7-Elevens Become Kwik-E-Marts

"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."

Yes there's even a blog for this with pictures and the addresses of all the Kwik-E-Marts. The Simpson's Movie opens in 3 weeks and the trailers look promising.
