Eyedropper
7-Eleven. Oh thank Heaven.
By Rani Molla
Let's start off the new year right by making fun of a place besides Santa Fe. For this week's Eyedropper, we've chosen, from our trip home, a very specific place in the epistemological world: New York 7-Elevens.
In order to maintain their good health, 7-Eleven patrons follow the tried-and-true wisdom of mid-century doctors everywhere. Yes, that's right: The slogan "an apple a day" is written on this iced apple danish. Viva las diabetes!
And in case your eyes are failing despite all the carrot cake you consumed, 7-Eleven has got you covered by prohibiting reading�or not. We're not really sure why "No Reading" is in quotes. What is it that 7-Eleven patrons are pretending to be reading in order to do?

Judging from the bits of the magazines visible in the picture above I would guess that these are the ones that do not require reading; a typical customer could enjoy these magazines without being able to read.
I'm sure somewhere there's another rack called "Reading" Magazines, stocked with e.g. Granta, or something.
An iced apple danish and a big slice of moist carrot cake every day keeps me in good health and with good eyesight.
And thin too.
