Wow. That story of having the Buc-ee’s blanket while you were in the hospital giving birth is awesome! They should make you guys official British ambassadors. Bringing the joy of Buc-ee’s to beautiful Jersey. Archie is sooooooo CUTE! I love his hair. Glad you guys enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see the try video.
I missed this story, was it Buc-ee's that sent them a blanket?
@@pddaawwgg Just a fan. Buc-ee’s should send them some blankets, though. That’s what we’re here for, too.
Bookies? 😂🤣
It’s Buck, like Duck or Truck or Muck or Suck, Ease.
Millie: "Why would you not go extra large?"
You are now an honorary American.
I'm waiting for Millie to say "We could buy another suitcase at WalMart!"
Why don't they, or a back pack? Bucky's is really cool. :)
Or ship it home by FedEx
LOL I was thinking much the same thing... or get a bigger suitcase.
You have to pay a fee (and a large one) for an extra case. Also for going overweight.
They uploaded a Walmart Video 12 days ago and I think they made that joke.
“I need to quit looking.” A sentence that goes through everybody’s head at Buc-ees. 😆
lol the trap starts when you walk through the door.
Place hands in pockets, it is quite cheap to look...
@@whomigazone, Ever gone to one? Most of the people there are there because they are travelling and need the pit stop. So, most folks aren’t at Buc-ees just to look around.
"I'm small, but I see everything." I want Millie on my team for a scavenger hunt! 😀
More props need to out to Mum (Grandma) being there to help with kiddo!!
I agree! Mum is a superstar! 😊
Your Buc-ees cart should always look unhinged like you gave a 6 year old $1000 and said get whatever you want.
I am American and went to my first Bucees 3 days ago and it was mass hysteria.
funny how they keeps sayin " ohh its soo cheap! " you should have seen it 3-4 years ago some things have doubled of more just even in the last 2 years
Other countries have had much higher inflation than we have.
@@mimikannisto4418 biden still sucks, unless you be on the wellsfare.
😂
@@mimikannisto4418 yep, gas in Canada is absolutely ridiculous
All Sleepy Joe's fault 😂❤😂Trump2024
You know the place is big when you need a GPS to find the front door
🤣
The man who started Buc-ee’s originally bought an old Texaco station in Gruene, Texas and built it from there. Buc-ee’s became famous in the 80’s and 90’s for having nice restrooms that were always clean which was not the norm for gas stations back then. He basically started the trend. He named the store for his brother who died at a young age.
I was going to add about the Restrooms as well… never mentioned or shown. The cleanest and nicest restrooms for a Convenience Store in the USA, hands down!
“James? James? Jaames!”😅😂🤣
It finally occurred to me that we hear her mike.
Millie loading that cup with ice like an American!
"When the card declines I can say no." LOL!
That’s my husband all day long!
Heinz is an American company. Headquarters: Pittsburgh, PA, Founded in 1869. The Brits are always confused by that because you get Heinz baked beans which is made in England, we can also get it in the US.
Took the words right out of my mouth lol. Brits always think Heinz is a UK company. They make beans and ketchup in the UK but they manufacture all of their US ketchup in the US. Common misconception.
💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
It's because Campbell's kicked Heinz butt in the soup category but Heinz got the contract to supply Europe during World War II. That's why Hines is over in England and it's been there ever since. But it is American company obviously.
They also think their Walker potato chips are British when they are actually American and owned by Lay's potato chips
@@artistnyc123 In 1886, Heinz Baked Beans were first sold at the Fortnum & Mason department store in London. The company opened its first UK factory in Peckham, south London, in 1905.
The absolute joy on y’all’s faces is so wholesome and heartwarming!
If you think you're going to have trouble fitting clothes and blankets in your luggage, stop by a walmart or such on the way out and get some vacuum storage bags. You don't necessarily even need the ones that require a vacuum, they make them that roll up or otherwise have a one way valve so fluffy things can be crammed down to solid form and save space.
