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

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.

Death Star Slurpee: Use the Spoonstraw, Luke!

With a whole slew of new Star Wars movies on the way, it’s only a matter of time before a whole new round of Star Wars merch will start showing up in shops and fast food chains. Here’s one idea I think that 7-Eleven needs to take and run with right away.

That’s no drink lid. It’s a space station! Dave Delisle of Dave’s Geeky Ideas came up with the all-too-perfect idea to make a Death Star Slurpee (or slushee) lid. The cup even comes with a special crazy straw shaped like the Death Star’s deadly weapon, as it blasts Alderaan (and your thirst) to smithereens. Now all we need is to drill a mouth-hole in Vader’s helmet, and he’ll be all set to enjoy some delicious cherry slush.

Dave needs to hook up with the licensing powers-that-be at LucasFilm and 7-Eleven to bring this to market. I can’t imagine a better way to gulp down a Slurpee.

I wonder if Darth Vader gets brain freeze if he drinks them too quickly, or if all of his life-support systems make that unpleasant sensation a thing of the past.
