7-Eleven Hawaii Taste Test -- What's in a Hawaiian 7-11 convenience store? 

Yes! Shes so sweet too ♡

That's not smart

Thats my issue with food i like it all 😭😭

So worrying about food being bad for you and the environment is being a snob now. hmm.

Yes

The ones in south korea are the best

7-11 USA isn’t that great

Because someone in an office decides what you can have. They don't actually care what we the consumer want.

Raven North it's what's selling in that area why bother with good food when it's clear people are eating up the garbage

Me too! That food looked so refreshing and balanced. Yummy 😋

you are lucky

LOL i also appreciate the representation, but 7-11 isnt the place id shout out to "the world"

@@crealkillr well not American 7-11’s but most every other 7-11 in the world is worth shouting out. They actually have great food

@@stussycat77 Im sorry your local cuisine isnt that great then. 7-11 is decent food, but its for when you are going somewhere. Im not leaving the house to go get food there just to come back home. Its a snack when you cant get better food

​​@@crealkillr I think stussycat77 was more saying that most convenience stores here in the states don't carry anything near the quality of what Hawaiian ones do. I, myself, certainly am no stranger to buying something grab n' go from a convenience store. But, I do wish ours had such awesome stuff like these do and I wish it were better quality than it is.

Like song lyrics says..."And I knoooow, it's good for the soul. Feelin' just the way I Do".....

They’re called the koolau mountain range

@@kamailesyoutube nice! They are so pretty!

reminds me of jurrasic park

Carlo They filmed Jurassic Park in the Koolau ranch, so you are thinking of the correct thing ^~^

​@@sleepydreamer5519....,Koolau is mountain range on E Oahu. Kualoa is area/district also on E Oahu, namesake of working ranch/adjacent beachpark

Zoe Cierra Thats up to them. The different food they have here in Hawaii (im from Hawaii) are most likely food made for Hawaiians. Like the Spam Musubi. It originated here in Hawaii.

I am so with you on petitioning to have them bring over food like this to the main lands

@@azurized I think you mean locals but also because we're culturally more Asian influenced here

Cause there’s already too much obesity on the mainland, you have enough snacks, don’t be greedy

@Shinidoshi Yup one wrong move with rice can be catastrophic.

Curry eggs and steamed broccoli on the side 💙

I want to vacation in Hawaii soon, which island would you recommend?

Chicken flavored Ramen

Ramen noodles, might make eggs and toast later.

Chicken Fajitas

Me too 😭

Mike Chen how some really good videos on Japanese and Taiwanese 7/11.

Nate Broadus why are you jealous?there nothing to be jealous about

Nate Broadus tell me what is going on with you huh whiny butt

JD there s nothing to be jealous about why are you throwing a tantrum huh?

Thanks.❤️

First time I went to a 7-11 on the mainland in Portland, my husband warned me they won't have musubi's. I was like, okay, maybe they have other bentos. I mean, it is a 7-11. I was so wrong! I never went to another 7-11 on the mainland again. That was 15 years ago. Hawaii 7-11s spoiled me.

Sadly here in the mainland US, 7-11 is absolute 💩

LOL i can imagine

That's kind of how it works for many people in Japan. Many of them eat from convenience stores, or just eat at restaurants.

IDK.. hawaiians are heavy just as we are here on the mainland lol Might wanna rethink that strategy

fokiat What has that to do with whether I cook or not? I won’t eat any more if I had to buy food out than I would if I cook. It’s most likely that I would eat more home-cooked food than what I’d buy from a 7-11 store. Most of the food Emmy was eating was based on the Japanese diet. You don’t have nearly as many large Japanese as you do Hawaiians or Samoans. That food is a lot healthier than the fast food we have in the contiguous 48 states. Here the population is getting larger and larger every year. What’s the reason for that? Certainly not the food from 7-11. 😁

@@BH-sn7ws Enjoy your spam 🤣

fokiat I can’t eat Spam, it’s too high in sodium but I will enjoy everything else! 😁

Or "It's like Mars" 😂😂😂 so terrible yet funny lmao

I was going to tell her the same thing! So funny! Ducky!