I'm not sure if that would work going through Airport bag checking. If they decide that they need to open it up to search through the items, you won't be able to vacuum it back.
@@garysmith3037 That's why you get the bags that don't need an actual vacuum cleaner.
Great idea
I know Millie saw a can of beans and said "is this the British section" 😂😂😂 I'm dead
Also the "why would you not go XL?". This is our problem!!!! It just makes sense to get more and then we end up at 500 lbs 3 years from now.
The thing about recording in Buc-Ee's is that as long as you don't bug anyone, they really don't mind. They are a target destination for influencers, and by letting influencers and vloggers and all that quite literally give them free advertising and showing that they had a good time at the store, it's a win-win for everyone. Influencers/vloggers get content, Buc-Ee's gets some social rep and advertising :)
You're right. It's amazing when stores discourage free advertisement.
Millie's face when he said they could share the drink, lol. 🤣
In Texas, the home of Buc-ee's, we typically pronounce pecan as puh-KAHN, but with so many transplants we do hear PEE-CAN, PEE-kahn, and a few others. I Love your channel and enjoy all your videos!
If you go up to the meat counter you can get samples of ALL the different Jerky that's bagged on the wall, and all the different Ring Meats/Sausages, then go get a sample of all (or all you want to try) of the different Fudge squares flavors they sell, and the sandwiches counter will give you samples of the different meats they put on the sandwiches, Brisket, BBQ, Turkey, etc! You'll practically be full before you ever buy something to eat! LOL!
BTW, The sign outside is showing how much they pay per hour, and some by year, for each position at Buc-ee's. The lowest paying per hour is $18.
Mum's gone totally native, sporting the straw hat, looks great!
Lol, you miss the cleanest bathroom with no gaps😂😂
I love how excited Millie gets. Just so you know Archie is one of the cutest babies ever
Millie filled those cups up with ice like an American! Enjoyed this. Thank you! 😊
I'm American but never fill it full of ice......once it melts it makes the drink nasty.....unless it's tea 😂😂😂
@@bethshadid2087 You're drinking it too slowly.
@@ShannonR1969 right
Yeah I'll be honest y'all, Buc-ees never disappointed anyone
Oh my goodness he is ADORABLE!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Its recently been announced that Wisconsin will be getting its first Buc-ee's location. Somewhere around the Madison area with a tentative opening date sometime in 2025.
Arkansas is supposed to be getting its first soon, I think.
edit - in my town, not far from capital city of Little Rock
I know you returned already but next time you travel remember that you can collect your souvenirs and ship them back. You don't have to make room for everything in luggage. Ask a relative or friend if you can ship to them, take the address with you, go to a UPS store or FedEx, pack a box. And you'll have it there when you return.
And you should have had an ICEE.
Shipping to the UK is very expensive. I sent a 6 oz package to the UK and it cost me $12. The more it weighs the more it costs and once it gets there you most likely will be charged an import fee making it even more expensive.
James & Millie are (or were since they're back home) in an interesting position where they get sent stuff from another country, and then get to actually visit that country themselves and see this infamous store for the first time and say "We have that at home." It's a pretty cool experience coming full circle, I imagine.
Infamous?
17:58
a little trick when making a 'fountain' drink... when the foam reaches the top of the cup, touch it with your bare fingers. the natural oils on your skin will break apart the bubbles and they quickly disappear so that you can quickly fill it to the top.... just make sure that your hands aren't dirty...
Or just wait a few seconds...? Even if I just washed my hands really good, I still don't want them in my cup!
Ice is largely for road trips, camping, picnics, beach days, etc, for keeping food and drinks cold. That's a big reason why there are ice machines in hotels and big coolers of ice at convenience stores, gas stations, and roadside stops.
