    I have no idea how this video will perform. It was definitely experimental on my part, but I'm happy I did it! I learned a lot, and hopefully, you do too after watching. Rest assured I'm not ditching my typical topics or style but as I mentioned before I want to blend internet culture and social science. I hope you all enjoy.

    Man, Sheetz has little place in my heart, had the most satisfying meal ever there.
    For context, I am from the UK. I was in the US to work as a camp councillor for a few months. Because I was the only councillor with any boating experience, I was made to be a staff member on a 9 day canoe trip, travelling around 67 miles.
    Imagine that you had just been on that canoe trip. All you had eaten for 9 days was entirely from tins or packets, cooked over a campfire with bare minimum portions. Then, you finally end your trip, and the car journey home starts. Then, in the distance, the red gates of heaven open as you pull into this goddamn gas station of the gods. I considered applying for American citizenship as I ordered a burrito the size of my forearm and a $1.29 extra large lemonade larger than my head. Our entire group sat in complete silence as we all decimated our meals and watched some shitty Hallmark movie on the TV, which was the only time the entire group was silent considering it consisted of a bunch of 13 year old teenage girls. That meal, whilst definitely not anything fancy, felt like the last supper to me. God bless Sheetz and American lemonade 🫡

    If you visit Wisconsin, the number one gas station is Kwik Trip. It has its own cult. It's called Kwik Star in Minnesota (and I think Illinois). They're slowly expanding.

    Meanwhile I spent nearly a year once spending about $35-50 a week on food for a week at Walmart. For example you can buy a weeks worth of ramen for $5 and and a pack of 8 hot dogs for $2,. Combine that with the free bread I got from donations, I was able to even splurge and buy some more expensive frozen food. Like chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and the breakfast burritos. I lost 20 lbs over that year which admittedly was bad for me since I was under weight to begin with, but it saved my life. If anybody is curious, two more examples was you can buy a pack of 4 Chef Boyardee for about $5, and boxes of off brand kraft for $1 each that by the way come with 2 servings. I also was paying for all the food living with my now ex.

      It would actually be more affordable and healthier to just cook your own food rather than getting canned, frozen and prepackaged foods. DollarTreeDinners and FrugalFitMom are good TH-camrs to watch.

    as a sheetz freak, i love it because i have allergies and you can customize EXACTLY what you want on anything with the kiosk. in addition, the website is extremely easy in regards to ingredients lists. you can input your allergies and select an item and it will tell you whether that item has the allergen and if you can order it without your allergens.

    There is a level of genius in the sale of food at a gas station because the customers have a naturally low bar set for the expected quality of the food. If the food is received as being decent for a gas station it will sell.
