- Hello, friends, and welcome to another video.
This week, we're going to be eating
at three different 7-Elevens
in three different Asian countries.
It's all 7-Eleven, 24/7, baby.
In 1927, the Southland Ice Company
opened what is considered to be
the world's first convenience store in Dallas, Texas.
And thus, the chain that would come to be known
as 7-Eleven was born.
And today, nearly 100 years later,
7-Eleven has grown to become
the world's largest convenience store franchise,
with over 85,000 stores in 19 different countries.
Now, I would say most of us in the US
are familiar with 7-Eleven,
and though they can be very convenient, and endearing,
and a great place to go on July 11th,
I wouldn't say they have a reputation
for being particularly nice.
Nor would I say they're usually
a go-to spot for a quick pickup dinner.
Unless you are me, hi,
freshman year of college with my friend Richard.
But that is not true in many Asian countries.
As over the past few years,
I've seen tons of videos about really good snacks,
pre-prepared meals, cool machines,
and other items offered at 7-Elevens across Asia,
where it seems the 7-Eleven brand
is still a fast casual convenience store,
but with way better stuff.
Teas, baos, sandos, noodles, iced coffees, oh my.
So on our last few production trips to Asia,
we decided to visit a 7-Eleven
in each country we went to,
Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan,
both so we could try some famous snacks
and generally compare them,
but also mostly just to feast.
And if you guys like this international
convenience store content,
let us know and maybe we'll do
a part two as we continue our travels.
I have my eye on you,
biggest 7-Eleven in the world in Thailand.
All right, let's go.
But before we dig in,
I just want to give a quick shout-out
to the sponsor of today's video,
Rosetta Stone,
your most convenient way
to learn a new language.
Because there's no better way
to get more out of your travel experience,
other than going to 7-Eleven multiple times
on a daily basis, of course,
than to know at least some of the language
of the country you're visiting.
And since our most recent production trip
was our third trip to Japan,
we figured it was probably time
to start trying to learn a few more Japanese words
besides just "arigato gozaimasu" and "konbini."
Now, in case you've been living under a stone,
Rosetta Stone is a language learning program
that offers lessons in 25 different languages,
and they've been at it for years.
You guys might remember those vintage ads
with all the yellow discs,
but now, its language learning software
is fully available anywhere,
on your computer or phone,
and they offer lessons as short as five minutes.
So it's easy to fit your learning
into a busy schedule and/or on the go.
Currently doing my lesson on an overnight train.
And Rosetta Stone really leans
on an immersive learning method
that presents you with images and words
entirely in the new language you're learning.
So even if you're at an uber beginner level like us,
your brain will intuitively start
to make connections between the two.
(app speaking Japanese)
(app strums)
- One of my favorite features
is the true accent speech recognition technology,
which actually gets you speaking the language out loud,
and also make sure your accent is up to snuff
by comparing it to native speakers.
(Safiya speaking Japanese)
(app strums)
And we've teamed up with Rosetta Stone
to offer you guys an exclusive discount of over 60% off
an unlimited language lifetime subscription.
That's access to all 25 languages, forever,
at the link in the description below
or by scanning the QR code on screen.
So you can start your language journey today.
And with that, I think it's time for a snack.
So our first 7-Eleven was in Singapore,
located appropriately in the Jewel mall
at the Changi Airport.
Yes, we spent a lot of time at the Singapore airport.
We just kept coming back.
This is actually the first 7-Eleven
cafe concept store in Singapore.
What that means exactly, I guess we'll find out.
Now, 7-Eleven is Singapore's
most popular convenience store chain
with around 500 stores in every corner of the city.
And though the layout of the store
isn't wildly different from a Western 7-Eleven,
you can immediately clock the differences in the inventory,
from the refrigerated drink selection.
Oh my God, I haven't seen Ovaltine in forever!
I love Ovaltine. What the heck?
To the full aisle of instant noodles.
- [Tyler] It's like a wall of noodles.
- [Safiya] To the undeniable Pokemon through line.
Oh my God, it's Pokemon.
Oh my God, what the heck?
- [Tyler] Piplup!
- [Safiya] Wait, that's so cute.
Figurines, milks.
This melon-flavored milk is kind of interesting.
- [Tyler] It's Bulbasaur milk.
- [Safiya] And Oreos.
They had more flavors that Mustafa Center,
but there is a lot of Pokemon here.
And then fittingly for the airport,
some Singapore souvenirs and travel pillows.
But we were here to eat,
so it was onto the refrigerated food section to start.
So, in lieu of like a classic egg in a bag,
there are, well, eggs in a bag.
- [Tyler] Right.
- [Safiya] I also like that this like chicken breast
looks like a dinosaur tooth.
Just like here in the States,
a lot of Singaporean 7-Eleven customers
are also interested in viral Japanese 7-Eleven items,
so they do stock a fair amount of those,
like the famous onigiri.
I think we should probably get one.
- Yeah. - Just because
I feel like they're kind of iconic.
Iconic.
And the also iconic Hokkaido milk custard cream puffs.
I think these are them.
- You want to get them? - Yeah, I think so.
Below that, there were some microwavable
pre-prepared items, a lot of which seem to have
classic Indian flavors,
like curry chicken, butter chicken biryani.
But this sticks out to me.
It's butter chicken enchiladas.
- [Tyler] That sounds like 7-Eleven to me.
- I feel like that could be a nice East meets West moment.
And as for a drink,
though, we had seen some intriguing,
cursed options in the back,
like these Warheads Sour sodas.
- [Tyler] That looks like death in a can.
- Yeah. (chuckles)
Literal death.
My curiosity got the better of me,
and I picked up this instead.
This is a white fungus drink,
and they're presenting it so casually
that I think that we must get it.
- Yeah. - It's not in a special case.
It's not like, hey, by the way, it's fungus.
It's like right next to the teas.
It's white fungus drink.
And we did notice a lot alternative chip flavors
in the bagged snack section,
like grilled lobster and then scallop-flavored Lay's.
- [Tyler] Scallop seems like a random flavor.