And is essential given how hot it gets in the US south during the summer, drinks get hot crazy fast in the heat.
watermelon Icee alone is worth the trip! 😂
James, no one says "PEEK-ins" except for Brits. LOL It's definitely said more like "puh-cons" in Texas. 🙂So glad you guys got to visit. Buc-ees is quite an experience. ❤❤
I cannot believe how quiet that Buc-ees is. Everyone I went to on my road trip down south last year was absolutely jam packed. I’m considering a road trip just to go to Buc-ees as the nearest one is over 600 miles from where I live, so I could plan to drive down south, shop at Buc-ees, stay overnight in a hotel and drive back North the next day. I’ve three weeks off this summer, it might be a good plan😂😂😂😂😂
Gigi is rocking that cowgirl hat! I love it!
I've been sooooooo wanting this! I'M SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS. Millie didn't look like she wanted to leave in that last video at breakfast.
Ha Ha! The classic, we have to go back in. Gotcha!
It's too funny watching Millie getting all excited about this that and the other thing. Glad too se two halving a good time.
You all have 198K subscribers!! People LOVE YOU (and for good reason - adorable family)!
Damn !! I love you guys. Been watching for a long time.. Some times I have a hard time understanding your accent.. But then again, I'm Texan. I live only fifteen miles from what will be the biggest Bucees ever. "Come and Take It". Come to Gonzales, Texas. Love y'all
I'm so glad you kids and James Mom had a great time here in America!!! Please come back and try to see some more of this big beautiful country!! Buccees is the best!!
Im going to my first Buc-ees next weekend in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy you guys are enjoying and having fun in our country! Geez, i remember subscribing when it was just James way before Mrs B ever made an appearance, let alone the announcement of baby B was even on the way!😂 Such a journey we've been on, and wishing you all the best!👍
I've been told by several different Grandma's from the South and Pacific North West, that Pe-KAHN is the nut, and Pe-CAN is the pie. "I'm going to the store to buy some Pe-KAHN's so I can make a Pecan Pie"
In Texas, it's Puh-con and only Puh-con.
The Brits aren't the only ones with crazy rules.
But really if you say either pe-CANN or pe-KAHN everyone will know what you mean.
If you say PEAK-in nobody will have a clue unless you're pointing right at the bag.
I say Peh-CAHN for all forms.
Those grannies are wrong.
The reason for why so many ice freezers is that Buc-ees are located on major thoroughfares, which in turn are located in states that get very warm. Because of this, one Buc-ees can go sell over 1k bags of ice in one day. Or to put it another way - they get a huge amount of traffic, and they want to be prepared.
Lol one thing I don't think yall think about is. Americans do a ton of camping a BBQ. So the solo cups and other BBQ supplies are for rv and camp parks supplies for people. Everything in one spot. My family like to camp on vacay. It's cheaper than hotels.
Yep. Huge camping, road tripping, and RVing culture here.
in the usa there's almost no laws against filming in public as the high courts ruled there is no expectation of privacy in public
But that is in public. When you're in a private establishment they get to decide on the rules. Some places are fine as long as you don't make everyone feel super uncomfortable, but other places are more strict. I think the fact that they didn't get up in everyone's faces or were obnoxious is the reason nobody bothered them.
When Millie whisper shouts you over to her you already know it’s not fitting in the suitcase haha
In the middle of the desert halfway between California and Vegas there's an "Eddie World". Texan tourists visiting California (where I live) said it was essentially an imitation Buc-ee's. I'd never heard of Buc-ee's but the Texans explained that it was quite an institution in their State.
Twice a year we drive from MD to Florida. My wife wants to stop at buc-ees everytime snd i cringe. Only because its usually a madhouse in there!!! The place is absolutely bunkers. Glad you guys enjoyed your visit.
I always find these videos hilarious because as someone from Texas I only stop at Buc-ee's for cheap gas or use the clean restrooms 😂
Buy whatever you want. Just ship everything home. Problem solved.
I was thinking that all through the video.😂
I think they mentioned before that it can be really expensive for them to do that.
