A canadian Vloger goes to Texas for a day at the largest gas station in the world.
Forget Disney World...Bucee’s is the happiest place on earth.
New Braunsssfels?
It’s pronounced, “New Braunfels!”
“It’s pronounced, “New Braunfels!”
I give him a pass on that. Canadians have some sort of inherited issues with pronouncing English
Whats a Canadian Vloger?
Vlogger = Video Blogger
He makes his living talking about local foods and going to odd little restaurants and places to eat.
I know plenty of native Texans who say “New Braunsfel” instead of “New Braunfels,” including my MIL. It’s like a mental block or something.
It is like the many people who say “asterix” instead of asterisk.
However true that might be, Braunfels is not an English word. But I know what you mean.
My wife does not like it when I laugh at her when she pronounces it bronze fulls.
And we’ve lived within a half an hour of New Braunfels for the last 50 years.
BTTT. I love me some Buc-cees. Great place.
If you have not been to a Buc-ees gas station you are missing out. Hell, it’s worth the trip to Texas just to go to one.
Thank you for the explanation.
My pet peeve are the weather people who give us the daily “ tempichur”
“If you have not been to a Buc-ees gas station you are missing out. Hell, it’s worth the trip to Texas just to go to one.”
Just don’t compare their prices for snacks to Sams or Costco, it’s multiple times higher.
What about the good folks that say axe instead of ask?
Not in Texas.
There it’s New Bronzville.
Get with the program!

Gasbuddy told me it’s in the 1.20s per gal in Texas, which based on the wholesale is about right.
40 cents more here in Indiana.
Cool! I’ve never been but I’ll add it to my “Grand Tour of Texas”(and maybe Florida) since I have a stop to make in San Marcos already.
They might want to keep a low profile during the Boogaloo.
“It is like the many people who say “asterix” instead of asterisk.”
Well, if you ax me, people should talk proper American.
