We don’t have those here, but every time I see them mentioned I can’t help but wonder why people don’t find a name that suggests that the food causes vomiting or diarrhea to be off-putting. Fat Burger is another baffling one we don’t have up here.

Which means if you roadtrip from Minneapolis to Iowa State, you can have a credit card bill that purposely looks like you took a whorehouse tour just getting gas.

Another favorite thing of mine in Montana is that every town has a “Town Pump” proudly advertised. I think I used to date her.

Oh really? Unfortunately we don’t have any of those here. ☹ My first exposure to Circle K was in Japan and then in California. Michigan never gets any of the cool gas stations!

You mean you seriously hadn’t heard of Kum 'n Go? I mean, they’re more popular than 7-11’s around here. And 49 cent 64oz drinks. And the cheapest gas in town.

A friend and I once jokingly entertained the idea of opening a convenience store and calling it Shit N’ Git.

There’s a small gas station near me called “DP” which always gets a laugh.

We call it the “Ejaculate and Evacuate.”

Never saw nor heard of it until a few days ago when we camped in Buffalo. By the way, if anybody is ever in that town or in the Bighorn Mountains area, take a side trip to Crazy Woman Canyon. But don’t try it in an RV or towing a trailer or in a low riding car.