You are gorgeous

Walk in to us 7-11 Nd ask for dumpling lmao

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

I now want to visit Hawaii just for the foods your 7-Elevens sell. I live in Delaware and feel cheated that we don't get that shit here. None of our 7-Elevens sell that shit, and I can count the number of times I've shopped there with the fingers on one hand. Around here, the big deals are two regional convenience stores: Wawa and Royal Farms. The former is known for their subs, soups, and desserts. The latter is known for their fried chicken, hot dogs, burgers, and potato wedges (RoFo calls them "Western Fries").

yep its a luxury cuz of how expensive shit is in hawaii that everything caters to the mainland tourists than to local honest people

Yesss there's nothing better than growing up in Hawaii! Such amazing memories.💓 Emmy asked if it was sacrilegious to want hotsauce on her kalua pork, if Hawaiians would be offended. I'd have to say no, Hawaiians are all about freedom of food. Eat how you want to eat!

@@buxomboba8210 only chili pepper water. Anything else would be an abomination.

mai poina 1893 I rock Tabasco and shoyu on my kalua pork and cabbage but chili pepper water is just as good. Always gotta rock chili pepper water with the lau lau tho

I’m not gonna lie, we’ve all been trying to replicate the spam musubi glaze forever

Was just thinking the same thing lol

Mason Teague and you both have hollow legs. How do either one of you stay thin?

@@bunkosquad2000 huh? Wtf?

Love Micky Cgen!

LOL!!! I thought that too! Love Mikey!

Can you imagine the levels of chill that would be? 😊

Omg 😆

That’s one thing that annoys me about you tubers. They don’t cater for every community. Especially the deaf community. I personally am not deaf but I know people who are HOH and feel bad for them for missing out on awesome content like this.

That's the American way.

Medusa White youtube recently announced that they would be taking away community-submitted captions. so for the creators who normally don’t caption themselves and sometimes allow their viewers to do so, they won’t have captions at all unless they do it themselves

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

@Amanda Imhoff yes, exactly!

Lmao we even have spaghetti here lmao

Stronghold Muzinaki Oddly specific. And even more odd but same.

I had my breakfast (oatmeal) while watching so I can relate 😅 it's better than watching this type of content while hungry!

I'm eating spaghetti while watching this

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

my thoughts to

I used to Love The Hot Dogs when we had them here in Australia lol.

@@megancaldaia6708 Maybe they were better quality in Australia? Cuz here they're the worst possible hotdogs you can get in America, lol

@@teridoster5840 They must have been better quality as they tasted so good. I used to put mustard, bbq sauce and tomato sauce on it too and the buns were actually nice and soft too.

Ummm Hawaii is in the USA.

On your ears? Why not the nose part?

@@UkuleleNohGood how are you going to wrap a rubber band on the nose?🤔 What do you mean? 🤔

Or, get some Nerd Wax.

UkuleleNoGood you can’t wrap a rubber band around the nose.. even if you could it would be super obvious and the nose isn’t the problem. The legs of the glasses don’t hold them on and keep them from slipping.

Also it’d be kind of uncomfortable to have a rubberband resting on your nose all day

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

@Rosanna Kobayashi The last time I was in Oahu, I was told to go Giovanni’s by some local friends but never made it. They really raved about it and hope to go the next time I’m there.

She definitely needs to go to Giovanni's, if not she would be missing out!

@@marcusfarcus awww shucks! Hopefully the next time you're on Oahu, you can make it to Giovanni's!

Rosanna Kobayashi you think she even reads the comments? I see she never says anything, or likes anything.

@@CutePeanut83 Its ok Danielle, if she sees it she does if she doesn't. Well, its sad and I hope someone she meets here suggests for her to go to Giovanni's.

