It’s okay to admit that 2017 was a tough year for many reasons. At one point or another, most of us wanted nothing more than to crawl under a blanket with a pint of ice cream and tune out the world. And while we hope that 2018 will be a little less eventful, if it’s not, the 7-Eleven new delivery service can help get us through.

7-Eleven has teamed up with food delivery service Nomme to bring a unique range of convenient food, drinks, and everyday items straight to your door. Yes, it’s true – you can now order Slurpees, junk food, hot foods and other everyday essentials in a couple of clicks. Pints of ice cream, pizza, and other random items like Advil, Halls cough drops, and 5-hour Energy Shots are available too.

Fundamental to Western philosophy is the dinner party. The ancient Athenian supper that Plato describes in his Symposium has all the familiar tracings of our modern gatherings: food, drinks, and friends – not to mention attempts at moderation and long, heated discussions on love.

In the end, a dinner party is a simple and enduring combination of ingredients made unique by hosts and guests alike.
