Walgreens Sandwich Dare
“I went to the new Walgreen’s in Times Square today and I noticed they have food there!!! I dare you to try a sandwich, or worse, a salad.”
After eating the terrible banana sushi at Bagelfeller on 48th (R.I.P.) I stupidly said I would eat anything in Midtown if dared by a reader. It’s what lead me to finally summon the courage to enter Tad’s Steaks… and it has clearly led to the email above from “Bionicgrrrl”.
Seriously? Walgreens? C’mon now. Really? I mean, it’s not even that I’m scared of eating a disgusting sandwich; it’s more a matter of being morally disgusted. Is there any getting out of this one?

mamacita, you are perverse! I was going to give him a pass on the mayo! That being said I’m not concerned about Zach. He survived Tad’s now he’s facing-down what millions of boys under 25 *survive* on: gross premade sandwiches from a questionable locale. Zach definitely has a stomach to match some strapping dumb college boy. Maybe the key here hasn’t been discussed: Beer. Zach you might need to eat this sandwich with a tall boy of silver bullet on the side.

Everyone’s posing, DocChuck – you with your two fake PhDs on the wall and supposed heterosexuality, the wife with her nude “Be Arthur” revue down at Rick’s cabaret, McBagel with his Prince Charles impression, me in this British schoolboy outfit (with the easy-access hole in the seat) that you dressed me in….etc etc.
Zach even claims to be fat!

it’s all good .. even “fit” girls like their men “chunky but funky”…
-
I don’t think it’s a challenge since that Walgreens is newly opened. I suggest waiting a year and THEN see who’s willing to eat those babies up for lunch.

I do have a white Fiat.
And i was in Paris that night, yes.

“One night”?

My dearest Cyn:
You could not be more right. My wife has even given my pannis a pet name.
-
You don’t have a pianist, darling.
Now – please pass me the catsup and marshmellow sauce, dear, before my chocolate chip pancakes from IHOP get cold

Neither Chucky nor his land whale of a wife-sister have seen their (matching) genitalia in years.
Corpulence runs in the DocChuck family, and it runs FAST
-
DocChuckles thinks his “wife” can talk! That’s kind of sad actually Taking care of a retarded great ape such as she must drive a person insane I guess.
-
Back on track – yeah, do it! It can’t be worse than a sandwich from 7-11 or your regular gas station food, right? That’s what it looks like *shrug*
-
What is “morally disgusting” about Walgreens? Seriously. It’s my preferred local drugstore (much better then the ubiquitous Duane Reade or the skeevy Rite Aids.)
Blondie: There’s a Walgreens smack dab in dead-center of Times Square. Can’t miss it. Look straight up and the New Year’s ball will drop on your head!
-
If you’re gonna do the Walgreens sandwich challenge, then you should really do a week-long compare-and-contrast with the 7-11 sandwiches and Dunkin Donuts “flatbread” sandwiches as well since they’re both only 2 blocks away from Walgreens.

Happy New Year!
I know this thread is OLD, but while Googling where Walgreens gets its sandwiches I came across this blog.
I don’t know about the Walgreens in NY, but those here in San Francisco actually aren’t half bad. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not great. But they’re right up there w/ 7-Eleven, if not a step above. Danny has the right idea, “everything tastes better toasted”. I bought one of the sandwiches that came on a roll and used our toaster oven. Added some brown mustard, a little cheese and I had a semi-gourmet sandwich. Hey, don’t judge. I was busy running errands on my lunch hour, so didn’t have time to grab anything. Since Walgreens is like Starbucks in that there’s one on every corner, going in to grab one of the sandwiches was just convenient. Try it if you dare.
I see McBeagle is still posing as British Royalty when in actual fact he delivers mattresses in Pittsburgh.
