I Tried Every 7-Eleven Snack

Today we're here in China, and I reckon

the 7-Elevens are so good in Asia, if

you lived here, you could live off their

food constantly. So, that's what we're

going to be testing. Today, for 24

hours, I'm only going to be eating

7-Eleven scran. Uh starting with

breakfast. Let's go have a look.

>> What vibe are you going for?

>> Breakfast, knobhead.

>> All right, my friends, it appears we've

got wheat yogurt here. We'll give it a

go. Oh.

>> It's a big Chinese hash brown. That

looks pretty good. Cheers, yeah.

>> Be honest, not feeling great about the

egg.

>> Egg and mashed potato mix salad.

>> Wouldn't be me first choice, but we'll

scran it. Next up is yogurt flavored

with wheat. Then after that

>> [groaning]

>> This is actually the first thing I'm

eating today, and I'm my stomach's doing

a little bit of a flip, but it's fine.

Don't worry about me, viewers. I'll be

all right.

Honestly, I had such low hopes. That's

actually good. A bit cheesy, bit

eggy, bit mayoy, bit garlicky. You'd be

honking. All right, if you got the bus

after this, you'd be stinking. You would

not be snogging anyone. Good bit of

scran.

>> Oh, you're getting this in the spa?

>> Mhm.

Oh, that's decent.

>> All right, not bad.

>> Mhm.

>> They just do it so much better than us.

>> Apart from meal deals, what do we have?

>> Nought.

>> So, next up, corn yogurt.

>> Oh, not me burton stinks, man.

>> I'm going to drink this so I don't have

to get egg mayo on the spoon.

>> Ooh, that's good. So, it's yogurt,

right? It's not wheat flavored, it's got

bits of wheat in it, I think. That's

unbelievable. I thought, right, ooh, you

know, 7-Eleven's fine, and on the first

challenge, mate, wake up. This is so

good and healthy, right? Plenty protein,

plenty egg and now plenty wheat.

However, the main part of our little

breaky adventure, I think it's a noodle

hash brown.

>> It's a hockey puck.

>> We're off to a flying start.

>> We're going to be giving a great for

every meal of the day, right? For

breakfast, wasn't a huge amount of

choice, right? Didn't look too

appealing. However, it pulled through

over the line now against all odds. So,

I'm going to give breakfast B+. All

right, viewers. After breakfast, what's

the first thing you want? Ooh, it's

coffee time. Yeah, it is. Okay, let's go

and see what they've got on offer.

All right, let's go and find a spot to

try them. All right, viewers. Now,

obviously, right, this one right here is

going to be uh worst because there's

actually uh nothing in it. However,

there's a reason for that, and it's what

makes it so good. Okay, so, bang. We

made Rod's Iced Coffee cuz we thought

all the other ones tasted naff. But, why

are they naff? Well, uh that's because a

lot of them, just like pure nuke the

out of the coffee after they make

it. And that's so they can ship and like

stock it at room temperature. Now,

that's class if all you care about is

making money. It's not class, however,

if you want your drink to taste nice.

Controversial opinion, uh we think it

should taste nice. Um and it should

taste like something uh you might get

from a little cafe. Isn't that nice? So,

what we do uh is we keep ours cold all

the way from brewing to drinking it. Uh

now, sadly, uh that means if you sort

off to China for 3 weeks, just like your

trim, your Rod's isn't at its best,

either. But, that's just the [music] way

it should be. Anyway, let's see how

these ones get on. Good little stout

can, little fat can. My predictions are

too milky, too creamy, too sweet.

Yep, I'm right.

Now, that's awful.

Yeah, just pure sugar. Uh that is pretty

much exactly like the rest of the ones

at home. Naff. However, we'll rich,

right? Surely, if it's rich, it'll be

darker, it'll be stronger. Will it hold

me for through the night?

Is it still sugary? Is it still milky

shaky?

Yes. Yeah, that's exactly That's just

the same as the last one before, but

with a darker color. Quite a nice

aftertaste, actually. Nice little

well-rounded. Ooh, not good, but better.

Problem so far has been they're too

sweet, they're too sugary, that milky,

they're not like nice coffee. Let's try

a black one. I don't know who this is

made by. It's not an Nescafe jobbie.