@@garysmith3037 It's not that bad. I always ship everything home for myself when I travel. I've done it in England, and I think a rather large box got to me in about a week and cost around $25.
@@garysmith3037 they probably thought shipping things from the us was expensive. It’s only expensive if you use express and whatnot. Regular shipping is not expensive
Millie, you are precious! You showed your excitement so cute! I had a smile on my face the whole video! Thanks for sharing this!
Yep she looks good with those sandals too.
Millie loaded those Cups up with ice, i see since they are so new to the Iced drink idea, Maybe she doesnt know that the more ice you use the less product you get...you then just buy filtered tap water. Lol
I use a lot of ice, because if I'm going to drink a cold drink I want it COLD. Nothing worse than a lukewarm soft drink.
Ice from a store like this would be for filling a cooler usually, so you can keep food cold on a trip.
I’m so glad you guys are having fun! Cheers!
I've been to that exact Buc-ee's on trips to Bastrop. Archie is super cute. My youngest son is 8 months now. They are so wonderful at that age. I'm glad that you had a great time!
The powdered ranch packets would be great to take home. Much less weight. You can mix it up yourself later.
Looks like You are going to have to make a few trips to America. LOL Archie is growing up right before all of our eyes. He's a good baby ❤
Like kids in a candy store...literally! Y'all are too cute! LOL
17:11 and you say we like ice! LOL I hold that lever for about 1 second. Only need a few cubes.
Oh, and love Archies top gun shirt
You're excitement in the "sweets" or candy section is adorable!
In Texas it's "puh-KAHN" or "pick-AHN". My parents were from Oklahoma and I learned to say it somewhat between those two pronunciations. But yeah, Buc-ee's is pretty awesome. I live within 30 minutes of two of them in Florida.
It could be pee-can too!
@@marciewright9670 If you're from the East.😁
I have white cheddar popcorn at least once a week.
Ice was the biggest culture shock when I travelled overseas. I have to have ice (preferably lots of ice) in my drinks and I'd go in a restaurant and they'd serve drinks without ice unless you asked. That and Sparkling Water being the default in some places rather than still.
What a sweet, sweet baby boy.
I’m enjoying the videos of your trip here so much. I see y’all are kindred spirits. I recently visited Buck-ees for the first time a few months ago myself and I was just as blown away. What caught my attention most was how the sandy guy would shout “HO!” And the whole staff would break out in song about somebody’s sandwich.
SO glad you had fun in America. Welcome back any time!!
I’m so glad to see you having so much fun! I love how you guys are embracing these new experiences. Now you know next time to either bring an empty suitcase to fill or buy an inexpensive one from Marshall’s or T.J. Maxx when you get here to bring home all the awesome loot you discover.
Millie looked like she was having so much fun zooming from one thing to another. I Love Love Love the caramel puffed thingy's but we don't have a Buc-ees in Oklahoma. My brother lived in Austin but he always forgets to bring me some.....I'll get even one day. Good to see you guys having fun.
I would just freight ship a box home on an experience like this. Or just pay the extra bag on the flight.
So touching bucees brought you such comfort during your son's birth
Best Buc-ees reaction video of them all! Thank you for showing the entire store; nobody else has done so. - I could watch an entire video of Archie, precious, cute, adorable. James’ mother is indispensable and incredible. I hope she had a wonderful vacation with you in the US.
I'm American and haven't been to Buccees yet. We will visit our first one in Florida in a couple weeks. I enjoy your reactions to our wonderful country!
My goodness, I sure hope all of the things you've purchased on this trip to take back home with you will fit into your luggage, because it would cost you a small fortune to ship it. We're glad you all are having such a great trip!
illuminous green? That's different. Florescent green is the term used in the US.
Luminous is also used here.
@@dgpatter not in reference to colors. We generally say "bright" green or bright yellow.
@@dgpatter I know that, but he said illuminous, and that is considered an obsolete word. Plus luminous would not be used with colors.
I usually say "neon" for those types of colors.
