    Pro tip for Buc-ee's! At the meat counter you can get a sample of EVERY SINGLE Jerky, Sausage, and Linked Meat they sell! That way you can know what flavor you like before you buy it buy the pound or pre-bagged. You can also get samples of every fudge they sell, AND you can get samples of the Turkey, Brisket, BBQ Meat, etc that they put on the sandwiches! You'll practically be full before you even buy anything to take with you to eat! LOL! Also, next time you get an Icee, you can squirt a small amount in the cup to try of the different flavors to see which you like, so you don't waste a purchase and get something you won't want to finish, and put the domed lid on before you go to fill up the cup so you can fill it through the hole all the way up the dome! Another great thing about their bathrooms is that not only are they continuously cleaning them all day but inside the stalls on the wall they have a disinfectant foam dispenser where you can squirt on some toilet paper to wipe off the seat if you're worried about it being clean or if someone came out immediately before you went in, and it dries really fast so you're not sitting on a wet seat, and an antibacterial hand cleaner dispenser inside the stall as well!

I pointed out that they were building a Buc-ee's and that it was a gas station. My cousin's mouth dropped and he exclaimed, "That's a gas station!?!" I just laughed and said, "Yes!

The jerky is phenomenal, the brisket is good. Not the best according to Texas standards but it is pretty freaking good.

    We got a Buc-ees about six year ago on the gulf coast of Alabama and it was a hoot the first time we experienced it. Love watching the Buc-ees experience through your eyes. The enthusiasm and delight is super fun to watch. You guys asked how it started, I believe. So here you go:
    Buc-ee’s was founded by Arch Aplin III in 1982, with the first store opening in Clute, Texas. The name “Buc-ee’s” comes from Aplin’s childhood nickname, “Bucky Beaver.” The company started as a gas station and convenience store, with a focus on offering something extra-larger spaces, clean restrooms, and a variety of products not typically found at traditional gas stations.

    Buc-ee's even has Breyer model horses (Stablemates). I totally plotzed when I saw them.
    I got lost in Buc-ee's, too. You walk in, wander around looking and feeling kind of daft, then you buy a bunch of food and merch, then you can't remember which side you parked on, so you have to wander around again to find your car, then you have to take a nap.

    "Milk instead of just half n half." JUST HALF N HALF??? Half milk and half cream is a treat.
    You're in the rebuilt Luling Buc-ee's. The first time I walked into the original Luling store they were paging for a lost child. My first thought was, 'how can you lose a child in a gas station?' Then I looked around and realized.
    They're not basically warmed up chips. They are chips fresh out of the oil that fried them.
    Look around in the gifts and you might find a rattlesnake head paper weight.
    Automatic knives were universally outlawed in the US in the late 1950s based on Hollywood movies. Gradually the states have come to their senses, so they are legal in almost every state now. You still can't buy them on Amazon or in most stores (like Target, Walmart, etc.). You can buy flipper knives practically everywhere, and they work much like automatic knives.
    Buc-ee's also has barbecue equipment outside. Or at least they used to.

    In Texas and the southwest we have a lot of ground to cover. Normally Semi-Truck drivers (Truckies in NZ) have all the large complex Truck Stops (RoadHouses) so Buc-ee's is really the same thing for normal drivers. In fact they don't allow Semi-Trucks at all. In general it was the same concept Cracker Barrel did in the 1970's with creating an experience of a country store and restaruant, Buc-ee's decided the road stop whenever you are travelling for hours at a time should be a wonderful experience too. Buc-ee's also knew it was really hard to compete with gas stations on price of gas alone, so by offering so much more they distinguish themselves as a brand and people are generally going to pick to stop there over more traditional gas stations. They can't expand everywhere because they need extreme volumes to stay in business. So buc-ee's only targets large interstate travel corridors that have enough daily traffic to keep them busy all the time.
    Icee are exactly a frozen fizzy drink. The Icee machine was invented with the idea of freezing sodas. To do so they actually have to cool down the liquid under high pressure so the carbonation does not come out. This high pressure also makes the freezing point very very low. So when you dispense the Icee liquid it is actually freezing and forming ice as it comes out of the nozzle and returns to normal pressure. Oh and don't worry about topping up your drinks after you go shopping, or letting the kids try everything. The Drinks and Food in stores have MASSIVE profit on them, they are paying about $0.05 for each of those cups, if you take $0.01 more out of their profit, they don't care...they want you to be happy and look at more stuff to buy than fight you over pennies.

    I've heard that Buc-ee's is awesome. I've heard it described as the world's best tourist trap disguised as a gas station. And this video coming out is a huge coincidence because I just saw another video (can't remember where) that said they were known to have the cleanest bathrooms of any gas station franchise.

    Yeah Buc-ee's is renowned for its clean bathrooms. There are literally billboards off the freeway that have quotes like "you can hold it" and that it will have how many miles to the next Buc-ee's location. It may seem a bit funny to some people but when you're road tripping and clean bathrooms are scarce at least you know you can find one at Buc-ee's. You don't have to walk into a random gas station or fast food place and hope for the best.

    Fun Fact: The people who started Buc-ees walked into Woody's Smokehouse in Centerville which opened in 1978 and then after that Buc-ees opened. Woody's is very popular with locals and a similar set up but smaller and if you happen to drive Hwy 45 between Houston and Dallas stop by if you are in the area. :)
