    7-Eleven has recently turned a dozen of its stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of &quot;The Simpsons&quot; fame.<br />
    <br />
    Those stores and most of the 6,000-plus other 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on our favorite show: Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s cereal, pink doughnuts and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees.<br />
    <br />
    It is all part of a campaign to hype The Simpsons Movie, which loves to lampoon 7-Eleven as a store that sells all kinds of unhealthy snacks and is run by a man with a thick Indian accent.<br />
    <br />
    The most dissappointing news in all of the excitement is that NO DUFF BEER will be available. &quot;That was a tough call, but we want to make sure it’s considered good, responsible fun&quot; said a marketing executive.<br />

    The U.S. locations where a 7-Eleven store was transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart are New York City; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank, California; Los Angeles; Henderson, Nevada; Orlando, Florida; Mountain View, California; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Maryland.<br />
