    • Shorties, on 10/11/2007, -1/+120"Thank You, Come Again!"
      How could you mess that up!
      • bimtott, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3He didn't exactly screw it up...I believe Apu did say "Please come again" after Bart and Milhouse bought their all-syrup Squishee. But the full line is "If you survive, please come again."

        Shame on me for knowing that.
    • thatsmyaibo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Maybe the '03' in his handle is the year he was born?
    • swiftekho, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3I cried when you screwed that up...
      But this IS the greatest marketing scheme ever.
  • TheWiseNoob, on 10/11/2007, -3/+61What, no 12 year-old ham?
    • DoodleMaster, on 10/11/2007, -13/+3What about the secret staircase in the non-alcoholic beer freezer

      Here is the funny part of the episode
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDf6u1QCVKE
      "you don't win friends with salad!"

      And here is the part I was reffering too...
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pll9RaP7A8
      "Paul and Linda talk about being a vegetarian to Lisa. They only agreed to appear on the show if Lisa became a vegetarian permanently."

      sorry i couldn't find the part where they dialogue at the freezer takes place but this is what the stair case led too...
      From memory..."Apoo: Here let me show you something *freezer opens* Lisa: huh wow a secret staircase...But what if people want non-alcoholic beer? Apoo: You know its never come up"

      Memorable quote "I'll give you a piggy back ride...I mean a veggie back ride home."


      This is just funny

    Didn't take that long....
  • Colt4cm, on 10/11/2007, -55/+3DONT DIGG THIS IS A DUPLICATE STORY
  • dulymachine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29the clerk who runs the store can charge a little more for meat and milk from 1984
    • toxicvarn90, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Really? I shop there and I feel he should have older milk.

      Seriously, this 7 11 is close by.
  • opitica, on 10/11/2007, -28/+52***** YOU SNORG TEES GIRL. I WANNA TAKE A HAMMER TO YOUR NOGGIN!
    • opitica, on 10/11/2007, -9/+1whoa, just as i posted that a new snorg tee girl popped up. she's a ***** ton hotter than her goofy smiling counterpart.
      • josegutz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I like the one with the spilled Koolaide shirt with that half assed frown... THAT is SOOO HOT!!!
    • ydt89, on 10/11/2007, -3/+50WIll someone PLEASE tell me what this whole snorg tee girl thing is about!?!?
    • Myonosken, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2^ Second.
    • zybch, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2^ Third
    • hater2win, on 10/11/2007, -2/+24Snorg tees is a website that sells t-shirts. They advertise on digg and some people (myself included) use adblock so we never see the ad. However others do not have adblock so they see them all the time. One of the snorg tees girls is pretty hot, the other.... not so much.
      • Worldchrisis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Digg has ads?

        Oh and the redhead for BustedTees, drool
    • josegutz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6YAAAH I likey the Snorg Girl...not the ugly one but the bad one. YEAAAAAAAH...wooo wwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    • astrotrain, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3"She's a Slut!" (Rocky Horror)
    • mkameli, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6@hater2win

      Which one is "not so hot?" I think the I heart Lamp shirt girl is really pretty too. This is a totally irrelevant tangent, but I just thought you needed to know...
    • springo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3*disables adblock* Aha! It makes sense now!
  • SurrealDream, on 10/11/2007, -3/+44"Silly Customer! You cannot harm a twinkie!"
    For the longest time, I thought that was in defence of Homosexuality.

  • pooper, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Damnit! No 7-elevens in Minnesota... I wanna go take some pictures too...
    • Calypsoaf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Don't worry about it, this is the coolest thing a 7-11 has done since 1986.

      Trust me.
    • bg2500, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I know we used to have them. Wonder why they are gone?
  • Matt44au, on 10/11/2007, -0/+57I reckon the shop would attract heaps more business if they left it like this.
    • Jumboto, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yea, I was just thinking a chain of these would be awesome.
  • jiggidy, on 10/11/2007, -12/+5i think it'd be way doper if they had Simpsons mascots showing up periodically. It would make it more realistic and I'm sure there wouldn't be any monetary troubles.
  • mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -9/+2My dream came through, a chain of brothels.
  • Flashman, on 10/11/2007, -10/+118Hey, they even have Apu. Wait, wait, that's just the regular staff.

    My mistake.
    • brainboy77, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1i would call you a racist pig but then again i'd just be lying to myself.
    • kingsleyj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I KNOW! Every time I pass a 7-11 I can barely fight my primitive urges to go sling slurpees.
    • dajernts, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0wow...your a dick.
  • DiggaDave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+75All I want is some Duff beer
    • thomascj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7that was the first thing I thought.
      • jokerpkt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10duff beer for me, duff beer for you, i'll have a duff, you'll have one too.
    • seanc6610, on 10/11/2007, -0/+37-11 refused to go as far as making Duff. The reasoning is that the movie is obviously geared towards children, and has a PG-13 rating so they didn't feel that it was good idea to sell beer that kids see in The Simpsons. I don't really understand it too well, but that was basically the statement released.
  • aydoubleyou, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1Yeah... what happened in 1986?
  • ijacker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20wheres my Duff beer?
  • dpknc84, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Alright, I've seen some crazily priced stuff on ebay before, but really??
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110145144064
    • cincylogistics, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1I wish there was a way to DIGG Down stupid ***** all over the Internet...that jackass is trying to make 25million profit on a so called charitable cause...what BS. That E-Bay Item...THUMBS Down.
  • kensai111, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Damnit, No Duff Beer...
    • VeganG, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Generic cola can be obtained from any one of a million sources and repackaged. It's a bit harder to find a beer brewer who's willing to repackage their beer as Duff for a short time.
      • seanc6610, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I think you could find a distributor, it's only that 7-11 / Fox didn't want to.
        Think about companies like Sam Adams who have 30+ different brews, they could just temporarily rename one of them with no problem
      • seanc6610, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2WTF? double post but I only clicked reply once. my bad.
  • bahamut182, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10As rad as all this is, I'm still bummed that they left out Duff.
  • phillyjo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Shame there are no photos of what the cereal looks like.
    Also wonder what the buzz cola tastes like, but doubt Australia will find out :(
    • Vanderdecken, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Don't worry, they didn't forget to put in the razor-sharp metal shurikens.
    • INHUMANITY, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The soda tastes like generic cola.

