Normally, we wouldn’t applaud such cross-promotional tactics. But this is one we could get behind. Yes, even though yesterday we admitted that we stopped watching The Simpsons, we’re still not above a little clever stunt to promote the new Simpsons Movie. Looks like about 11 7-Elevens across the country will be converting into Kwik-E-Marts in time for release, transforming the facades to look exactly as the Kwik-E-Marts do on camera. In addition:

Customers also will be able to buy products inspired by the nearly two-decades-old show, including KrustyO’s cereal, Buzz Cola and iced Squishees (the cup says Squishee, but the contents will be Slurpee).

What, no Duff beer? Laa-aame. No word if the Indian cashiers will be fitted with a green cardi, yellow slacks, and a shotgun, but here’s to hoping!
