New Kwik-E-Mart in Times Square

Not sure if this art or what exactly, but who cares. Everyone should go check out the 7-11 on 42nd St. that's been transformed Quik-E-Mart (it's between 8th and 9th).

Here's a flickr set of photos of a similarly transformed store in Burbank, C.A.:

It's pretty amazing. You can purchase any number of products hitherto-unavailable outside of the fictional world of the Simpsons. Grab yourself a Squishie, some Buzz Cola, or Krusty O's. The whole atmosphere is incredibly entertaining. The employees are even wearing official "Kwik-E-Mart" garb. I especially love the "fake" ads which say things like "They don't call them Don't Nuts", "Our Hot-Dogs are Filled Bunly Goodness", and best yet "Buy 3, for the Price of 3".

Best Promotional Movie Product Tie-in Ever.

I feel priviledged to be your first, ever, awesome comment.

It's like Damien Hirst's Pharmacy in London - crazed reality of the virtual world.
