7-Eleven Crocs: Convenience Store Colab

Multi-national convenience store giant 7-Eleven has teamed up with Crocs to produce a line of branded footwear sporting the store’s iconic (but not necessarily tasteful) orange, red, and green logo colors. Those…wow, those are really something. They definitely stand out.

The collab footwear will be available in three styles: the 7-Eleven x Crocs Mega Crush Clog ($110), the 7-Eleven x Crocs Classic Clog ($70), and the 7-Eleven x Crocs Classic Sandal ($50). Of course, because they’re all in such high demand, you have to enter a drawing in order to win the right to buy a pair. And here I thought they’d set the prices so high that only the people who really wanted them would buy a pair. Boy, was I wrong?

Hey, different strokes for different folks — that’s what I have to remind myself. Granted, I’m not sure whose stroke these are or why, but to each their own. I’m not here to judge; I’m just here for a Slurpee and a Slim Jim.

7-11 Caters To Hipsters (Maybe?) With The Mason Jar/Mustache Straw Combo

140512_slurpeejar

Mason jars and mustaches galore, it’s a hipster party that I adore! See, we’re poets?…

Or maybe not.

Anyway, that was our half-hearted attempt to segue into the news that 7-11 stores are announcing the launch of the above novelty mustache straws and Slurpee mason jars. We believe they’re catering to hipsters not only because of the obvious association, but because the company appears to admit as much in their press release with the words “on-trend Slurpee accessories”. We think, however, that they’re poking fun at the trend more than anything; it’s not like any self-respecting hipster would ever be caught dead in a 7-11. And that’s just fine by us.

There are four straws, unofficially named “The British, The Handlebar, The Hogan after wrestler Hulk Hogan, and The Swanson.” It’ll cost you $3 for the jar, $1 for the straw, and the first slurpee is included.
