If you're a fan of carbs on carbs, this Neapolitan roll from 7-11 right now definitely fits the bill in that regard. It consists of Neapolitan spaghetti sandwiched in a hot dog bun, so it's great if you're looking for a quick, on the go burst of energy! It's also a bit of fun if you like cute collaboration items, as this one pairs with Puppet Sunsun, a character who loves all things bread -- so I guess it feels like a pretty cohesive pairing as a result! The portion size is pretty decent, too, so no major complaints there.

As I mentioned above, this product leans heavily into the "carbs on carbs" territory, much like yakisoba-pan. That works great if you want a quick burst of energy, but it's not something that really leaves you feeling satiated for all that long. Also, price-wise it feels a bit steep for what it is, but I guess that's a sign of the times (and a sign of collaboration items always seeming to cost more). Overall, I'd say it works well as a tasty on-the-go snack item, but it is probably not something I would go out of my way to purchase again.
