Challenge: Name one healthy thing you can purchase from a 7/11.
Go ahead. Try. I tried to think of just one thing and couldn't. Most of the shit they peddle is overtly dangerous to your health, cigarettes and alcohol. The best I could come up with was water, but even that has been processed, Dasani, which is owned by Coca-Cola adds salt to it's water.

11. Don't forget the Big Gulp (or whatever it's called there)
they give you your sugar intake for a week all in one cup! That's so generous - now I don't have to worry about getting enough!!

17. 7/11 Death Dogs - fully loaded
Edited on Tue Apr-12-05 09:03 AM by The White Tree
Guaranteed to cure any hangover. At least thats what I thought when I was in college.

Actually, they do sell bananas and yogurt and milk, though I recommend checking the expiration date.

(edited cause I can't spell or type :eyes: )

20. Bananas and apples at the 7-11 I go to
in Derwood, MD. It's combined with a Citgo gas station. They might sell sunflower seeds too, but they're probably salty as hell.

24. Nachos, Nature's perfect food!

Nachos contain all four of the important food groups:

*Salt
*Artificial cheese food product (fat and plastic)
*Processed, artificial-color-added Corn Flour
*Jalapeno peppers.

Add a 40oz bottle of beer, and you have a complete day's nutrition!



The Pagan Preacher
I don't turn the other cheek.

28. How about "not unhealthy"? Mountain Dew! (Hear me out, please.)
I haven't had a Mountain Dew in almost six years, which is healthy, so I think a Big Gulp Mountain Dew, after six years without one, would qualify as "not unhealthy."

Yeah, I know. I'm rationalizing my deep, deep desire for a Big Gulp Mountain Dew.

39. They usually have yogurt, some nutrition bars, and usually apples
Wawa and Sheetz are much better for "real" food than 7-11

No wait, you have to buy something to get that. Nevermind, aside from overpriced water, I don't think there's anything else.
