The Gas Station Snack

You stop somewhere between here and there and what you grab from the rack reveals your entire character. The beef jerky contingent and the gummy situation people have never fully agreed on the road snack question. You eat half of it before you reach the highway and call the rest lunch.

7-Eleven Day

On July 11th (7/11), 7-Eleven gives away free Slurpees. This is not a cultural tradition in the grand sense, but it is a reliable American experience: standing in line at a convenience store on a hot July afternoon, holding a small plastic cup of frozen sugar water, and feeling genuinely happy about it.
