When I was a kid we traveled a lot. I'd be asleep in the back but always seemed to wake up right before we got to Stuckey's. Loved the copper and turquoise jewelry as well as the cedar boxes. 😸
I'm fortunate enough to have been to all 50 states! It was my passion and a life-time goal, it just did not happen. My last state was DE. I was so excited and sometimes got overwhelmed w/emotion when I entered a new state. What a beautiful country we have. I love Stuckey's and have never been to Buc-ees, but, want to go!
The EUM RULE!!! Jacob, dude, you are without a shadow of a doubt, the MUSEUM KING!!!!
Good Evening Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽
That little wooden box, according to SNL, "You can put your weed in there!"
The most significant difference is that a palm tree is generally much larger than a palmetto. Some species of palms, like the Royal Palm, can grow 80 to 100 feet tall. A palmetto, on the other hand, will generally only reach 30 to 60 feet. The Sabal Palmetto is one of the taller palmettos available.
The sabal palmetto is also the state tree of Florida, not just South Carolina.
And palm tree s have cock roaches
Palmettos are palms. There is no such thing as a "palm tree"
I don't like the bugs that come with them 😅
I am so jealous of Jen. Loving the bucee straw. 😂😂Super cool.
Looking good in your new hat , liked the old one but the new one looks good.
I'm team Necco Wafer. That looks like a jewelry box to me. Keep up the good work. 😊
Oh my gosh my family had and used those bingo games. My brother and I would play them over and over again until the little slide windows fell out. Man the memories. 😁
Loving the hat!!!!!. P.S use the box or a box like it for your pressed pennys so you dont keep losing them!!!. And you actually have met Bucee how cool XXX
The oldest continuously operating candy company in the United States is the New England Confectionary Company (Necco)... and Necco is pronounced NEK-o (not knee-co) ❤
Yes you are correct. I knew that right when he said it wrong.
They were, they went defunct in 2018. The wafers are being done now by Spangler.
Y u drive to Florida just to drive back to NY. U should of stayed in Georgia y u never do the history of African Americans n their journey from slaves to freedom
I love that candy, but haven't eaten it in years.
Unfortunately, NECCO wafers are now Hecho En Mexico 🇲🇽😢
As the brother of a former auto mechanic ( ASE certified!), The physical toll on those guys is REAL. That's a job u do for passion. They even have to pay for own tools oftentimes and that's not cheap .
You guys are too cute! Love seeing you guys together in videos! 😁
Good, I'm glad those butts at the car shop got yelled at. That's absolutely ridiculous. I love how excited you got to meet Bucee Lol I hope Michigan gets a Bucees one day but who knows with that one. You guys be safe! Love the Bucee straw lol
I don't know why but I'm afraid the other shoe is going to drop and someone, whether it's the insurance or the repair shop, is going to try to hit Jacob up for some of the rental fees for the temporary car. I'm afraid they'll try to say that Jacob has to pay because he went over the allotted number of miles or something. Don't let them do it, Jacob!
Hi Jacob and Jenn ❣️ Have a great time on the trip home ❤️
Omg Blenheim, the absolute best ginger ale on the face of the earth. If you have a stuffy nose or congestion, take a swig of that stuff. You'll be cleared up in no time. I can't wait to see your reaction to it, Jacob
Awesome road trip
You mentioned young people wearing ponchos, like those in that Stuckey's shop, when you were in high school. My best friend, in high school, wore ponchos similar to those back in the early 90s.
Another nice time spent with JACOB
🌺💗🌺💗🌺💗🌺💗🌺💗🌺💗
Loved this video, it was great! You look so happy with Jen, ❤️! I received my first postcard, it’s on my fridge!
Be safe out there Jacob keep up the amazing love your videos and it makes my day seeing your videos.
Kwik Trips in Wisconsin are awesome!
Great memories of driving to myrtle beach from Canada in the summer and stopping at South of the boarder especially watching the road signs as you got closer. Hi Jenn!!! Love to see you in the videos you are so special and happy! Take care of Jacob's heart for us ok
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Necco wafers!
South Carolina = Smiling Faces & Beautiful Faces 😊
The "Box" Memories of My Beloved Partner ♥️ 😟Pasted away last year..
Love Stuckeys and Bucees. Great stores.
That ending. ...🤣 so good.
When I growing up it was always a big thrill to go to Stuckey's and as a bonus ours had a Dairy Queen🍦
The Bleneim Ginger-Ale is actually pronounced "Bleh-nuhm" as opposed to "Blen-Hime". It used to be manufactured at the Blenheim Bottling Company in Bleneim, SC and was acquired in 1993 by the Schafer family who also owns South of the Border. It's now bottled and manufactured at a new plant at South of the Border near the Camp Pedro RV Park.
Big Bear Mountain 😊
I have been to South of the Border, I am a fan of it
I Love southwest culture
Wait, there's a Stuckey's somewhere? I remember when these things popped up everywhere, and then quickly disappeared. Jen's a thirsty beaver!
