1. I so miss them

When we were kids we drove to FL every year, with lots of built in stops to keep Poiuyt and me from killing each other. A stop at Stuckys or two was a total requirment. Do they still exist?

2. OMG that takes me back

When I was 11 (in 1977), my mom, brother, and I drove cross country to California. My brother, probably getting punchy from logging all those miles (my mother was going to help drive, but the night before we left, she dropped her contact lens in the shag carpet and never found it :rofl:), started shouting " 'Tuckey's! 'Tuck-a, 'Tuck-a, 'Tuckey's!" every time we saw a billboard for one of those thousands of places.

I think we only stopped at one once, just because we HAD to by that point--all the billboards had brainwashed us.

3. Oh man, used to stop there on the way to Texas or Arkansas or

Florida when my brother and his family were living in those places...used to love them.

5. ok, what the hell is it?

I've driven cross country many times and notice the billboards, but I have no idea what it is. Have I been in one? Who knows - I can't even tell what the hell it is. Is it just the name of a gas station that sells one particular kind of candy? If so, they better sell a crap load of candy to pay for their advertising.

6. It's sort of a candy/gift shop chain on the interstates

When we used to drive from Minnesota to Pennsylvania to see my grandparents they were all over the place in IL, IN, and PA. My parents refused to stop there. :(
