7-Eleven and Zynga Pair to Load Slurpees With Game Codes
By Jon Ruggiero on Tuesday, May 25th 2010
Zynga, in an attempt to invade your life even more, is trying to addict you to a product other than Farmville; 7-Eleven food. A quick search of the convenience-mart giant’s website reveals a recent press release about the ‘œBuy. Earn. Play.‘ promotion.
From June 1st through July 15th, certain 7-Eleven products will contain codes to get new items in Zynga titles Farmville, Mafia Wars, and YoVille. Working in a convenience store myself, I’m not sure how this is worth it at all.
The press release reveals the items included in the promotion. While you can get in-game items from buying Zynga game cards and cut fruit(?), Slurpees, Big Gulps, and other gastronomically destructive items make up the majority of the list.
It’s a wonderful thing to hear that people who enjoy taquitos and Farmville cows now have a one-stop shop for both. If there hasn’t already been a conspiracy started about Zynga trying to make our teenagers fat so they stay at home and play Mafia Wars more, I’d like to start it.
