Our thoughts: It's a hot dog, a bag of chips and a soda. It's a self-explanatory meal that's easy to scarf down in less than 10 minutes; ideal for those who have a tight class schedule. The chips were crunchy, the soda was carbonated and the hot dog was fresh off the rotating grill. The meal itself might be considered more of a snack, depending on your current appetite. It might not be the healthy route, but it sure fits a tighter college budget.
