This was posted 1364 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Put your email address in, they send you a voucher, print it off and go to your nearest 7 11 to receive your free pie.
EDIT: Deal Expired!
http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html is perfect for these things
Huh?! Don't you just patiently delete all the spammy emails from your inbox, one by one, like everybody else? ;P
Thanks for posting this and you can share it in the forums. There are actually quite a few of those once-off email addresses, but many established one are already blocked by a lot of software.
Earlier this year, there was a free slurpee offer with 7-eleven (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/2891)which required a voucher and it appears from the comments there that it's a new technology (the barcodes), so maybe it's still not working at some 7-eleven stores?
Working, but very slow. :)
I used the 10 min mail. Very nice :)
First I went to 7-11munch and got a blank screen.
Refreshed and got the offer.
I put in my 10 min mail address.
Maybe 2-5 mins later, 7-11munch said the offer had been mailed to me.
2 mins later it arrived in the 10 min mail.
I saved the page as an HTML file to print out later.:)

Just had the chicken pie. Just like the free Slurpee deal, the operator was utterly confused. Don't understand why these people can't read the instructions on the page. After typing up a novel on the register, the voucher clicked through.
They only had the chicken available so chicken it was. The first thing I noticed was the expiry date, "Best before Jan 21 2010". So I would say these things could sit in a 7/11 for a long time before they go off. Quickly glancing at the ingredients, there is only actually 23% chicken inside.
Taste was OK, mostly pastry but there were big chunks of "chicken". Good for a free meal but I wouldn't go out and buy one.
I don't think lamb mutton is what you have to worry about.
Some interesting ingredients:
acidity regulator (331), flour treatment agent (920), anti-cooking agent (554), flavour enhancer (621), flavour, vegetable gum (412,415),emulsifier (471,481,soy lecithin),maltodextrin, colour (160a,160b)
Flavour Enhancer 621 is another name for MSG
Monosodium Glutamate, MSG, 621
It used to be called the 'Chinese Food Syndrome' and for a time, everyone took great care not to eat too much MSG. Now it has become big business and the problems are spreading too. The problem is almost the same as for aspartame - both cause the death of brain ceils.MSG 621 is a sodium salt of the amino acid known as glutamic acid. It is manufactured by a fermenting process using starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses. Hydrolysed proteins are also glutamates. They are acid-treated or enzyme-treated proteins and contain salts of free amino acids such as glutamate. Hydrolysed proteins are frequently added to processed foods. Glutamates also occur naturally in foods; however, MSG (glutamate) reactions are usually due to processed, "free" glutamates.
Common reactions to MSG
Headaches, migraines, stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma attacks, shortness of breath, anxiety or panic attacks, heart palpitations, partial paralysis, "heart attack-like symptoms," balance difficulties, mental confusion, mood swings, neurological disorders (Parkinson's, MS, ALS, Alzheimer's), behavioural disorders (especially In children and teens), allergy-type symptoms, skin rashes, runny nose, bags under the eyes, flushing, mouth lesions, depression, and more.At www.truthinlabeling.org you can find more information about MSG and other glutamates. According to the Truth In Labelling Campaign, MSG reactions can be immediate or occur as late as 48 hours after ingestion.
like the sausage ingredients that Jamie Oliver showed on the "eat to save your life" tv show. Basically to cut production cost, they have to reduce the meat content. If the meat content is reduced, then to keep up with the textures, taste and longer shelf life, hence, all wonderful chemicals and additives to complement.
so there you go :)
unitedbythemoment on 28/08/2008 - 16:14 ¶I dont think the deal is finished. I just got a voucher sent to me, about 5 seconds ago.
Is a good deal - I got a free one - but the pies are really as you'd expect from a 24hr convenience place - pretty woeful, luke warm (can heat in a microwave there if you want to butcher further), way too much pastry, terrible quality meat & fillings.
So good deal - but yuck pie.

Awesome!
