Happy Convenience Store Day!

[magid]

Today 7-Eleven is celebrating its 'birthday':

"On Friday, each participating 7-Eleven store will offer 1,000 customers a free 7.11-oz. Slurpee drink of their choice. The new featured Slurpee flavor this month is Mountain Dew Live Wire. Participating stores also will be sampling Big Eats Bakery® Dreammm™ Donuts, new beef enchilada-flavored 7-Eleven Go-Go Taquitos®, Chipper Snacks, Briar’s Premium Root Beer and DefCon3 Energy Drinks."

What makes Mountain Dew into Mountain Dew Live Wire? Is this something one would voluntarily consume? (I'd always thought the combination of electricity and liquids rather hazardous...). In the same vein (er, yeah), DefCon3 sounds more like a military zone than a refreshing beverage.

I feel I must not be in their target demographic....

But how could you possible pass up something called a "Go-Go Taquito"?

Somehow, all that came to mind was Bitty wearing tall white boots...

On second thought, one wonders if the taquito is moving around internally, exiting quickly, or dancing in the aisles.

This is so strange. Here, I had always thought that you expected to survive until your mortgage was paid of. I guess I was mistaken.
