I will not eat green eggs and ham. I will not eat them . . . Oh, who am I kidding, you guys know that I will eat just about anything, so of course I would eat green eggs and ham. Now I could either make them myself, or I could head to IHOP.

To tie into the release of the new Horton Hears A Who movie, IHOP is offering a Dr. Seuss-inspired menu. From now until April 20, you can chomp down on Who-Cakes (the sort of sickeningly sweet-looking pancake stack), Beezlenut Splash (a lemon-lime soda with colored Jello bits) and Green Eggs and Ham. I think it's a fun idea — well at least I'm sure I would if I was seven. However, when I think green eggs and ham, I usually think of the sunny-side up eggs whose yolks are green. Their interpretation seems to be herb-infused scrambled eggs, which is a little bit disappointing, but still fun.

So tell me, would you head to IHOP to try these dishes? If you do, be sure to snap a pic, I'm curious to see how they look in real life!

Did you notice anything different at your local 7-Eleven this weekend? Like perhaps a small Kwik-E-Mart makeover? If so, then your 7-Eleven was one of twelve stores to receive a promotional Simpsons Movie facelift. The facelift included removing the 7-Eleven logo and replacing it with a Kwik-E-Mart one instead. They (and most of the 6,000 North American 7-Elevens) will also offer items previously only seen in the land of Homer and pals, including: Squishees, KrustyOs and Buzz Cola. The craziest part is that unlike most promotional campaigns, this time it's the retailer (7-Eleven), and not the movie studio (Fox) who is picking up the tab - reportedly "somewhere in the single millions." To see if you live near one of the converted stores, check out the Kwik-E-Mart locator.

I personally don't have one that close to me, but I did stop by a 7-Eleven to partake in a Squishee. I opted for a mix of sour watermelon and cherry. What flavor would you have chosen?

Looks too good to eat doesn't it? Oh, that's because you can't. You could try, but the 20 ounces of 18k white and yellow gold and 548 round diamonds, 87 square emerald diamonds and a fancy 5.63 carat "Fancy Intense Yellow" radiant diamond might get in the way. Not to mention you'd probably hate yourself for eating $1 million dollars worth of jewels, even if they do look like a rather tasty cone.

The cone, which was made by Lazare Kaplan International Inc. in conjunction with Bruster's Real Ice Cream, was unveiled at the JCK Las Vegas Show. It was designed to mimic the look of Bruster's signature cherry vanilla ice cream and is supposed to speak of the "outstanding quality" of Bruster's ice cream. The million dollar cone is actually for sale and Bruster's will donate its proceeds from the sale to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

Oh and my favorite part of this story? Why that would be the fact that it's being touted as "the world's first $1 million ice cream cone." You know, so when the copycat million dollar cones come out they'll be able to say they did it first...
