  May 5, 2024 at 2:55pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Well, you certainly can\u2019t blame worldwide convenience chain 7-Eleven for a lack of creativity.<\/p>\n<p>As general <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidenomics-five-cities-rent-continues-explode-impact-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">economic malaise<\/a> is hampering spending habits, stores need to find new and unique ways to increase revenue.<\/p>\n<p>7-Eleven, surely not immune to the ravages of the economy, is working on an interesting strategy to boost that revenue: Dabbling in the mobile video game space.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.7-eleven.com\/lp\/tetris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promotional announcement<\/a>, 7-Eleven revealed that it is teaming with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/legendary-video-game-creator-scott-cawthorn-retires-after-being-canceled-for-donations-to-donald-trump-tulsi-gabbard\/\"

\u201cTetris\u201d to release a special \u201ccup\u201d that\u2019s really a handheld game console.<\/p>\n<p>According to the gaming news website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/tetris-is-partnering-with-7-eleven-to-release-a-handheld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video Games Chronicle<\/a>, Tetris and 7-Eleven will be partnering on a number of merchandise crossovers, including those handheld games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlurpee x Tetris Handheld Games\u201d will initially be available for customers willing to jump through some hoops, though the product is expected to hit the mass market soon.<\/p>\n<p>(7-Eleven\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/7collection.com\/products\/slurpee-tetris-handheld-device\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">store page<\/a> has the product up, though it\u2019s not available to purchase.)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tetris and 7 Eleven are launching a handheld <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tnY186w1EX\">pic.twitter.com\/tnY186w1EX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dexerto\/status\/1786000732551868865?\">May 2, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t keen on waiting for that online store status to change, there are a few steps you need to accomplish initially.<\/p>\n<p>According to the promotional announcement, first, you need 7-Eleven\u2019s special reward program app, \u201c7Rewards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the app, you have to buy specific drink products from the chain, then use the reward program app at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>That puts you on a short list of 20,000 people who will get their very own cup that plays a video game from 1985.<\/p>\n<p>According to news released cited by VGC, the plastic cup will feature \u201ca full-color 1.8-in.\u201d screen.<\/p>\n<p>This is hardly 7-Eleven\u2019s first foray into viral news in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the convenience chain turned heads for all the wrong reasons when it announced hot dog-flavored seltzer water.<\/p>\n<p>It was all an elaborate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fall-best-april-fools-2024-jokes-across-internet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April Fool\u2019s joke<\/a>, but it still went certifiably viral in the moment, if only for the disgusting idea of it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Are you a 7-Eleven customer?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, \u201cTetris\u201d has also enjoyed some renewed spotlight in recent years despite being nearly four decades old.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s largely due to a young kid in Oklahoma who \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/controversy-erupts-13-year-old-becomes-first-ever-beat-tetris-not-life-goal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beat<\/a>\u201d the game \u2014 a feat that was previously thought to be impossible.\u00a0That accomplishment actually sparked a wider conversation about the merits of video games and whether \u201cbeating\u201d Tetris was something to, in fact, be proud of.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, once these new Slurpee x Tetris cups go live, more people with $30 to burn will have the chance to try and \u201cbeat\u201d the game, even if it\u2019s on a tiny screen attached to a cup you can\u2019t drink out of.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day:
