7-Eleven Is Eager To Capitalize On Obama’s Slurpee Comments

Are you ready for the Slurpee to become the new symbol of American unity? Well, the folks at 7-Eleven sure are. USA Today is reporting that the company is chomping at the bit to capitalize on off-handed comments President Obama made about holding a “Slurpee summit” with newly elected Republicans. Can you blame them? Sure, Obama may have lost some of his political power this week, but he’s still a marketing bonanza. If you don’t believe me, just know that two of these were sent to the Mediaite and Geekosystem offices a few weeks back.
