FWIW - the convenient stores near me sell the Core Power Elite Protein drinks. I have picked them up and it helps make my protein goals on days where I come up short. They do taste pretty good but more expensive than a soda.
It's possible people are depressed and looking for the most tasty option.
- ElevenLathe 2y agoOne thing 7-11s have started stocking in recent years is packaged hard boiled eggs. The price is insane if you compare it to boiling your own, and they are a bit tasteless, but you don't have to peel them and the price is reasonable compared to other stuff there if you're stuck eating lunch from 7-11.
- firesteelrain 2y agoIt is more than twice the price of Wal-Mart! Well, I guess that's the price of convenience. 2/hard boiled eggs - $2.09 @ 7/11 6/hard boiled eggs - $2.96 @ Wal-Mart 6/raw eggs - $2.62 @ Wal-Mart

- SoftTalker 2y agoTwo hard-boiled eggs and an apple is a pretty nutritious lunch for about $2-$3 tops.
- firesteelrain 2y agoIt’s cheap but not nutritious. It’s less than 300 cal and 12g of protein + 4g of fiber. You would be hungry. Need fiber and protein to keep you full
