It's been observed by others that the universal icon for saving a document is a diskette, but how many people now have never handled an actual diskette?

monkey ass. is going to shit out out of his monkey ass.
Only took me about 2 hours of late night internet sleuthing to solve the Speedee cup mystery, if indeed that's what it is. I’d never heard of a Speedee 7-Eleven. I don’t think we had them around here – must have been primarily a west coast thing. We just had plain 7-11s.
Not so fast, I'm west coaster and I've been 7-elevning for over 50 years and I never heard of Speedy Mart!

Ah, ok, I saw this on the 7-11 wikipedia page and assumed the “Speedee Marts” all became “Speedee 7-Elevens” and that California must be littered with them:

“With the purchase in 1963 of 126 Speedee Mart (all already open 7–11) franchised convenience stores in California, the company entered the franchise business.”

The only image of an actual Speedee 7-Eleven store I could find though, posted on the last page, has a very 70s look to it. Not much info to be found, but maybe they dropped the Speedee part of the name a long time ago and just became 7-11s.

My dad used to call 7-11 Speedee Mart all the time when I was a kid and I just thought it was one of his weird dad things.
Haha, thats great. Like old people used to say "frigidaire" for refrigerator.
Or "ice box".

That reminds me of our local ice cream man when I was a kid, Mr. Soft and Hard. Parents would exchange troubled glances whenever the ice cream truck drove through our neighborhood.