@@faiz7403 The food is very basic. Hot dogs that always look greasy, simple sandwiches, like ham and cheese or canned tuna fish. I guess you can microwave meals there too. Things you would only eat if you were very hungry and had no other options. Nothing at all like what Emmy was having that is for sure.

Elissa Celino I’m jealous!!

I’m guessing you’re talking about the Manapua man. Our version of the ice cream man but he sells food too and a lot of other stuff lol

@@94FADE eyyyyy miss that truck tho

Yes!!! I miss sweet bread so much. I loved the mayo in it, sweet and just brings the whole thing together

That sandwich is a winnah

ᄌᄉᄋ I have to admit that the first time I got it, I wasn’t expecting the Mayo and just assumed it was cheese sauce. That’s was until I looked at the label.

You can’t go wrong with 7-11 plantation ice tea! Cheap and refreshing!

I would always open this sandwich and smear the cheese and bacon so that it would be evenly distributed or else I wouldn’t get it on the edges of the sandwich. I miss it :( 7/11 9n the mainland isn’t the same.

Leonard's Malasadas. Main location is on Kapahulu. They also have a truck at Waikele shopping center.

She did! Wonder if had anything to do with your suggestion? :D

I’m so glad she did! I only had tried a few on the way to a scuba trip and wondered what all those other crazy flavors were like! Gotta go back and try that macadamia one 😋

3 types!! The white kids who grow up there and want to move away really bad, UNTIL THEY DO AND REALIZE THE MAINLAND SUCKS EGGS!!!!!

They are the BEST

In hawaii you find lots of different Asian foods mixed with American crap.

It looked and sounded like Beefaroni to me.

She ate the spaghetti that you're speaking of from Jolibees

I love sweet tomato sauce

Plantation days my friend! Local Grinds is made up of Asian/Spanish/ American foods.

I don't know - are ducks halal?

@@osakarose5612 That's the point, translators are bots, as are the caption apps. AI is no match for natural stupidity, which is what you get when you have a bilingual ( sort of ) presentation and a monolingual captioner.

I always think of it as ‘eat a daky mouse’. ‘Ducky mosque’ makes far more sense 💜

Lol.... "Itadakimasu" ... kinda like the Japanese version of 'bon appetit'.

Cathy Shaw-Kalloo Thank-you for writing that out with the translation. I never knew what Emmy was saying.

Lori Janssens if you enjoy poke, Foodland grocery stores have the best poke bowls! 👍🏻

Make sure to try the Teriyaki Spam Musubi!!! They're so killer. And yeah, Foodland has really good Poke, but Taniokas in Waipahu has the best Poke Bowls! Get it with sushi rice, and get a fried Ahi paty.... So ono!!! ❤️ ❤️

@@AlohaLowah taniokas is thee best poke.

They are everywhere! Go to the ones on the Windward side! Aloha! Poke all day!

The spicy tuna roll is the shit!

Ha! We go to Pho Horn's all of the time and my boys can each eat a small #19. Glad you enjoyed it and next time say 'hello.'👋🏼

Libby’s is closing today

@@justinkoga5593 Libby's hasn't been good for years.

halfbreed808 what?! Libby’s was always the best 😭

Too bad Libby's closed down. Used to always take a box over to family on the neigbor islands.

Trees!

