Yesterday when I discovered that 7-Eleven is selling new Iron Man collector Slurpee cups for around $3.50 (which includes one fill of any machine beverage). I’m not usually one for cheesy movie promotional items, but this one is pretty cool. However, I must admit that walking down the street drinking out of Iron Man’s head felt rather odd. And I was surprised at how many young children yelled “MOM Look it’s Iron Man!” as I walked down the wharf sipping from my cup. I’ve heard that Iron Man was not tracking as highly as they believed it would, but situations like this lead me to think otherwise. I mean, the awareness is everywhere.

Nice!
You’ve inspired me to walk down to my local 7-11 and purchase the head.
Hah! It’s so cool.

Apparently this is a use of the word “cool” that I am unfamiliar with…

Went down and bought one. Very cool. Not as durable as I’d like, but it’s a wonderful collectors item.

Already bought mine last week, cool collector cup. Did you get the collectors straw too, I didnt really have a use for that so gave it to my nephew.

In addition, 7-11 will be releasing a one-time-only flavor for said slurpee container: Sweaty Robert Downey Jr. head.

Does anyone know where someone could get some of those like movie theater cut outs. I know they have one right now for Iron Man and I thought it would be cool to have in my house but I don’t want to steal it.
