7-11 Has Your Dose of Domo!

You might remember me posting about this back in May, but I thought a timely reminder was due.  This is Domo month over at 7-11 and I thought this deserved a second mention because quite honestly 7-11 is doing something very interesting with this promotion, and I am not simply talking about their Domo inspired Fanta Apple Fuji Frost flavored Slurpee either. Although I do have to say it has to be one of the strangest flavors I have ever tasted – it’s a sweet apple blast with a coconut after taste. If your fans of either I highly suggest it, if that’s not your bag you can always get coke flavor in your limited edition Domo-Cup, well unless the light is blinking.

This month thanks to a Domo dvd and manga release from Tokyopop they are not only giving the usual plastic cup and novelty straw treatment to our favorite NHK mascot, but they are really trying to make 7-11 the “Domo-Destination” in October if you will with Big Bite hot dog containers shaped like Domo’s jaws, a special 99-cent brown Domo coffee cup “to reach younger coffee drinkers,” and an exclusive Domo Attack!  Energy drink. But the big news here is 7-11 is also producing 3 exclusive stop-motion webisodes that tell the story of Domo and his first Slurpee, the creators of the original NHK Domo shorts are producing and animating these as well. Check them out here. I did cringe a bit at the voice acting but that’s just me. Don’t get me wrong I know when I am being direct-martketed to, but it’s Domo after all.