Omg I wear glasses and never heard of that, I'm going to check it out thank you

That is one solution. I've heard of that stuff and it actually seems to help people who's glasses keep slipping. Or she could get actually properly fitted glasses... ^_~ I know she had a sponsorship for a website that sells glasses over the internet (good for her!) and I think those might be from there? It's good that that seems to be a more affordable way to get prescription glasses in the US, but it has that as a downside... I personally have only ever bought my glasses at an actual optician - that way I can test the fit out first in store, get a better picture of how they look on me and have them shaped perfectly to my face (they can heat up the frame there to make minor adjustments and they can change the settings of the little pieces that with a lot of glasses sit directly on your nose - sadly: no idea what these are called in english). I've been wearing glasses for well over 20 years now and I never have the problem of them slipping - I only know that from sunglasses that haven't been fitted... I think, if you actually need glasses to see all the time, investing in good ones if at all in the budget is a good choice. I'm wearing a pair of glasses for 5-10 years 18 hours a day, so they are allowed to be a bit more pricey but well-fitting for that IMO. Admittedly though, if you change your glasses often (either because you're still growing or your eyesight is changing more quickly or for fashion-reasons), that is no longer true... ^_^ But maybe something to consider? Where I live, I can just walk into my optician's store and have them fix the fit of my glasses for free as often as I want to...

I'm sure Emmy can afford an optician if she so chooses. For being a longtime glasses wearer, Jemima, I'm surprised you haven't experienced glasses slipping when you sweat. That only happens to me in summer or tropical places and that's why I wear contacts part time.

@@cheshirecatgrin7680 I'm sure she does. She might just like the sponsorship or the fashionable frames or just the possibility to switch between different glasses according to occasion... ^_^ (Or maybe she just doesn't mind the slipping.) Well, I can attest that - appart from unfitted sunglasses - my glasses never slip - no matter how much I move or sweat. I wear only frames that have those little kidney-shaped see-through bits right at the nosebed and if they are porperly shaped frames and those bits are adjusted perfectly, they don't slip. (When I get new glasses, sometimes in the first few days it happens until I go back and get them adjusted). I tried contacts too, but I'm too lazy for those - it takes me to long to get them in and out (maybe more practice would have helped, but after a couple of months it still took me too long for my liking - just grabbing a pair of glasses is hard to beat time wise ^_~) and the hassle is not for me. But I suppose if you do a lot of sports it would be much preferable with contacts. Also: another great solution against slipping glasses - contacts really don't go anywhere once they're in. =)

they are called nosepads.@@Jemima1377

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

Sadly, Shirokiya closed roughly 2.5 yrs.+ ago. At last report, AMC owners were in litigation w/Shirokiya owners. Sooooo SAD, after 50+ yrs(?)....GONE the way of the dinosaurs & the dodo.....POOOF!

Sadly, we moved off Island in 2019 and it was open when bretman rock did his meet n greet (morphe grand opening).

@Michele Pasquarello sooo true. The one thing i truly missed from PA is Wawa and cheesesteaks but i missed home so i moved back. I used to work at Rosenbergers while there lol

Tippi B Don’t forget the complimentary side of Botulism!

If there is a Chinatown market place close to where y'all live you should inquire if they have li hing mui powder. Or of course order it from Amazon😀

Ahhhhgsfhaj Ali Hing Muiiiiiii

Hina kaulana ee

She needs a visit to Zippy's

Good ol American food! Yum 😋

Funny! That's what we had for lunch (2 years later).

Technically the cool ranch powder has cultured milk in it.

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

If you follow her on Facebook then you could have seen when she was in Hawaii in real time.

@@LeahLeah222 yeah, I don't.

Your lucky to have the hot dogs still. They used to be my favourite thing at 7-Eleven and then they stopped selling them here in Australia for food safety reasons. My favorite thing now is the traveller meat pies, slurpies and the Krispy Kreme's. I used to live close to a 7-Eleven but, not now.

Hawaii is in the US though....

@@nadesicond4018 yess I know!! I meant mainland. I aplogize.

I think she should try the 7-11 in Alaska. I'm really curious of this.

@@erdyantodwinugrohozheng You have a lot of the same immigrant influences as Hawaii, since Alaska is one of the first ports of entry from Asia. You may find some regional specialties like reindeer sausage or salmon jerky. Milk is hideously expensive, though.

Because We Can’t Have Nice Things [tm]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

I know, right?

It's because many Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Portuguese people migrated here to work on the plantation in the 1800s. And everyone sharing their culture with each other during this time brought all these great foods together along with it :)
