It's late at night, you're extremely hungry, and you have nothing to eat at home. What are you going to go out and eat?

[MCheetah]

It's late at night, like 1 or 2am and you wake up, very, very hungry. you've got nothing to eat in your fridge (even if you're the "always prepared" type, let's assume the fridge lost power and all of your food spoiled or something; either way, you've got nothing to eat in your fridge). You've GOT to go out and find something to eat.

Convenience stores by state.

Even if you live in the country, you know there's a 7-Eleven, or Wawa, or Stewart’s, or Sheetz, or Parker’s, or Casey’s, or Rutter’s, or Stuckey's, or Royal Farms, or QuikTrip, nearby your home. Only a three minute drive, or a 15 minute walk, away. There's a few other places as well, but not many, at this time of night.

7-Eleven, the world's largest convenience store chain.

Sheetz, a midwestern-only convenience store that sells great food 24 hours.

So...

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO EAT?

Inspired by this question.

Travel just a few minutes to the nearest Convenience Store for a hot dog or two cause that's all they got at this time of night.

Travel to the gas station across the street from the convenience store and take your chance with WHATEVER they got in there.

Travel 15 minutes to the OTHER Convenience Store twice as far away for something better than a hot dog.

Travel 25 minutes by car to the only 24-hour McDonald's open in the entire area, but all they've got are burgers; nothing else on the menu.

Travel 35 minutes by car to the 24-hour diner and order a real meal, although it'll take another 20 minutes of waiting before you get it.

Travel 45 minutes by car to the only 24-hour supermarket in the entire area and buy some groceries, but it'll require a 20 minute wait in line cause it's crowded and only has one cashier on deck.

Stay at home and wait until morning, even though you're starving.

15 minutes for some gas station pizza. Gas station pizza is underrated anyway. 😩

That Cheetos sushi looks sketchy af lmao

[MCheetah]

The part of the US I previously lived in never had gas station pizza or convenience store/gas station hybrids, and now, I'm curious what gas station pizza tastes like.

imengine.public.prod.dur.navigacloud.com/

[420Rachel]

It's actually pretty good. I mean it's not the best pizza you ever had but it's decent. How's the pizza in Korea? 😄

[MCheetah]

Korean pizza SUCKS! They put corn in this sh*t! And most of their specialty toppings are things like sweet potato pizza, hot dog pizza, kimchi pizza and sh*t.





Pizza is also usually expensive here too and costs twice as much as the US, like $15 to $30 for a pizza here. Thank god they have Pizza Hut here, and it's not THAT different from the US and costs around $20 for a large.


They also unfortunately have Papa John's and Domino's here too and they're just as trash as they are in the US.

Only other edible pizza here besides Pizza Hut is a chain called Pizza School and they have some decent toppings like Chicken Tender, Quesadilla, Steak, and some others. However, they're only small/medium size pizzas (10" diameter), which is why you can see they only cost $6 to $11.

[420Rachel]

Corn on pizza? What are they smoking over there? 😖 That "Pizza School" stuff looks good af though. Tell them they need a Mellow Mushroom over there lol

[Sirenboobzilla]

Diner, hands down. Beef stroganoff with a side of lentil soup

[Fuentes]

I'm going to the grocery store convenience stores are not healthy out here and full of homeless people in and out and touching stuff. I don't see any 7/11's near me unless I drkve 30 mins into the hood, plus like I said dirty people in them. So the 24 7 giant store I would go too lol

[douride2]

My cupboard is never that bare & I'm never that hungry that I would have to get up in the middle of the night for something to eat.

[Mangospacho]

Waffle House. Usually they’re open 24 hours.

[MCheetah]

Would that be the diner, then? I don't know what Waffle House is.

[Mangospacho]

It’s like a Denny’s or an IHOP. They have them mainly in the South.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I’d go to the fruit store and buy a bunch of organic bananas.

[Topaz1979]

Mc D!

[MCheetah]

Honestly, prior to weight loss surgery, I would've done A, then C, then D, in that order. The hot dog to hold me over; then whatever pizza they had at the better 7-Eleven, then to McDonalds for a Double Quarter Pounder and two Cheeseburgers to go, and eat half the Double Quarter Pounder on the way home. (I only ate like that when hungry; not normally.) But now, I don't get hungry anymore and can survive off of water.

[Topaz1979]

You’d eat it all in one night? 🤯 oh wow my driver had it too he looked great once he healed up, he looked much slimmer than he was and he also ate less compared to his previous intake but he got used to buying a large amount of food! So He’d share his lunch left overs for the day with my friends and I who he’d drive to school until he got into the habit of buying appropriate food portions those were the good days😌!. Feeling better?

[Topaz1979]

He’d drive us to school and pick us up^

[Topaz1979]

Felling better post op? Or are you still in recovery?

[MCheetah]

Yeah, I am still getting used to buying a lot less. For the first time in my life, I have leftovers in the fridge spoiling. I NEVER had spoiled food before in my life! I keep buying food supplies that I can't eat on my own when before, I used to be able to eat them in 1 or 2 meals, like a 32 piece BBQ boneless chicken set, even though I wasn't even an overeater prior to the surgery, but I did eat larger portions and often times, they're only sold in large sizes, like that chicken, or pizzas.

After the surgery, I can barely eat one slice of pizza now. Or maybe six Chicken McNuggets. It's too much for me, even as leftovers. Before surgery, eating a hot dog, two slices of pizza, and a Double Quarter Pounder with a 64 ounce Big Gulp wasn't a huge amount for me. I could probably eat 4,000 calories or more in one sitting IF I wanted to (I rarely did; I wasn't an overeater, like I said). And now, I can barely eat a single slice of plain pizza (and that's all I'd eat for the entire day, too). That's how much the gastric sleeve surgery changed things. And because most unhealthy foods are too large of quantities to buy now, I end up eating healthier by default, because a single apple or something is more is more common than being able to buy pizzas by the slice (which in Korea, you mostly can't; you'd have to buy the whole pie). In other words, healthier food is usually sold in smaller portions, I've now noticed.

I had the surgery on August 1st, so it's been almost two months now. I've lost only a little bit of weight, but they said it would take a full year before I saw actual progress in the mirror.

[Topaz1979]

sounds like you had really bad eating habits i did too in high school in like grade 9 on average I was eating no breakfast, sweets or like a sandwich roll and a juice for lunch, then at home i would have fruits and a super small serving of evening dinner and i'd skip meals a lot.

I started slimming down and i then went from fit to skinnier and skinner and mentally unwell as a result of not eating well, but that's all over now i changed my ways in 10th grade and ate better than i did and that's when my driver would feed us lol!, lesson learned. It's great to hear that you are changing your ways for the better and you'll surely reap the rewards for doing it!.

[msc545]

Probably find something close and easy

[exitseven]

I would wait until the next day

[JesseJayNeak]

Probably I’d eat at a diner
