Social gaming powerhouse Zynga has joined forces with 7-Eleven to begin selling items branded with its popular gaming titles in 7-Eleven stores throughout the US and Canada. The six week promotion will include more than 30 products, including Slurpees and Big Gulp drinks, all with redemption codes that will allow users to purchase virtual goods, including limited edition and uber gifts, in FarmVille, Mafia Wars or YoVille. The virtual goods range from a virtual coffee cart in FarmVille redeemed from the purchase of an iced coffee, to a bullet proof vest redeemed from the purchase of pizza, chicken wings, Big Bite products, chicken tenders or breakfast quesadillas. 7-Eleven expects to promote the new campaign, which begins June 1, through several different media outlets, including radio, print, online and on MTV.
