It looks good for a logger...

I remember when they were “Saxon’s pecan logs.”

[Yo-Yo]

I remember as a kid (in the mid-60s) Stuckey’s would advertise “free log roll with fill-up.”

“Dad, can we get gas at Stuckey’s?”

[WinMod70]

There was a local truck stop, Flying J, that used to sell an assortment of Stuckey’s products. I always bought some pecan logs for stocking stuffers. I stopped at the truck stop Monday and nothing, no Stuckey’s at all. I asked the clerk he said he didn’t know if they were getting any products this year.

I checked Stuckey’s website and the nearest spot is now hundreds of miles away. They must have scaled back or changed their marketing strategy. I guess there is always mail order.

I did not know Stuckey’s was still around.

Whenever I travel, I look for those old, forgotten buildings. Makes me very sad, I bet it was a great time to be a kid then. I feel so bad for little kids now.

I didn't, either. Back in the '80's, there was a Sunday night comedy show on KCRW, a local FM station called the Cool & the Crazy that claimed to be sponsored by the Stuckey Corporation.
