It’s not a real Texas road trip without a stop into Buc-ee’s. Here’s some of the things we saw for sale at the Buc-ee’s in Luling on a recent trip.

JERKY: Nothing says “ROAD TRIP, BRO!” like eatin’ chewy meat, and Buc-ee’s has lots of it.

CANDIED JALAPENOS: A real Texan considers regular jalapenos candy, but these are good, too.

STYROFOAM COOLERS: Cheap and light – just the way we like the beers we stuff in them.

HEAVY-DUTY COOLERS: In case your Dr Pepper six-pack picks a fight with a mountain lion.

BUC-EE’S CANDY: When is Buc-ee’s going to start letting customers trick-or-treat?

POPCORN: The snack most likely to be found mashed up and wedged in between your car seats four years from now.

MEAT: Because it’s meat, and we want some. (And then some more.)

FRUIT: Yeah, we’re going back to the meat …

TRAIL MIX: Buy a variety and make your own trail mix trail mix.

BEAVER NUGGETS: We’re not going to ask where they come from, Buc-ee.

STUFFED TOYS: We gotta admit – the toothy lil’ guy is actually kind of cute.

PEANUT PATTIE: The No. 1 candy of great-grandmothers everywhere.

SWEETS: Because sugar is a best friend that never disappoints.

STUFF IN MASON JARS: Eating fresh food is for wimps.

HABANERO GARLIC: Horrible breath is the best way to discourage unwanted hitchhikers.

GUMMY CANDY: Now in worms AND bears.

FUDGE: It’s like chocolate’s naughty sister.

BUC-EE’S HEADPHONES: So gangsta.

WASABI PEAS: Good for clearing out the sinuses.

SHIRTS, SHIRTS, SHIRTS: Plus, more shirts.

… including these TIE-DIE T-SHIRTS: Undoubtedly making their comeback any minute now.

Have we mentioned they sell shirts?

BASEBALL CAPS: Which go great with the shirts.

BELT BUCKLE: Every self-respecting hipster should own one of these.

VINTAGE SIGNS: If this is the dentist that Buc-ee uses, we’d suggest going elsewhere.

AND FINALLY … THE CANVAS BAG: Because as silly as Buc-ee’s goodies sometimes seem, we still love them and will need something to take them all out to the car in.

Rows and rows of gas pumps: Although it can get crowded, Buc-ee’s has a large number of pumps to keep travelers moving.

Coffee: It’s the life blood of road trips, and Buc-ee’s has plenty of it. They also have a huge selection of flavored creamers, which even includes your favorite candy flavors. What more could caffeine lovers ask for?

The food: Buc-ee’s has an efficient ordering system where customers place their order on a touch-screen computer and then wait for an employee to call it out. You can order deli sandwiches, wraps and other snacks.

The atmosphere: Some Buc-ee’s have seating areas for customers to enjoy their drinks and snacks without spilling everything in the car while knee driving.

The beaver paraphernalia: You can always spot a Buc-ee’s fan by the number of beavers on their car. And their t-shirts. And their hats. And their sunglasses.

The soft-drink selection: For caffeine lovers who don’t do coffee, Buc-ee’s soft drink selection is equally impressive.

Snacks: The other life-blood of road trips. Each location varies, but some Buc-ee’s stores have 100 varieties of wine, potato chips made on site, a Starbucks-like coffee operation, French and Italian olive oils, 48 flavors of Jelly Belly and scores of private-label products, like this jalapeno jerky.

The signs. There’s nothing like sighting a Buc-ee’s billboard on the road to lift your spirits with hope and visions of clean restrooms and Beaver nuggets. But then the hope sinks a little as you realize Buc-ee’s teases you with 10 more billboards before you finally reach the exit. What a tease.

The restrooms: The fact that they are the cleanest of any gas station/rest stop ever (probably) has been their claim to fame.

Last but not least, Beaver Nuggets. No description needed.

Stand-up comic, podcaster, avid hunter, and UFC host Joe Rogan recently got to experience a Buc-ee’s gas station for the first time and captured it on social media.

Rogan is currently traveling in Texas, with a gig Saturday night at ACL Live at The Moody Theater. He posted his thoughts on Buc-ee’s on Thursday afternoon on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

As a host and fight commentator for UFC, Rogan was one of the first to speak with Ronda Rousey after her knockout victory over Bethe Correia of Brazil earlier this month in Rio de Janeiro.

It’s always fun to see someone from out of state interact with something that most Texans find so common place, like a gas station with dozens and dozens of gas pumps and all the jerky you could ever want. 

Rogan credited his friend Ben O’Brien, a marketing manager with the Austin-based YETI coolers company for the tip on Buc-ee’s. It appears Rogan also got some bow hunting practice hunting in while in the Lone Star State as well.

He was likely at a Buc-ee’s in Central Texas, maybe in Bastrop, it appears. 

Rogan exaggerated when he said there were “hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pumps” but we all get the idea. No word if he was able to try out the gas station chain’s restrooms, touted for their cleanliness.

The wall of candy at Buc-ee’s amazed him as well. He also got a kick out of pickled quail eggs within feet of “the 10,000,000 candlepower hog hunting flashlight and the camouflage women’s lingerie.”

“I’m not making any of this up,” he says in one video clip on Instagram.


WARNING: Graphic language …

Rogan will get another run at Buc-ee’s when he plays Houston’s House of Blues on Oct. 2. He plays two shows that night.

Maybe he’ll offer up some Beaver Nuggets at the merchandise table.
