Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 07, 2022

Word to the wise from Wally.

And if she really doesn’t want it. Then you have something to nibble on.

Yeah, except I want my snacks from the Asian minimart in Menifee. Melon KitKats are oishii!

This also works with kids, every time. Things you wouldn’t think of buying as too expensive and frivolous in a regular store, such as beef jerky and weird-flavored Jelly Bellies, seem irresistible fun treats at the counters of gas station minimarts.

Anyway, you won’t get her the right snack, but at least she’ll have something to blame you about.

Just don’t purchase there sushi.

No wizard fingers (aka roller dogs)

Nope, mine yells at me for sabotaging her diet.

We normally plan our trip to buy gas in the same town that we stop to eat in. As for other reasons for stopping: several years ago I went to a site and downloaded the locations of every rest stop on the interstate highway system in the Eastern United States. I put it on a spreadsheet and printed it out and it is in the glove compartment of my car.

If I could program this into an app and tie it to GPS, I could make a fortune selling it.

BE sure the sancks have chocolate in them. Thoughtfulness in snacks is ALWAYS appreciated. . . peanuts, too, maybe. . .and some caramel. . .

I was getting nervous there, Walt. I first read that as “smack”.

Do like I do and play it safe, get two!

Wally, if you don’t take your wife with you, you don’t need to buy her snacks.

“Eat here! Get ⛽!”

At a gas station? No thank you.

I don’t believe they sell wine at gas stations.

My X could spend $50 at a gas station on snacks. She was a killer at the movie theater

I love those southwest chicken taquitos!