A Big Tank Needs alot of Fuel 😅😅😅
I like your new hat! It looks like you Maybe wear the other for special occasions 😂🎉
Jenn and Jacob,I recently found out how to tell the difference between alligator and a crocodile,I works everytime, An alligator will see you later, when a crocodile will see you in a while.🐊
You were right in my neck of the woods, I live live 35 minutes from Buc-exes. Stay safe .
Now that the shop is paying for your rental, you should probably have it back my Monday
For sure!!!
Exactly. They’re just dragging their feet see how fast it’s done if they have to pay for it dealers hate having to pay out for anything.
Can you imagine how old the first live oak is 😮. Bucc-ees seems like a vacation destination…that’s genius
Love roadside attractions and unique fun truck stops. I am so excited they broke ground for a new Buckees just south of Wichita on the turnpike by Wellington. Just very close to the Ks Okl state line, I can't wait!!! There used to be a place that had the shape of a church, but it had a tall red roof, white walls, and black bricks 1/2 way down. Inside, they had a huge gift store, then a restaurant. Oh, in front of the building, there was a huge beehive where you could watch thousands of bees it was amazing, almost hypnotic.
They may have had gas pumps, maybe . I know they were around in the 70s and early 80s . My dad would drive us from Ks to Orlando, to Anaheim, down to Texas, and to Missouri and Iowa. I was born and raised in South Central Ks. So if anyone remembers these places, let me know. Keep up the great job there Sherriff of South of the Boarder !!😅
Stuckey’s Bucc ees and South of the Border, man your living large, yum! Love lighthouses. Bucc ees is big in Texas where they started
great vlog really enjoy stopping at these places, maybe we will see you at Sevierville Bucees we are locals
I dig the new hat, Jacob 🎩
I have the cremains of my cat in a box like that
Rolling papers an a dime of the green stuff 😅
Another great video. We are loving the new hat, Jacob! It suits you so well. Very nice! Just had to pop on here to say that after watching a few videos in which we both remarked how nice it is.
Me and my other half Paula were on our way to go to the Gone with the Wind place outside Atlanta (RIP PAULA) and got turned around in Atlanta. We said screw it, headed to S.C. and came across this place. Toured it so cool! Bucc-ees never been. South of the Border never been but my brother made a beer run there once. About 70 -80 miles North of Florence on 77.
1 last comment! It was nice to see Jen and hear her. She`s cute! I`m used to seeing you by yourself. Keep it up! Nothing negative from me. I enjoy these.
I love the Nico Candy 🍬 cool gift shops :) oh the little crazy shark is cute xD
Kenly truck stop is about 30 minutes from my house and like to run over sometimes to see what's new! I remember when i was a teenager we would go out to lucama and see all the worli gigs! There was an urban legend about that place! It was called acid park! The new location in wilson with everything moved and restored is really cool also! He was very creative! There is a museum there based on him and his creations across the street in downtown wilson!
Hi Jacob. Great videos. The best ginger ale is Vernors!
Hi there Jacob and Jenny, Adam is in Tennessee at the Spring 2023 rod run, they show classic cars trucks vans. The traffic is a nightmare lol. That's what he's doing in his latest video. Pigeon Forge. Thanks for sharing this video Jacob it's a joy to watch , you have fun and stay safe and take care. Hi Jenny Penny 👋😊
Thanks for sharing
7:20, they made a resurgence about 10 years ago now as I did see people wearing those when I was in high school
Kenleys looks just like I 80 truck stop! Wow
The last gas station has the best truck accessories store
Shells from the beach!
Gee, at this point, the shop ought to deliver your car to wherever you happen to be!
Good job he isn't in China
0:11 Love seeing you in my home state 🌴🤩
Enjoyed all your stops.
You win the internet for the week singing "I'm a Pedro in a bottle" at the end!!! Well done sir!!!
Hi Jacob. Palm trees grow much taller than palmetto trees. That is the difference. I loved Necco wafers as a kid.
Difference between a Palmetto tree and a Palm tree. The most significant difference is that a palm tree is generally much larger than a palmetto. Some species of palms, like the Royal Palm, can grow 80 to 100 feet tall. A palmetto, on the other hand, will generally only reach 30 to 60 feet. The Sabal Palmetto is one of the taller palmettos available.
Wow Brad thank you for that interesting info!!!I am today years old to know about this!
@@Kento_yamazakkkiii Thanks man!
Now I wanna play interstate bingo!
Stuckys looks cool, but you made me nostalgic for one of MY families roadside stops.....could you PLEASE go check out/ eat at a Cracker Barrel sometime so I could see it again?🙏😅
What state are you in that you don't have cracker barrel?
@@DeRos.1227 The State of Canada😂
The new hat's working for you, Jacob! Rather dapper, even. Thanks for taking us along on your Florida family trip with you!
My mom had that box her earrings inside it. It smelled like cedar tree.
