Also this bit from The Simpsons
It’s good advertising. People see the funny billboard and snap a pic for social media.
“You will soon enter the state of Texas. Have you considered not doing that?”
With the u-turn it implies they are doing the right thing and leaving Texas.
Posting advertising today I see
this is what Americans call “just around the corner”
Just an average commute.
Bucc-ee’s is love, Bucc-ee’s is life. The curse is real. I passed one without stopping and 15 minutes later, a rock shattered my windshield.
That’s not cocky, you’re just in the middle of fuck-all nowhere. That Bucees’s was the last gas station and you missed it.
I’d never heard of Buc-ees, and now I see that’s because they’re only in Texas. The only time I’ve been there, besides in an airport for a layover, was in 2014 when I drove on the 40 through Amarillo. According to Google maps, there is a (closed) Bucc-ees on the 40, but it looks like it was built very recently as it isn’t there in 2023, the latest images on there.
Um, there’s way more than just Texas.
They’re also in AL, CO, FL, GA, KY, MO, SC, and TN
NC is having one built soon
Because America is so expansive the next Buc-ees in that direction is probably 800 miles away.
People are crazy for bucees. It’s a road trip staple. It wouldn’t surprise me if the idea behind this is to get people to reroute their road trips next time just to stop at bucees.
The barbecue is good, but that sauce is way too sweet. I need to try the burritos. Those fresh tortillas look 🔥
581 miles? You can still see a Buc-Ees in the rearview at that distance.
I see you’re a flat-earther
No, you just underestimate the size of a buc-ees.
Buc-ee’s would have to be 220,000ft tall to be able to see it from 580 miles away.
Not accounting for refraction.deleted by creator
Have you been to a Buc-Ees?
Hundreds of pumps. It’s a goddamned ocean of concrete and steel. You can use the main building as a shelter for a mid-sized town and have enough bathrooms. It’s a fucking department store serving as a gas station.
They’re goddamned massive.
Hundreds of pumps And no open ones because everyone parks and sits there while they go inside
Yeah, sadly, it seems no matter how ample the parking, people will still just take a pump.
I kinda get it, but at this point, we should all know better. Leave one person behind to pump and park, you’re going to be in the building for awhile just trying to get snacks and get checked out. I’ve never seen our local less than packed inside.
Are they 10 miles tall?
Maybe
god i love new york
Maybe by car it’s just around the corner, but walking it’s 581 miles.
“I would walk 581 miles, and I would walk 581 more” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Buc-ees is serious business though.
I randomly went to one a few weeks ago thinking it was just a truck stop. I was not prepared for that.
I’ve never been. What’s it all about?
It’s just unnecessarily huge. I’ve never seen so many gas pumps in my life. Or so many toilets. It’s honestly absurd and made me feel existential dread. It’s like everything wrong with America all in one convenient pit stop. I couldn’t even enjoy the wall of jerky. Bathrooms were nice, though.
Ever been to a walmart in a small town on saturday?
Where the only thing to do in town is go to the walmart…
Its that but with enough gas pumps to fuel the military
Wall Drugs Store, South Dakota
When my family went to see Mount Rushmore, I didn’t know what Wall Drugs was. That changed as soon as we hit the state line. Those guys must have more billboards than Alexander Shunnarah.
I think by the time you’re halfway though the state, you become slightly brainwashed hahaha
