Double Stuffed Turkey Sandwich from 7-Eleven

Item Purchased: Double Stuffed Turkey Sandwich from 7-Eleven
Location Purchased: 7-Eleven / 1350 S. Halsted / Chicago, IL
Price: $3.59 + tax

Review: Much like the 7-Eleven Smoked Turkey & Jack Cheese Sandwich I have eaten more times than I would like to admit, this sandwich boasts whole wheat bread and a lot of turkey. As an added bonus, there is no turning lettuce drooped on top of the fixin's. Since it was nowhere to be found in the product description, I also thought there was no mayonnaise on this sandwich. Unfortunately, squeezed between the off-yellow (almost beige) cheese product and the mounds of deli sliced turkey, there was a bit of normal 'naise. Yuck.

7-Eleven has packets of ketchup, packets of mustard, packets of relish... and packets of mayonnaise at their condiment bar. Why can't they just leave the damn stuff off of their sandwiches? Not everyone likes egg yolk gunk on their sandwiches. (of course, if I had it my way, they could leave off that disgusting cheese-like-substance too).

I'm nitpicking though. This sandwich is mostly bread and turkey. For a budget lunch, this isn't too bad.

Just be sure to grab a handful of mustard packets on your way out.

Bota-Nice Redskin Spanish Peanuts (4 oz. bag)

Item Purchased: Bota-Nice Redskin Spanish Peanuts (4 oz. bag)

Review: Though not as tasty as Bota-Nice's Japanese Style Peanuts, these will suffice (I don't really have a choice if 7-Eleven isn't going to reorder the Japanese ones, do I?). Using a lot of each of the three ingredients in the peanuts (peanuts, iodized salt and vegetable oil), Bota-Nice knows how to pack a flavorful punch inside of a cellophane bag. Using the who-knows-how-many chemical ingredients in the little packet of hot sauce included with the peanuts, Bota-Nice and La Botanera know how to pack a tangy, slightly spicy punch as well.

Eating Bota-Nice products may have just spoiled me. I used to feel that any peanut product I ate needed more salt. As you can see in the picture, these peanuts have the perfect amount of salt. Now, I feel as if any peanut product I eat needs more hot sauce. Something tells me I should stop wearing so many white T-shirts.
