there are a few on evilbay

Yeah. I saw those. I'll likely end up going that route but figured I'd ask here.

If you are ever in Japan, a trip to the 7-11 is a must.   The selection and the quality of some of the food is very different from the US.

Some 7-11 Trivia

Formerly owned by the Southland Corporation, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 1990 and emerged from bankruptcy in March 1991, following a $430 million cash infusion from Ito-Yokado and Seven-Eleven Japan, 70% of the globally operated 7-Eleven, Inc. (i.e., the new corporate name that replaced Southland Corp. in 1999) is owned by two Japanese entities, Seven & I Holdings (i.e., Ito-Yokado) and Seven-Eleven Japan.

In 1946, in order to reflect the former "Tote'm" company's newly established extended hours of operation (i.e., from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, seven days a week) the chain's name was switched to 7-Eleven".

Make sure you put a few police cars out front. Thats right down the road from the academy so to gets a fair amount of PPD patronage
You`ll never find a Philly cheese steak on a menu in Philadelphia. It`s called a cheesesteak and we all know where it`s from...

The last time that I got arrested, it was coming out of a 7-11 in Temple, TX.

And no, I didn’t rob it.

All charges were dropped.

All of the fast food was better when I was stationed in Okinawa versus stateside. Go to McDonald's and the food looked like the photos on the menus. Their oil was very clear, like you can see the food cooking in it versus stateside where they filter it and use it over and over again
