I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Anyone calling Buc-ee's a truck stop is a loving idiot because you can't go there with a truck. Real truck stops somehow are worse, the only chain that's even halfway decent is Loves and that's cause you get free showers in fairly clean rooms when you fill up your truck.

They have hot cinnamon glazed pecans, almonds, and cashews available 24-7. They have like 40 kinds of soda just on tap, and 10 kinds of slush/slurpee. They have 20 kinds of jerky, and 14 kinds of fudge, and banana pudding, and and and...

I'm from Pennsylvania and live in California and they're basically the only reason I'd drive through Texas, except that Oklahoma is worse.

There's one about 5 miles from me in houston. Also there's one right between san antonio and houston that I've been to.

it's the walmart of truckstops, the food is decent for a truck stop/gas station...beyond that it's pointless. but people have cultized it due to strong marketing and the edgelord "beaver" jokes.

Texas is big. There are plenty of people who often drive between cities that are far enough apart that a stop on the way is nice. Never having to wait for a pump, clean bathrooms, and food that's a bit better than bottom of the barrel is enough reason to go a few extra miles to one gas station instead of another.

What in the hell? How'd GWS get in here? Make your own BBQ you bums and stop being critiques of something seemingly no one here knows anything about.

Wawa may serve bad food, but I live in new England and they're an absolute treat when compared to Cumberland Farms. On my way south my gas stops are planned around Wawa locations. Honestly I care more about clean bathrooms, but finding a salad on the road is always a treat.

Gas stations conveniently keep their tanks underground, so it would just be a minor earthquake.

The only chain convenience store around here with decent food is Royal Farms, and that's because they pick one thing, fried chicken, and do it well.

Gonna have to disagree. Wawa hoags are great. Are there better? Absolutely. But not from a gas station with a sub 10 minute wait. Might have been a PA thing but almost every convenience store used to have a small deli counter up till about the early oughts. Just your standard selection of lunch meats and cheeses.

That’s the truth about Royal Farms though. Their chicken is godly. There’s one 5 minutes from my house. I drive past it every day. If I had even a tiny bit less self control I’d be 400lbs by now.

You put oil and vinegar on some kinds of hoagies, yes. Also there are hoagie toppings that come pickled in vinegar, like sweet peppers and hot peppers.

Oil and vinegar is a pretty standard sandwich dressing, yeah. Also Wawa’s fine, basically just a less cheap tasting Subway. They stopped having fresh mozzarella as an option for sandwiches though and it makes me sad that it was apparently just a limited time thing. :smith:

Founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin opened his first store as partners in Clute, Texas in 1982 (it is still open). Aplin formed the name Buc-ee's by combining his childhood nickname; the name of his Labrador Retriever, Buck; as well as the appeal of Ipana toothpaste's animated mascot, Bucky the beaver.[6][7]

No one has talked about Quik-Chek from New Jersey yet so let me chime in that (at least when I lived there like 15 years ago) they had the best footlong subs for $5 and you could get them 24/7 and one was literally next door to my buddy's house where we would play smash bros out of the back of his jeep cherokee and get high.

There is no such thing as a good convenience store in this hellhole that is California tho
