You're probably familiar with 7-Eleven in the States as a place where you're able to buy questionable hot dogs, massive Slurpees, and overpriced cigarettes.

But here in Taiwan, it's a completely different universe.

7-Eleven is the epicenter of everyday life in Taiwan.

You can buy wholesome meals, pay your college tuition, and even send and receive packages.

I can't believe you can get this here, this looks so good.

Like some of this stuff looks pretty extra.

Oh my god, you can get like clam spaghetti here.

So apparently, there are more than 5,000 7-Elevens in all of Taiwan.

And it happens to be the largest convenience store chain here.

They have multiple coffee stands and even have nitro cold brew, which is pretty amazing.

Very conveniently they have all these microwaves behind us.

They can heat up any of the food that you buy here.

In the U.S. I think I might have seen a microwave at a 7-Eleven, but it was very questionable, extremely crusty.

Whereas here, you can see they're constantly being up keeped and cleaned.

Also I'm kind of curious what the hot dog quality is going to be like, you know.

Because I have had a 7-Eleven hot dog in the States before, and it was very sulfate-y.

I think I want this one 'cause I usually go for the darker vibes.

I'm looking to see what that's like because I'm a huge boba fan and this is probably their version of Slurpee but probably 100 times better.

I would say the biggest difference between a 7-Eleven in the States and 7-Eleven here in Taiwan is probably gonna be the selection.

Like there's obviously alcohol, draft beer, which maybe we will get later.

Even food that's like a complete meal, whereas in the States, you're gonna be eating like very, very gnarly snack vibes.

Something you probably wouldn't really want to be doing all the time.

Whereas here I can imagine actually getting lunch here every single day.

I just found out that at 7-Elevens in Taiwan, you can do a lot more than just buy stuff.

You can also print things, you can get things faxed, you can pay tuition.

You can call a car if you're too drunk and you need someone to pick you up.

There's so many things you can do, and it's just through this machine right here.

I have cupcake-flavored Lays, 'cause you know, gotta have that.

I have a spicy garlic Doritos, which I'm very excited for.

So we found out that you can buy gifts and have them sent to the store.

Yeah it's not sweet like I thought it was going to be.

I thought it was gonna be like that Filipino sausage kind of.

It's different, it's like, hot and sweet.