Whoever makes this one

Fair play, that doesn't taste like

coffee in a bottle you'd normally get.

That just tastes like a normal iced

Americano.

But not mega sugary. Pretty normal,

right? Yeah?

Bit better, tastes like coffee, fair

play.

Hey Song win.

>> Decent brew.

>> Let's see what Nescafe are doing. This

is their cold brew. This is their black

coffee.

>> Right.

>> [clears throat]

>> Come here.

>> No.

Black coffee, you can't get this wrong,

surely.

Oh, it tastes like cigarettes, but like

not in a good way. It genuinely tastes

like rice. This one kicks the ass off

it. Okay, next we've got a little fun

one, I think. Cartons are usually seen

in the industry as like lower quality,

the cheaper option. If you want to go

for a budget option, that's what you

make it in. But is that the case over

here or is it better?

That is awful. Uh, we're going to be

giving coffee over here, specifically

store-bought ready-to-drink. We're going

to give it a C minus. However, this one

does not deserve to be with the rest.

Okay, then my friends, right, what would

any day be without a little sweet treat?

Grape lolly.

Grape lolly, shut up. Let it die.

>> [laughter]

>> Just wanted to say it.

What again?

Big Oreo and the cone is the Oreo.

Ice cream in a chili. Mate, this is

sick. Cheese Oreos.

Okay.

What would you try? Every Oreo.

[laughter]

So we've got white Oreos, brown Oreos,

green Oreos, black Oreos. We're making a

mega Oreo.

>> [laughter]

>> My Little Pony Skittles, we rude not to.

>> Oh my god.

Yes.

Feel

incredibly obese.

>> Oh wow. Look at that like a little

refrigerator on the book.

>> Okay, let's get started. All right, my

friends, they're calling it the fattest

day on record. I think let's start with

our Oreos and work our way along. Um so

here we have ooh little pink apple Oreo,

they called it.

All right, one for me, one for you.

>> Thank you.

>> It doesn't go.

You shouldn't have an apple Oreo.

>> Mhm.

>> Right? Weird little aftertaste. But will

it get better with cheese? Um probably

not.

That cheesy kick afterwards, that's

foul.

>> Oh god.

>> That's awful.

>> In case you weren't already of the

opinion

>> Um

>> nobody should be putting cheese in

Oreos, that is poor form.

>> Pretty terrible start, but it's all

right cuz I've got hope for the rest of

it.

>> Next up, right? We're going to swap over

to My Little Pony Skittles.

>> I'm assuming probably just tastes like

Skittles.

Slightly different than our Skittles.

Pretty nice.

>> Ooh, they're good.

>> They're like 80% normal Skittles. Maybe

slightly more chemically aftertaste.

It's a good chemically aftertaste. It's

good from me.

>> Our first ice cream, it's a grape lolly.

>> You love grape.

>> I do love grape.

>> The packaging says it comes with grapes

in it.

>> However, they've all fallen out in the

packet, so that's minus marks for that.

That is bloody lovely. That is

absolutely fantastic.

It's like syrupy, but it doesn't [music]

feel too naughty. It's like You know

when you have grape soda? It's like

slushy syrupy grape cold soda. [music]

That is unbelievably good.

Moving on.

>> Look at this little luxury little

>> matte black gold packet for an Oreo.

>> Uh have you noticed as well all of the

like the packaged foods in China it

looks like it's ready to burst.

>> Yeah.

>> Like it's ready to explode. So we're

going to be starting little coconut

Oreo.

That to me tastes like lotion.

>> All right. So good.

>> You like that? You like that?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay. My friends were split on that one.

Oh, these ones are different colors. One

half pistachio, one half cream.

>> Oh.

>> All in my gob.

In all honesty, boring. You don't really

notice it. Keep nuts out of Oreos.

However, next up is one I'm really

excited for. Little skinny number, yeah?

This is charcoal Oreo.

Mhm. It kind of tastes like cigarettes.

Like that's way more savory than you'd

expect, right?

>> Woah.

>> It's pretty good. You're not a fan?

>> No, I don't.

>> Okay.

