Because America is so expansive the next Buc-ees in that direction is probably 800 miles away.

The barbecue is good, but that sauce is way too sweet. I need to try the burritos. Those fresh tortillas look π₯
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.
Posting advertising today I see
Itβs 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.
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
They're spreading to states near Texas. Like a cancer that is, admittedly, nicer than most rest stops but is still just some fucking brand that reminds you the average person is a programmed chimp for making any kind of deal out of them.
I looked up some pictures of them and they are admittedly a spectacle, unmistakably American.
My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they're overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don't want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.
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.
this is what Americans call "just around the corner"
Just an average commute.
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.
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
Those beaver nuggets are the real deal.
