teasewich
(n.) -- A convenience store sandwich that looks like it is stuffed with fillings, from the outside view on the shelf, but once you open the plastic wrapping, the sad truth becomes evident that you've been had.
''I just hate it when I plunk down good cold cash for what I think is going to be a big tuna sandwich, but when I open the wrapping, it's just a teasewich, and there's hardly anything inside the bread! They just use the mouth of the sandwich as a come on!"
sandtease
(N.) -- When you buy a sandwich in a convenience store thinking that from the looks of the meat or fish or vegetable filling facing out to you on the shelf that it will be full of that filling all the way into the sandwich as well. But when you buy the sandwich and unwrap it, it's barely full of the filling at all, and in fact the outer edge is all you get; the inside of the sandwich was basically empty.
''I bought a tuna sandwich at 7-Eleven and there was only a small helping of actual tuna inside -- what a sandtease! It was a completely eye-catching piece of display sales fakery. I hate that!"