>> That would get rough.

>> Chalk the Oreo.

It'll do a job. It's good. Okay, my

friends. Next up, to finish off our Oreo

segment, this is so cool. We've got,

right, ice cream.

Right? Yeah. But the cone is an Oreo

cone. And if that In case that wasn't

enough Oreos, we've whacked a little one

on the top, too.

Mhm.

So it's losing points, right? It's like

the bun in a burger, right? It's a It's

structural, right? It's supposed to be

holding it. But mine holds now sweaty

Oreo. That's rubbish. However, this

tastes really good. It's like soft and

chewy.

Probably the gummiest way anyone's ever

eaten an ice cream cone ever. This is

terrifying me, so we're going to save it

till last. Ice cream in a chili, good

fun. The like tart, um I think commonly

known as a pastel de nata in the

Portuguese region. That's also the

pronunciation. They usually look a

little bit more cooked than this. Um

that looks a little bit anemic. However,

give it a go.

Oh, that's awful. Oh, that's aw- Oh,

god. That's not a pastel de nata.

>> No.

>> That's a scrambled egg, isn't it?

>> Oh, god.

>> So that's terrible. However, will it

manage to get even worse if we put

matcha in it? Probably. Ah, what do you

want your omelet this morning? I would

like tea powder. That's exactly what I'm

after.

Somehow better. It's like a little bit

sweeter. It's a little bit vanilla-y.

This one they've literally just gone

like honestly like yeah brekkie in a

tub. That is awful. As a whole, not

great. But next up we had the longest

sweet I've ever seen in my life.

>> Good idea for a shot.

>> No.

>> We're not ready in the drum in it.

>> Yeah, pretty good actually.

>> They're really nice.

>> Mhm.

>> Yeah.

>> I reckon this might be mint choc chip,

you know. And I know somebody who likes

mint choc chip.

>> Me.

>> [laughter]

>> I'm not hugely a mint choc chip guy, I

will be honest.

That's not mint. That's like fruity, I

think.

It's really good, but it's a bit boring.

It's not blowing me lips off. I couldn't

tell you what that is. If you just

force-fed that and blindfold me, I'd say

thank you very much, but I would also

guess it was vanilla.

>> I think it's matcha vanilla.

>> Is it matcha? Are you sure?

>> Mhm.

>> Yeah.

Kind of boring. It's not bad though, is

it?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> It's not my Yeah.

Yeah.

>> It's not nice when the shoe's on the

other foot, is it? All right, more ice

cream cuz we haven't had enough yet.

>> Ooh, nicely preserved. What flavor is

that one?

>> Vanilla. Chocolate. Actually really

good. The chocolate is like proper

chocolate the way around through it.

That's a proper sweet treat that.

>> Me.

>> When I'm getting on uh the Millennium

Falcon and there's a furry friend there,

I say hi Chewie.

>> Nah, shut up, man.

>> Oh, yeah.

Ooh.

Absolute best one yet. Phenomenal.

>> This looks deadly.

>> Mhm.

Oh, okay. What they're doing is they

okay, it's chili ice cream. Why have

they shaped it like a banana?

>> You even see the spicy seeds in that.

>> Okay. Let's give this a go.

Okay. So, it doesn't hurt. It's not

>> [laughter]

>> It's got a small tiny kick to it. It's

just another hint of cheese. The outside

is savory, the inside is ice cream, and

it kind of just doesn't work. Overall,

we're going to give the sweet treat a B.

All right. Now, after all these snacks

you're going to need something to wash

it down with. And in this video, we try

some of the nicest drinks I've ever had.

Now, my friends, the only reason we've

been able to do this while in China is

because of Saley, the eSIM app from the

team behind NordVPN that gives you data

in over 200 different countries around

the world. They genuinely have held us

down from the minute we got off the

flight. Maps, translations, booking

trains, booking flights, all of it we've

done by trusting in this lot. Between

you and I, I was a little bit worried

about how we'd get on whilst we're out

in China just because of like all of the

internet stuff that you normally use

day-to-day that is banned out there. But

honestly, with Saley, it was absolutely

no bother. It's so easy to set up. You

download the app, you pick a plan,

install the eSIM once, and then it

automatically connects as soon as you

arrive. One thing I like is you can keep

track of exactly how much data you use,

so there's no nasty surprises on bills

once you get home. Saley also comes with

a ton of security features such as an ad

blocker, right? That saves you data and

by not loading those annoying pop-ups,

genuinely goes a long way. So, my

friends, if you're traveling soon, make

sure you download Saley and use my code

on screen right now for exclusive 15%

off your data plan. All right, you lot.

