Kudos to 7-11 for attempting to provide healthier food options at its convenience stores. The latest down home treat: mashed potatoes extruded from what looks like a modified Slurpee machine.
For just $2, you can get yourself a bowl of mashed potatoes and a giant tub of soda. And to make everything slide down easier, you even have the option to add an extra layer of chicken gravy on topthat's button 3 on the machine shownat no added price.
But who needs the mashed potato part? If 7-11 wanted a real hit on their hands, they'd just let customers add chicken gravy to any foodstuffs in the store. {The Clearly Dope via That's Nerdalicious}

- I believe what he meant by ''Kudos to 7-11 for attempting to provide healthier food options'' comment, was that he was comparing it to someone who might normally consume melted plasticized GMO potatoes and artificially flavored bacon grease intravenously......

Or press another button and get the ptomaine/salmonella special.
If those machines ever get cleaned it will be on the outside and
then with a dirty rag.
