      Don’t tell me you guys don’t chase down your Big Az Burger over there without a 72oz Monster Dick Gulp.

      You probably know it as the 212 centiliter Royale Gueule

        I used to work at a mail sorting facility, we had frozen sandwiches like this in the vending machines in the break room.

        I have a specific fondness of the pre made baguettes jambon emmental they have at French has stations. They are not exceptional, but fulfill a certain void in me.

        I somehow doubt American had station food will compare, though.

          Eeh. It’s the same kind of microwavable chow as they have in Japanese convenience stores - it’s not good, but it’s fine if you’re expecting it.

          The US has a pretty broad range of what counts as a “gas station” Some of them have on-site prepared food that is legitimately pretty good.

            I’d much rather eat at Wawa or Sheetz than a fast food place. I’ve never been to a Buc-ees but those are supposed to be great, too.

          You’re probably right, but we do have sushi at our gas stations.

          I don’t really recommend it.

        kwiktrip’s ‘quarter pound’ burgers aren’t horrible. they have in-store kitchens, so its not the microwave reheated crap like op that many stores have. better than some fast food chains. the paper thin bacon scrap they use on bacon cheeseburgers is pathetic, though.

      you can’t tell me you don’t have some terrible food in a gas/petrol station in your country. I’ve traveled. I’ve seen it.

        I once bought a sandwich in Tours that made my friend in the backseat actually gag when the smell hit the air after opening the cellophane.

      What beautiful horrors we have in store for you. Look on in terror and know that it’s already too late. The final choir has sung with abyssal chorus, signifying that the final gate has been opened and your doom is at hand. Now eat your vending machine cheeseburger

      That particular product is a Tysons Food convenience store reheat product.

      I’d say it’s completely American, but I saw Ashens reviewing a bunch of instant food crap like this from Norwich too
