Best thing you can do to with your friends is share, right?

Take the simple 7-11 sign. Most folks see it all the time...

I'm so sorry, but if I must suffer noticing that, I'm taking everyone else with me. :D

I never noticed how many 7-11s I passed during a typical day until I learned that about the sign...
