buzz Beer :(
I don't know if it was intentional or coincidence, but it was quite fun (and possibly racist) to see the employees were actually east Indian!

Buzz beer is from the Drew Carey show... Duff?
