Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I eat conbini sandos all the time, chasing the high of a decent sandwich but only feeling their echoes as a couple of thin slices of ham whisper across my tongue.
I should just stick to rice balls
My fren really got into those sandwiches a while back. I don't get it. They are crazy expensive compared with the onigiris and other things and don't look that convincing to me. Maybe worth a try some day
They're shit. People here have no idea why tourists are obsessed with the 7/11 egg sandos.
I should say that as an American, I don't often have access to rice balls and they're just a bit too inconvenient to make myself. But also yeah, convenience store sandwiches are infamously mediocre here unless you go somewhere like sheetz or wawa (two Pennsylvania based convenience store chains notorious for actually having good food). I did find that breakfast sandwiches were fine before I became a pescatarian, but it's hard to screw up a frozen sausage and egg croissant.
The other big thing about Japanese conbis was that I didn't feel like I was getting absolutely cheated on price. Where I grew up you only eat at a convenience store because you're on the road and in a rush.
Wawa food quality has steadily gone down over the years, while the prices have skyrocketed.