Ha! I thought it was the Bastrop one, and it was. Stop there every time I drive to Houston, and I always get a Melt, and chocolate espresso beans.
So sweet seeing you all so excited. Our son, who lives in Austin, took us to this same Buccees a year & a half ago. (our first Buccees visit) Blew our minds as to the size of it and all the stuff and food - he warned us! Loved Texas. Glad you all had such a great experience!
In the US the red solo cup is synonymous with drinking alcohol, country music, and anything else country style. Of course they're used everywhere, they were just made famous in a country music song.
You all have a beautiful family
I went to Buc-ees for the first time on my 35th birthday the other day. It was pouring down rain. People were inside waiting on the rain to stop, it was coming down so hard
Don’t take bottles of ranch go into any food store and get Hidden Valley Ranch powder in packets and make it at home takes up no space
LOL! Yes, we have Heinz ketchup. I find that a lot of Brits are surprised to see we have Heinz ketchup in the United States. They often don't know that Heinz is an American company. Although I know the Beesleys, in particular, know it's American from past videos. 🙂
I know right. Lol Actually a lot of British food products originate in the US. So funny how they think so American products are British.
ketchup.
@@Meg0307 Yep! I remember a video some Brits did calling it "UK cereals vs. American cereals." They said all of the American cereals were too sweet and tasted fake, while the UK cereals had less sugar and tasted more healthy. They were comparing American cereals to American cereals. Those fools didn't know. Imagine us Americans dying laughing in the comments. They even said Corn Flakes was a UK cereal and way more popular in the UK. That really set us off into gut busting laughter! The Brits didn't find it funny at all. 🤣😅😅😂🤣
@@marydavis5234 Stupid auto-correct on my phone. LOL! I didn't even catch that. 🙃
@@ladiuneeq9789 Yeah, a lot of things the Brits think are British were actually developed in the U.S. first. I get that the U.K. invented a lot of things. But often, folks there think they invented everything.
For example, the tea bag that Brits love was invented where I live here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It became popular here first before catching on in the U.K. It is the Same with baked beans.
If you have too much to fit into your luggage remember you can ship things to yourself to receive after you return. Just take most everything to a UPS store & they'll put it safely in a box & when you get home so does whatever you shipped out. UPS is very reliable.
I love their cotton candy breath mints. I bought an entire box of the tins, lol!
The Bees' are great. Been following them for 5+ years. They've made their videos much cleaner over the years. Great job guys. Hope you both had fun here in the US.
You two are so fun to watch. I love your videos.
Most Europeans think it is odd how Americans don’t think anything about making an hour drive to go to one place. They kept doing that without hesitation on this holiday.
I’ve never seen a Buc-ees with so few people. That place is dead.
They’re in Texas. We have like a million Buc-ees. There’s like 3 in their area.
Gas??! When did it become gas and not Petrol?? Where has my old butt been?!? LOL, Love you 3, really!! Welcome to what’s left of our good ol’ U.S.A.! Love y’all again!!
17:15 You can use only one hand when you get to be pros at it.
Don't worry so much about filming people. They will let you know if they don't like to be filmed. Most people will just think you are silly walking around with that. Just don't be offended if someone says not to film them. It is okay. They are not necessarily mad, they just don't want to be filmed.
Candy floss is cotton candy.
Soooo glad y’all made it to Texas & BUCEE’S 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SO MUCH FUN shopping at Buc-ees through your eyes! Better than television.
I loved ❤ this episode. Glad you had a good experience in the 🇺🇸 at Buckees.
I worked at Seattle Shirt Company souvenir shop and a Grand Canyon souvenir shop.. I never wanna see a magnet, keychain or T-shirt ever again!
The only time I ever ran into a British person here in Alabama, they were a cashier at Bucc-ee's! Was surreal to actually talk to them and how they ended up here haha.
Next time you come and visit make yourselves a shipping box of all the items you want to try when you get back home.
