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

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 2 points 9 hours ago

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

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

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

I thought Royal Farms was from the south?

Well, Maryland is kinda the South.

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

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.

Washington D.C.: Southern Efficiency and Northern Hospitality (ascribed to JFK)

Northern Hospitality

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

[-] robotElder2@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

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

And ice cream apparently

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

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

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

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

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?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Herr's is good too

Love their jalapeño cheddar cheese puffs

They make old bay cheese curls too.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

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).

[-] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Don't forget about Philly Cheesesteaks and Amish Fried Chicken.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Philly soft pretzels, Primanti Bros, scrapple…

Oh I forgot about Dietz and Watson

Begs the question: what was the most Snackoyanist oblast in the Soviet Union?

[-] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

It's called The Snack Belt

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Well yeah it is the treat ooze that created Fetterman

Baby nut is the future of the democratic party.

I will not take any questions

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Baby Nut

I had to google. I never even heard of that. I never see ads.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Jury is still out, he's too young.

Tastykake sounds like a porno category.
