Is it a Slurpee or is it a Squishee?

According to our sister site Gadling, a dozen 7-Eleven stores across North America have now been transformed into the fictional convenience store Quik-E-Mart (yes, I spelled it wrong) Kwik-E-Mart. The change will last for the month of July to help promote the upcoming Simpsons movie which is due for release on July 27.

Apparently, the 6,000 or so other 7-Eleven stores that weren't converted have also jumped on the promotional bandwagon by selling Simpsons-related snack items such as Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal, and - you guessed it - the infamous Squishee. In fact, one flavor of 7-Eleven's own Slurpee will be sold as "WooHoo! Blue Vanilla" Squishee for the month.

Sadly though, they will not be offering Duff Beer.

You can see a full listing of the renovated locations via the link below.

Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.

Has got to be one of my favorite Simpsons quotes involving the Quik-E Mart....
