Following the news two weeks ago that 7-Eleven had launched a brand new pinto lunch box, the company has had to retract the product due to a social media storm.

Netizens directed their anger at the damage which 7-Eleven's pinto might do to local street vendors who offer similar meals. ""You want to sell everything," wrote one commenter on Facebook. "The street vendors outside don't have to make a living right? Well, we'll see if people want to buy fresh food or your frozen stuff."

"Aren't you rich enough? Give someone else a chance," read another, along with "This is digusting. I'm banning 7-Eleven forever."

The 7-Eleven pintos offered three different dishes—grapao moo (stir-fried pork with basil), pla pad prik (stir-fried fish with chilli) and moo gratiem (stir-fried pork with garlic)—with the choice of combining each dish with with rice for a B55 set.

They were also only available at three branches: Sukhumvit Soi 33, Kluay Nam Thai Road., and Chonlada compound on Lat Krabang Road.

When we visited the Sukhumvit Soi 33 branch last night, however, there were no pintos to be seen. The cashier on duty told us that the product had been discontinued. "There was too much pressure from the social media reaction," she said, "so the line was canceled. They might come back with something similar soon, but for now there are no more pintos in any of the branches. You can still buy the microwave meals as usual though."

Other users have jokingly guessed what the convenience store will start selling next, including gluay tod, som tum, kanom krok and laundry machine services.

The news follows similar uproar caused on social media after the release of 7-Eleven's Japanese matcha ice cream, which people complained about since the product was only available in Bangkok.
