Simpsons 7-Eleven Disappoints
I attempted to visit the Simpsons themed 7-Eleven in Los Angeles a few times yesterday, but there was always a line out the door. I went back early this morning only to find a sign apologizing that they were sold out of the following items:
- Chutnee Squishees
- Buzz Cola
- Frosty Krusty-O’s
- Tofu Dogs
- Some other things
Like I was going to stick around to buy a non-Simpsons themed item? As far as I could tell, the only thing they hadn’t sold out of were the pink donuts… but I’ve had pink donuts before! I wanted Buzz Cola and Krusty-O’s and I’m exceedingly disappointed that I couldn’t buy them. Here’s what they should have had.
Let’s hope they didn’t blow their entire marketing budget for the novelty items on July 4th… I want to find that jagged metal O.
UPDATE: Here’s a picture of the actual sign:
And the actual text:
Dear Customer,
I am very sorry but we are out of (our minds) and: Buzz Cola, Krusty O’s, Radioactive Man, Tofu Dogs, Chutney Squishee.
Please try again
APU
They claim that they’re going to be able to restock the sold out items, but it’s been a few days now and things aren’t looking any better.

Apparently you can get Simpsons-themed products at any 7-11, not just the ones that have been Kwik-E-ized. Though I’m still not sure I want to consume any of them.

I tried the closer one on Venice, they didn’t have anything Simpsons themed aside from some Squishee cups and a few pink donuts. If you see any Buzz Cola or Krusty-O’s, please buy them for me.