I still have my miniature cedar chest (hope chest) from when I graduated high school. Furniture store would give girls with a voucher from the school. Those are a tiny bit smaller. Good for trinkets /jewelry.
Thanks for sharing💕💜 I'm also a pushover😱 I remember as a child going to Cape Henlopen beach in Delaware. There was always dead,dying and rotting horseshoe crabs washed up on the beach🙀 It was so nasty🤢 Had to be cautious not to step on them!🦀🐚🏖
I would love to go to a Bucc-ee's some day! Everything looks delicious!
Jean, I finally got to a Buc-ee’s earlier this year in St. Augustine, Florida and Loxley, Alabama! It is impressive! Naturally, I bought a shirt 👚 at both locations plus a stuffed Bucee 🦫 Beaver wearing a little t-shirt! There’s a Buc-ees opening in Springfield, Missouri sometime soon!
I remember when Stuckey's were ubiquitous as bugs on a bumper. Hard to believe that they're almost gone the pecan log was my personal favorite. I think that the purple robot gorilla is Mecha Kong from the 60s King Kong cartoon, however my memory is a bit hazy, so don't quote me on that. And that whale is not vicious or angry! He's just sleepy. The gator on the other hand....
Digging your new chapeau 😊❤
this is such a nice attraction.
but i love your roadside attraction trips.
Next time you find yourself making the drive from Dallas to Waco check out the Czech Stop for some of those great treats...worth the stop.
I love this video a ton!
Always enjoyed replay love your channel thankyou ❤️
Love the videos Jacob! You look good in your new hat haha
I haven't seen a Stuckey's in for ever. Used to be a couple of them along I 35 when I was a kid. They usually was near rest stops if I remember right. Was my favorite place to stop on our trips to Iowa from Missouri to visit grandma
The difference between palmettos and palm-trees is size with palmettos being about half the size
Buc-ees was not in Florence when I lived there, but what was in Statesville while living there was JR Cigars. Closed now, but I think there is still 1 in N.C. You ought to do a video on it. I quit, too many comments!
honestly i didnt notice you were wearing the new hat until the very end lol
I bet Robert the doll could have hurried your car along, from the body shop!
Hey jacob like the new lid👍👍
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Mr Bagger!! I was at South Of Border in 1982 🏞️🌄🐻
Welcome back to The Carolina’s! 😊 Loved this adventure! South of The Border has been around forever! Hope Jen had fun! It will be nice having you 2 back in The Carolina’s residing, home base! Gotta get back to The Bunker! When your back in the area, come visit Greenville SC!
Mourning dresses were not only for murdered death's. They were for simply for when any kind of death happened.
Love the south of the border used to drive by there three times a year I would always stop for fireworks when visiting my grandmother in Saint Marys Georgia
Always stopped at south of the border on our way to MB. If I remember right the silver slipper / bargain bens use to be a casino. Also one trip down south we spent a night there, all I can say is that was sketchy, stayed in a few sketchy places but this was probably the sketchiest at SOB…
The palmetto is a type of palm in the "sabal'" family. The three are palmettos, dwarf palmettos and sabal minors (AKA swamp palmetto) All three are native the the lower southeast (SC,GA,FL,AL, MS,LA and TX) other palms you will see in the lowcountry are pindo palms, Canary island date palms, California fans, windmill Palms and sometimes queens but very rarely. I know I'm missing a few more but yeah contrary to popular belief not only does SC have palms but we have A LOT of different palm species throughout.
You Needed To Get The STUSSY PONCHO Back In The Good Ol Day's
Hi! Love y’all’s videos! In Texas, we eat koloaches for breakfast lol
The mural is I-95!
They are building the World’s biggest Buc-ees in Luling,TX in 2024.
I love necco wafers except for the licorice ones. The chocolate is my favorite
NECCO is pronounced Neck-O. They also make Squirrel Nut Zippers, Mint Juleps,Mary Jane and Banana Split.
When Jacob held that ginger ale up into the sunlight,...I hate to say what it looked it. 🤪 Jen is a hoot,...so much fun.
Springfield, MO is slotted to get a Bucees as well. I've never planned to attend the opening of a gas station until now. Haha
Love the videos, Jacob and Jen! Safe travels!
Do you know when the opening of the Springfield Missouri Buc-ee’s is slated to OPEN? Thanks.
@@ShelleeGraham the last update that I have heard was plans for opening in Dec of this year.
@@jerrym2059 Cool Beans! Thank you kindly, I appreciate your reply.
We no longer have Texaco in Colorado I grew up on a Texaco oil field from age 3-14! Get me one of those signs 😂 Just throw in the back and when you're back this way we'll make a deal Ok... Ok!!👌
Kolache simply means pastry. Growing up, my aunts made kolache - pastry twists filled with raspberry, poppy seed or ground walnuts. I had moved to Texas before I realized almost anything can be Kolache. You can apparently put any twist on it you like.
