7-11 - Thank you come again

Most of the 7-11 stores by me are connected to BP gas stations, with some scattered standalones. Convenient Food Mart is more common for standalone convenience stores, along with independent ghetto stores that clearly used to be 7-11 at some point.

The taquitos and the pizza are alright, at least that I remember. Last time I ate 7-11 was 7 years ago when I worked at a garden center and occasionally went out to landscaping sites.
 
I find many people lamenting that the US 7-11's are not as nice as their foreign counterparts. However they seem to have never stepped inside another chain because chains like Wawa have a ton of shit that 7-11 doesn't.

Or you can go to Costco, fill up and get something from their food court for good portions and cheap prices.

wawa still doesn't have nikuman
 
tonight's haul
from the Beer group
- a Corona Familiar
from the pastry group
- Gansito Cherry
from the candy group
- Cherry Sours
- Mystery Monkeys Gummy Candy

Corona Familiar is still my fave gas station beer.
Gansito Cherry is sorta like a Zinger/Twinkie thing. cake with creme and fruit flavored goop on top, wrap the whole thing in chocolate.
Good but they don't work on the road like a Zinger or a Twinkie, very fragile.
Cherry Sours are the same as they've been for the past hundred years or two
I'm about halfway through the bag of Mystery Monkeys. I still haven't really figured out what any of them were supposed to be but they've been a nice enough mix of random fruit-like flavors so I'm not too pissy. They only promised Mystery Monkey, not Answer Monkey.
 
My 7-11 is now Speedway Express. Their taquitos are awful, the drinks are overpriced, and the cigarettes are 2$ overpriced too. Fuck gas stations. Just go to your town grocer's with a decent cigarette rack and a deli. You're just getting frozen food anyways.

The 711 by me sold 711 brand cocoa dusted almonds for a couple months but I haven't seen them in a while. They were fucking delicious. Otherwise, I only go to 711 for beer, smokes, bluntwraps, and entire big gulp cups of iced coffee
 
The thanksgiving sub sandwich is both horrifying and delicious. I give it three shots of humulin out of five.
They’re pushing the mobile checkout option for 10x points but none of my stores have the option.
I’ve been to Amazon go before, they still had discontinued skinny cans of feisty cherry Diet Coke, mmmm cancer.
It’s probably not as slick as that.
 
I really like the zero Refresh drinks, I wish they made the Cucumber mint in zero
 
Cucumber Mint is also in Gatorade version; I find Gatorade’s version better.

My old 7-11 back home had Gatorade as a soda fountain option briefly. Good stuff.

We don't have Wawa's where I live but I've always been curious. There are other similar stores to 7-11 like AmPm but 7-11 is more readily available. I have three walking distance from my house and I can pick and choose which one I want to go to based on how many homeless people I want to encounter (living downtown in a city is fun)

I've got a few near me, very nice. Basically a fully functional sub shop with a large convenience store, misc other hot food like fresh pretzels and some dinner-ish things.
also they have a particular peanut-and-chocolate candy that's quite nice, some jewish-ish goldsomething name, you can get a big fucking bar of it at normal candy bar price or a small one for fifty cents, very good for "I want a bit of candy but not an entire damn bar"
gobblers used to be good but went way downhill with supply chain issues
as good as they are, there was a 24 hour indie gas station I used to work near that had constant subs, but they were Boars Head, really good shit. also they sold bongs. Wawas around me dont.
I forget if I've seen bongs at a seven-eleven. I know I got a grinder with a lenticular dragon thing on it at one on 192 about twenty years ago.
Pretty sure I still have it.

Never heard of a Gobbler's either. Are Wawa and Gobblers not a West Coast thing? I've never seen anything other than cigarettes and such at 7-11 but I also live around a bunch of smoke shops so they probably aren't interested in the competition

Wawa is afaik mostly Northeast, but they've moved in to Florida hard last ten years or so. During the Thanksgiving season Wawa offers a sandwich called "The Gobber" which is a usual mix of Turkey Day stuff, turkey, cranberry, potato, gravy, stuffing, that sort of thing.

the costco I go to has the food court outside and doesn't check for card, but tbh the food court is decent prices but not as good as the five dollar chickens
 
I used to regularly eat 7-11 taquitos. Never got any tummy troubles from it, but I'm pretty sure they did something. Like make me a bigger dumbass. Now I cant even look at them without feeling repulsed, which is weird, because it's not like they've ever made me sick. I dont know how to put it other than 7/11 food emits a cursed, chaotic vibe that most brains either translate as "that's not food" or "I want to be one of those hot dogs rolling on those rollers mmmmm". But you will never be that hot dog. So your only option is to eat that hot dog.

I like those taco taquitos and the buffalo chicken roller. One day they had some kind of spicy garlic version of the roller and I had it, tasted fine. Never saw it again.

I actually own some goofy 7-11 cross promotional merch from over a decade ago. The Hangover movie had little shots like 5 hour energy, and I have a stupid plastic slurpee cup holder with lights, for the movie Cowboys and Aliens.
