So when word came in that 7-Eleven had enlisted Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer to adorn the visage of its summertime staple--the Slurpee--I had to have a look at the new cups.
But I'm a busy man. So much spying to do, so little time. Luckily, we have interns. And oh my interns are a hardy lot. To get them in shape for next weekend's Wizard World Philadelphia escapades, I sent Jason and Nick off onto the mean streets of NYC to wrangle a few cups so we could properly introduce them to the world on Marvel.com.
Little did we know they'd scour the city and come back with but one cup. Like Apocalypse demanding the strong rise above the weak, my two interns battled it out to stand as the one who'd bring me the fabled cup.
Jason (hailing from Erie, PA) turned the 7-Eleven upside down to bring back the only FF: RotSS cup in store back for me. Poor Nick (he comes from Saugerties, which is odd town to spell out) couldn't handle Jason's fury and had only this to say. "It was so scary. He's like a moose."
Yes, he is. And now the blood-stained cup forever has a place at Marvel.
