Don't forget about Wawa and Sheetz, elevating gas stations in the treat category as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

No disrespect to Wawa or Sheetz, but they are mere ants before the gas station treat behemoth that is Buc-ee’s.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I appreciate that Wawa doesn’t mark up its treats as much as the other gas stations. Every time I go to a 7/11 or some other random stop I’m reminded of how bad gas station prices can be.

This is Royal Farms erasure

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought Royal Farms was from the south?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, Maryland is kinda the South.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is south of the Mason Dixon Line.

It's always been in a bit of a limbo. Baltimore had riots during the Civil War between pro-Confederates and pro-Unionists (most of the Unionists were German immigrants interestingly since they tended to lean more left at the time).

Baltimore: where the industrial decay of the North meets the casual racism of the South.

Northern Hospitality

I’ve never been randomly shouted at by store owners in DC?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When all the german immigrants showed up they knew how to make two things, bad chocolate and good pretzels. Which was all they needed.

Now imagining the alt history where the german immigrants of pennsylvania where from the north and you find Matjes Bites in every store

You'll take my Utz cheese balls from my cold dead hands

Which will probably be soon, considering I eat Utz cheese balls

I had to look it up....by god, treatlerism is out of control

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Okay look... They're actually pretty good, when you're drunk at least.

I really like Herr's Old Bay chips, cuz they use actual Old Bay, not the overly salty "Crab Mix" that fucking Utz uses!

Sorry can you tell I'm originally from the Baltimore area?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Herr's is good too

Love their jalapeño cheddar cheese puffs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

They make old bay cheese curls too.

Pennsylvania is so treat-pilled they have not one but two Hershey treat companies; Hershey creamery is an ice cream company out of Pennsylvania unrelated to the chocolate company (and yes, there’s been a bunch of lawsuits between the two).
