As most of you know, LAist is all over the Kwik-E-Mart phenomenon happening around Los Angeles. Who would we be not to give you the latest update?

Today the two Kwik-E-Marts at Olive and Verdugo in Burbank, and also at Sepulveda and Venice in West LA, are providing squishees F-R-E-E.

Yes, it's a shameless marketing move. But do we care? Hell no.

This LAister has been twice to go all goo-goo and gaa-gaa over the 7-11 transformation. The only real question you should ask yourself is when to go to beat the lines and of course what flavors to mix and match.

In case you had forgotten, your choices are: Coke, cherry, blue raspberry, and Vanilla Shill Chill.

Get 'em while they're cold!
