don't even know, but wawa is named after a place in PA.

also wawa used to sell meatloaf.

The chain's name comes from the site of the company's first milk plant and corporate headquarters in Wawa, Pennsylvania.
The name of the town Wawa is derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada Goose (taken from "The Song of Hiawatha").

PA alcohol laws are nuts. Corbett won't reform because he says it will take jobs away. Uummmmm, pretty sure all those cashiers who know jack poo poo about the product they're selling will get just as good jobs at mcdonalds. Problem solved.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is a "legal" monopoly in PA that is run by lawyers. Like a lawyer is going to dump a cushy job like that.

Sheetz has a better beverage and snack selection. Wawa makes better sandwiches, especially with the new baked in store rolls.

It is a toss up.

My entire life the clear answer was Sheetz. I felt I'd go to my grave with that notion, but they stopped carrying horseradish as a condiment and so Wawa won my heart, purely out of spite.

It's Wawa even though their hoagies suck with the "store baked" rolls.

Also the state owned monopoly on liquor sales in PA allows you to buy Pappy Van Winkle at normal retail price, and not some hopped up black market poo poo.

back in the day, my best buddy and i used to get high as hell in delaware and walk down some train tracks to the local wawa for our munchies

What the gently caress is this Midwestern flyover state garbage. Bucees 4 lyfe.

These things only exist on the East Coast :confused:

Midwest does not even seem to have the "gas station/fast food" concept in any form unless you count the fact that most 7/11s where I am from are also gas stations. But compared to the perfect glory of Wawa and Sheetz, 7/11 is a crumb of moldy bread.

(I would give Wawa the edge just for fee-free ATMs)

I wish we had Sheetz in upstate New York. We have tons of loving Stewarts everywhere and they suck balls!

1. Unless it's a Stewart's brand it's loving expensive. No fountain sodas either.

2. Parking lots are mini-destruction derby zones - seriously, oddest angles and shapes that tend to be crowded.

3. Crowded with old fucks who want 30 different scratch off tickets. What the gently caress? You hoping to win $500 for your upcoming tombstone?

4. Do it yourself hot dogs in some sort of Rube Goldberg contraption.

5. Milk club card which is only valid at one particular store location.

6. Don't even bother with gas..not worth the effort. Go to Sunoco or Hess down the road.

7. Sandwiches, wraps, pizza and other foods are substandard at best.

8. Locals seem to love the ice cream...it's poo poo. Even Breyers is better. Even worse, you're trying to check out, but the sole clerk is busying scooping out cones for a fatty.

9. You want a seat and eat there? Not going to happen - old fucks have snagged them all to drink coffee and hope their scratch-offs will pay for junior's bail.

I wish we had a Sheetz in New York. Cumberland Farms is best as it gets.

really? the sheetz near me has the shittiest drink selection. the only thing it has going for it is the straight up insane levels of bakery stuff and it's beer cave.

Thanksgiving sandwiches generally are an idea that must spread nationwide/worldwide as soon as possible. Until I lived in Delaware I had never even heard of them. I hate stuffing but I LOVE THE TURKEY GOBBLER

I live in a MAGICAL part of the state where Wawa and Sheetz peacefully coexist across the road from each other. I can go to Wawa for coffee and Sheetz for MTOs - is there any other way to live?

Also, my local Weis carries beer...

The important part is that I am remembering there being mashed potatoes on there because it is SO GOOD THAT THERE MUST BE. And I know there ARE mashed potatoes on some versions, even if I do not remember Wawa's. Basically I order it instantly anytime I am on a road trip and see it on any menu anywhere because IT WILL BE GOOD.

There's some Wawa's in Florida these days. I live on the other side of Tampa Bay and have two of them inside of two miles.

Soft pretzels are the ultimate in long haul snacks. Also love the breakfasts there, ain't got to wait for poo poo and somehow their bagel sandwich on a warming tray is less soggy than Burger King's have ever been.

Yeah, there's one by me and I pop in a couple times a week. Good meatball subs, good breakfast sandwiches, awesome soda fountain where I can add vanilla, cherry or whatever to stuff.

I'd still rather have Sheetz, but WaWa isn't bad

YOU A FUCKING HAT: Jun 7, 1979; I CAN'T BE STOPPED OR REASONED WITH

I used to live next to the very first Wawa store ever, in Ridley. They are closing it down. :smith:

To replace it with an even bigger one. :hfive:

Wawa is the poo poo and no doubt. Nothing will stop my endless love for their turkey bowl. I also like their wraps and the chicken sammidges. If you live in Philly and you don't like Wawa, well then I dunno what to tell you son, except that you have fantastically wrong opinions.

Ever since Wawa started to bake their rolls in store they have declined in quality. They are often undercooked and doughy inside. Amorrosos rolls better
