dixie's truck stop
Our road trip book mentioned this place off good ol' historic route 66, now mostly replaced by Interstate 55.
It's also got a Stuckey's convenience store. Now, I had brought along my laptop, and I put Sam and Max Hit the Road (a classic 90's adventure game) on it, so I was playing it a little when there was nothing to do. In the game, the titular protagonists hit up convenience stores across America called Snuckey's, and there's a certain plot point involving purchasing candy there. When we saw this, I made the connection that maybe Snuckey's was based on a real chain after all, so I had to check it out. Sure enough, Stuckey's sold its own line of candies, just like the game!
