Josh and Ollie, two best friends from the UK, travel the world trying new food to introduce to friends back home. The food is reviewed on their YouTube channel, Jolly.
Recently, Josh and Ollie stopped at a Wawa.
“We heard in Philly they have a Buc-ee’s rival—Wawa. It’s impressive. It could have been called Wow Wow but it wasn’t,” the two friends report.
Most of their visit was spent trying to figure out how to order from the Wawa kiosk, “an overwhelming experience” because of the “infinite choices.”
They had to ask an associate how to finish the order.
“You can tell no one’s ever asked that before,” said one of the Brits.
They loved the warm cookie.
“In the UK if you were on a road trip and could just get a warm cookie like that. You’d be a happy man,” one of them reported.
They also enjoyed the frozen cappuccino, meatball hoagie, and Italian hoagie.
Plus mac and cheese. “So if you don’t have any teeth. Yeah. This is what you should order.”
The corn bread was also excellent, they said, like a cornbread Twinkies.
In conclusion, Wawa “felt like a place dedicated to long road trips.”
You can see their entire first visit to Wawa experience in the YouTube video below.

Only billionaires will soon be able to afford sandwiches at Bucee’s.
Wawa is very nice but not in the same league as Bucee’s.
Joe Walsh BTTT.
Wawa is Indian for geese.
The question for Pennsylvanians: Wawa or Sheetz?
Then there’s also Royal Farms, out of Maryland I believe.
I liked the ones they did with one of their children in Korea; but those may have been on a different channel.
bump
You Tube has LOADS of these kind of videos.
Brits seem to have this obsession with going to Walmart.
Imagine spending money, in the UK to fly what ever class to come to America just to go to Walmart of all places.
Go figure.
Walmart is nothing compared to Carrefour in Europe.
I was last there in 2017 laying my 102 yr old Mom to rest at Whitemarsh. Lederach has a big Golfcourse nearby and a lot if Surburban housing. Going down WaWa Rd there was a bridge that spanned a creek, in late 1979 it had become pretty dilapidated. When Ronald Reagan took office he taped Drew Lewis to be his Transportation Secretary, the guy who fired all the Air Traffic Controllers. Anyway, he was our neighbor about 4 miles away, needless to say the bridge was repaired soon after. When Lewis ran for Pa governor he asked my Dad to head up Democrats for Lewis. He didn’t though. Graterford Prison was very imposing, once in a while we would get info to not pick up any hitchhikers. LOL. I remember the Prison farm fields.
Same cemetery, my mom, dad, sister. They just demolished the Gypsy Rose Hotel, on RT. 29. All stone. It was originally a working mill on the Perkiomen River. I kept my plane at Perkiomen Valley Airport. I used to hang out at the Gypsy Rose quite a bit. Very sketchy Meth and cocaine fueled locals.
Wowzers! You don't get live news feeds anymore for just that reason. Always the delay now.
In my student pilot days I use to fly out of Wings field.
Days of the Trilander.
