Superbowl Sunday is upon us. And while the masses will be lauding the prowess of our grid iron idols, I want to flick my lighter to the unsung hero of the hour – the Convenience Store Owner.

And the clerk will have you in and out of there in under 10 minutes (unless everyone else in your neighborhood forgot the beer).