Get a load of these drinks.

Vamos, my friends. Okay, we've got a

good selection here. All right, first

off, this is how Red Bull looks, yeah?

Pretty nuts. It looks a little bit more

pungent. Definitely haven't had enough

caffeine already today.

So, it tastes exactly the same. It's

just not busy. I like that it comes in a

scary-looking can.

>> Yeah, a bit more nuclear.

>> Yeah, like a little beer keg or an atom

bomb. Big fan of Chinese Red Bull. Doing

a job. Next up, right?

You obviously rude not to. Big slushy

from 7-Eleven. It's human cola flavor,

but it could be

Mhm.

Mhm. I know you're thinking, right?

There's not really much you can say

about a slushy. Don't overdo it, right?

Really syrupy. If you did have this

every day, you'd be very fat fat.

However, you'd be a happy boy or girl.

Next up, right, interesting. This is

tree sap juice. Why don't we have sap

juice?

Eh? It's kind of fun. Smells alcoholic.

>> [music]

>> That is just water. I mean, I don't know

if it's just because we just had the

slushy.

That's tree water that. Like, water's

good, water's fine. I was expecting a

bit of a treat, but not bad. Already,

right, strong selection on offer.

However, when you go abroad, right, I

think there's one thing you have to

judge, the Fanta. Looking a little bit

more orange than we have it, which is

usually good sign.

>> This looks like the American one.

>> Yeah.

Oh, proper, proper orangey. Again,

syrupy, it's like you'd get from a soda

fountain. I'd never try that.

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, yeah. Getting the feeling this is a

very strong grade for the drinks so far.

Personal favorite of mine, right, that

we should do more of, completely

unsweetened green tea. It tastes like

grass. It tastes like soil. Huge. Huge

fan. Also, fun branding. Eh? Look at

that, zeros on the back everywhere. Dead

good for you.

>> It looks so sleek.

>> Right? Kind of looks like cloudy apple

juice. Is it weird to pan round and film

someone cuz that is the tiniest woman.

>> That's just the same size as Abby sat

down.

>> Woah! Anyway,

>> Hello.

>> It's lovely. I just feel relaxed. I

drink this, right, and I feel like I'm

in like a 24/7 lo-fi beats hip hop to

study and relax to.

>> Gorgeous. Look at that. Look at that.

>> You're not allowed that.

>> I feel like that's one I need to drink

for like a month.

>> Yeah.

>> And like make my taste buds like it.

>> Yeah, that's pure mega refreshing.

Humongous fan. We need more unsweetened

green tea in the UK. Is the gift of a

sentence anyone's ever said. However,

right, this one is a little bit of a

well-known industry legend, Pocari

Sweat. So, we're saying it's like an

electrolyte drink with sugar. Yeah?

>> A hydrating beverage.

>> It's unreal. Like Asian Lucozade, it's

quality.

It's maybe best sports drink ever. It's

so good. And to finish it off, we've got

lemon Coke Zero.

Mate, this is zero. Try that. That

doesn't taste like zero at all.

Oh. I am very sorry to report, my

friends, we have been severely drink

mugged by the Chinese. I'm going to give

the drinks an A star.

Okay, next up we have got lunch. Big fan

of lunch, at least one of my top three

favorite meals. Let's see what we can

get in 7-Eleven.

This might be testing the thesis. We

have got corn and rice. Do you have

this?

>> Barbecue pork bun.

>> Ah, no finish.

>> What do you have left? Do you know?

>> Uh, noodle.

>> Noodle?

>> Yes.

>> Nice. Okay, can we grab these three

then? Fish balls, siu mai, noodles,

please.

>> Ah, okay.

>> Yeah? Is that okay?

>> Okay.

