Tetris, a game thatâs already pre-installed on nineteen devices you own, including your doorbell, can be played on the $30 non-functional cup that quite incredibly has a screen significantly smaller than that of the original Game Boy.

Now, if youâre a customer of 7-Eleven, you might be wondering how the company sees you as a demographic. And if you were suspecting it was, âDrunk and confused, having missed the last bus,â youâd be wrong. âWe know our customers are passionate gaming enthusiasts who also appreciate a healthy dose of nostalgia,â said the companyâs executive vice president and chief marketing & sustainability officer, Marissa Jarratt. Itâs an absolutely astonishing coincidence that these remarkably specific characteristics of the convenience chainâs customer base so perfectly matches those who might want to enjoy playing a classic video game on some non-biodegradable tat.
Tetris will be 40 next year, and as such is a prime example of the, um, spirit of innovation? I mean, thatâs what the CEO of Tetris (a wonderful job title), Maya Rogers, said in a press release. âAs we mark the milestone 40th anniversary of Tetris, we are excited to announce our partnership with 7-Eleven, another iconic brand beloved across generations,â she said, like a person. âThis collaboration celebrates our spirit of innovation and delivers fans with a new, fun way to experience Tetris.â
Oh, OK! Being four decades old and on a cup you canât drink out of sure speaks to me of imaginative advancements! Perhaps its existence will inspire a whole generation to also put old games on inherently useless objects? We can only hope.
