Are San Francisco 7-Eleven Stores Selling Onigiri With Mayor London Breed’s Face On Them? | Eater SF

"When I visited the 7-Eleven at 221 Sansome after seeing a viral thread claiming the store was selling Japanese onigiri for $2.89 with Mayor London Breed’s face on the packaging, there were no onigiri in stock and staff said they had never stocked them or known of any collaboration. The photos used in the thread are real — conceptual artist Danielle Baskin made the onigiri at home, packaged them in specialty plastic wrap she bought in Japan, and asked friends to show up at the store on March 20 to stage enthusiasm — but the mayor’s office confirmed it had no partnership with 7‑Eleven. Baskin says the stunt was intended as a proof of concept to demonstrate local demand for convenient, inexpensive snacks like onigiri and to spur a real rollout, not simply to trick people." - Lauren Saria