>> All right, let's crack on with this uh

whilst we wait for the rest of our lunch

to come through. So, in here, I was told

fish balls and siu mai. It is a little

bit of a shame that we're not in Japan

for this. Like, they have like unreal

like fried chicken and like bigger

range. But, let's see what it's like

here.

Good. Noodles, mega mega tasty. Proper

proper nice. Let's try fish ball.

First bite, unnerving, right? Weird

weird rubbery texture. Probably feels

like you shouldn't be eating it. It

tastes good though. Siu mai, feel like I

should know more about, but I don't.

Salty, tangy,

siu mai-ish. All right, let's try the

rest.

Okay, this little bit concerned about.

So, we have got a microwave cheese and

crayfish toasty. Interesting. Concerning

to say the least, but let's give it a

try.

It's not bad. Like it's weird, and it's

probably going to give you some form of

cancer further down the line.

But it doesn't taste awful. Fish isn't

like as pungent as I thought it'd be.

The bread's a bit cakey. It's not

amazing, but it tastes pretty good. All

right, so this is case style cheese.

I'll eat anything. I'm not a picture of

health. We all know that. Nobody should

be putting that IN THEIR BODY.

GARLIC BREAD FROM THE CORNER SHOP. Looks

a little sad.

Picture looked a bit better than that,

but fair enough. All right, it feels

microwave, and that is not a compliment.

Put the cheese in there.

These all taste really good, but the

texture is abhorrent. Honestly though, I

could get on board with that. It's not

terrible. Now, let's get to my favorite

stuff, onigiri. So, these little little

rice triangles, right, that you go in

there, you buy them, and then you whack

them in the microwave. So good. Little

seaweed wrapped rice inside the rice,

some great big tasty salmon.

Honestly, we're testing every meal,

every snack. I think I could just live

solely off these all week. All right, so

lunch, all things considered, right?

Probably tasty, few weird textures

involved, and it probably would kill you

pretty quickly. However, decent

experience. We're going to give lunch a

B plus.

Okay, my friends, it's time for the big

one. Let's see what we can get for what

tea. All right, one of these.

One combo D as well, please. All right,

you know, I'll be honest, right?

Enthusiasm has dipped a little bit when

it's come to dinner. It looks pretty

much just like lunch, just maybe a

little bit less sad, and I'm a bit sick

of eating this crap. But let's have a

go. Okay, dinny din dins, my friends.

So, starting off, we've got some

unnerving sausage. That could just be

human flesh, couldn't it?

That's absolutely grim. I'm beginning to

think maybe this theory

not as bulletproof as I originally

thought it was. Anyway, let's have a go.

Sorry, it was a bit of a gross way of

eating it. Just bit the foreskin off the

sausage. Anyway, tastes really good. Not

a hot dog, but it's not bad hot dog.

Looks a bit anemic, but you know. Next

up we've got bao bun. Right,

controversial opinion. Bao buns are

better than the United Kingdom than in

Asia.

Very controversial opinion. They're too

doughy here. Like I feel like we we half

them and put loads of in. These are

just 90% bao. Ah. Oh.

E.

Ah.

Off. Little bao tear fee there. OOH. OW.

OFF. OW. LET'S GET A BITE.

That'll do. That's not bad at all.

Proper good filling. Tasty, sweet. Ooh,

little bit salty in there, too. Just too

much bao. Nobody needs that much bao.

Better than the sausage. Dinner is

getting better as it goes. However,

the piece de resistance. Spicy. Oh,

dear. Yeah, a little bit interesting, a

little bit rogue. However, this actually

looks genuinely tasty. So, we'll try the

noodles. So, let's get a bit of sausage

straight in there.

I'll tell you what, mate. That's so

good. So, it's time for the final

decision. I'm going to give dinner

a solid B. And I think that proves my

theory, right? You could do the whole

sun round the earth.

24 hours is what I mean. Of food from

7-Eleven and you would get by. You'd

[music] be very fat and you'd probably

have to have tumors removed pretty soon,

but you can do it. Theory tested. Thank

you very much, my friends, for watching.

Check out Rod's. The store locator is

down below and we'll see you again very,

very soon. Bye-bye.
