My Biggest Complaint About 7-Eleven Cylinder Food

At what point did the corporate execs at 7-Eleven decide to cram every known form of meat and/or cheese into a cylinder press and sell the output day and night, 365 days a year?

Morning, noon, or night, … or really late night, it doesn’t matter. No matter what time of day you go into a 7-Eleven, two things will always be true

• You will not be the only person in the 7-Eleven
• Someone will be buying a round heated piece of meat on a bun

I suppose the tubular concoctions could be considered a modern marvel of sorts, almost NASA like as far as efficiency is concerned. Nothing but the good stuff - meat, cheese and (hopefully) some kind of fried covering. You can stop in, grab one … or six, and be on your way without skipping a beat. If you’re good at it, you can throw the box in the trash on the way out the door, eat the delight before you get to your car and burp it up before you leave the parking lot. Believe me, I’ve seen this done.

I don’t know and I don’t want to know the nutritional values of these devices. What I don’t know about what you eat, won’t hurt me.

I can tell you this much, sometimes they actually look good. But just at that very moment, something about the complete unnaturalness of my food being crammed into a rod hits me and I’m able to bail out and stick with the coffee.

Whatever your big bite of choice might be tomorrow (regular big bite, 1/4 pound or 1/3 pound big bite, breakfast big bite, jalapeno thingys with cheese big bites, or … whatever they invented tonight to sell for tomorrow big bite) just make sure you wash it down with a nice cold 800 calorie beverage.

And keep the cup, because you get refills.