      It's pretty crappy actually. Tastes a lot like the stuff you find at Wal-Mart, Safeway, Albertson's, etc.

      For you Aussia's, I don't know how your stores do generic drinks, but if you do, that's what it tastes like.
  • docwho76, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1The 7-11 in Los Angeles at the corner of Sepulveda and Venice got turned into a Kwik-E-Mart as well. The place was packed when I got there at 9PM on a Sunday. You can see my photos at:

    http://www.nonmundane.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=30112
  • MrBabyMan, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5Alright! This Kwik-E-Mart's just down the street in Burbank, CA! I'm goin' there tomorrow!
  • ilkeryoldas, on 10/11/2007, -13/+3"DONT DIGG THIS IS A DUPLICATE STORY"

    yeah I was sure I have seen these before
    • denacem, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3so why don't you use the reply function if youre so sure?
  • Shorties, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Anyone know if they are selling the Buzz Cola and Krusty O's in normal 7-11's too?
  • rorymenteer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2i wonder where the one in seattle is...
  • zenlunatic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+162So who has the balls to dress up like snake and rob the place?
    • Arcesius, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13"Kent Brockman: ... and the fluffy kitten played with that ball of string all through the night. On a lighter note, a Kwik-E-Mart clerk was brutally murdered last night. "
  • Zer0kill, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5And I have to be stationed in Japan right now. I might need to take a pilgrimage back to the states.
    • robphillips, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1I know! I just HAD to move to Dubai >_< .. darnit!
  • CaviMike, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6I can't believe there's Buzz Cola but they couldn't even get Bud to make some Duff cans. What a rip-off.
  • oilcan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1CHUTNEY FLAVORED SQUISHY HERE I COME
    • josegutz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I rather have the TIKKA MASALA Squishy or the TIMARIND CURRY VANILLA Squishhy
    • MrBabyMan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You can really taste the chutney!
  • oneblackcitizen, on 10/11/2007, -3/+40Who needs a quickie mart?

    Who needs a quickie maaaart?

    http://www.7-eleven.com/kem.asp

    I live in indiana, the closest one to me is Chicago...about a 4-5 hour drive, and I'm still tempted to go!
    • Emmo213, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17From the website, they're in:
      Burbank, CA
      Chicago, IL
      Dallas, TX
      Denver, CO
      Lake Buena Vista, FL/Orlando, FL
      Las Vegas, NV/Henderson, NV

      San Francisco, CA/Mountain View, CA
      Seattle, WA
      Vancouver, BC/Coquitlam, BC
      Washington, DC/Bladensburg, MD

      Why, why, why would they not put them in all the different Springfields?
    • hater2win, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3The closest one to me is in Dallas, TX. I live in San Antonio, which is about a 6 hour drive. I am going this weekend just to pick up 2 packs of buzz cola and 2 packs of krusty-o's. One of each to eat/drink and the others to hold as collectible.
    • numarc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I live in Springfield Illinois. Why wouldn't they do something like that here that would be so fitting. Especially since everyone in town has had a long held belief that we are the Springfield that The Simpson's Springfield was based off of.
  • Vanderdecken, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1"You wasted five minutes of my life and I want them baaaack."

    Lock all your elderly neighbours in the chiller cabinets!
  • Jumboto, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1So what's the deal here?
    Only Cali or all of them everywhere?
    • mccarron, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Look at Lazyboy's comment above for a link to a store finder.
  • gordonf238, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Haha, this is awesome. Here's a list of all the Kwik-E-Marts: http://www.7-eleven.com/kem.asp
    There's one right here in NYC, in Times Square. I'm tempted to go, but I feel it just wouldn't be the same.

    I wish one of the beer companies had re-packaged their beer into a Duff can, even if it was Budweiser. I wouldn't drink it, but I'd display the can for sure.
  • losermike, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0I go to that 7-11 across the street from Warehouse Music at least 3-4 times a week and I can vouch that Apu himself does indeed work there.
  • Anamith, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Their bagels are really just week-old donuts.

    • Kitsune818, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Silly Bostonian, you haven't figured out that CA keeps all the cool stuff to itself? (I'm in Cambridge at the moment, mind you..)

      I did get a Cherry Squishy at a 7-11 near Fanueil the other day though.
      • limeyfather, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0If it was in Boston, the bomb squad would have to search the area for an hour before they would let anyone in. And then they would sue them.
  • DivisibleByZero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20The Krusty-Os box should totally advertise the free Jagged Metal Krusty-O
  • Light11, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1wow this wasent just on digg!
  • Boagrius, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3HA! The Chicago location is in the wost possible spot in the whole city.....APU will absolutely be getting shot there!
    • anillop, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I just noticed it was on 63rd st haha, Apu is definitely going to get shot down there. I wanted a Buzz cola but not that bad.
  • Listor, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0Thats it??? What about the tons of other fans in like other major cities. No love for Boston, no love for Houston??? Sigh............. guess I will have to drive 3 hours to Dallas.

    • SilentRamble42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Boston would think it was something to do with a terrorist attack.
  • theinfamousgiz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4IT would be even better if they kept an old man in ice cream freezer.
