Creators note:
Hello, my name is Zackary Smigel. I've been creating RU-vid videos since I was a kid. I started RU-vid full-time about five years ago. You might have seen me from Real Estate License Wizard, where I obtained 60,000 subscribers and over 5 million channel views. I have since left that channel for creative pursuits, and this is my first crack at starting something new. I'd appreciate a like and subscribe if this content interests you and I captured your attention for even just a few moments.
On a secondary note, wow. This video was an undertaking. I can't emphasize how hard I worked on this one and boy was it fun. I learned a lot and always am continuing to try and improve my craft. Don't worry I am not quitting the other style videos, but I want to mix in crazy things like this every once in awhile. I really hope you all enjoy!
Thanks so much for watching,
Zackary Smigel

I have no idea how this video will perform. It was definitely experimental on my part, but I'm happy I did it! I learned a lot, and hopefully, you do too after watching. Rest assured I'm not ditching my typical topics or style but as I mentioned before I want to blend internet culture and social science. I hope you all enjoy.

$10 for next to unlimited fries for a full month is an actually insane offer. I assume they offer that hoping that everyone forgets they've subscribed to it and only comes in once or twice a month for them, but if people were using that as much as they could, there's no way they wouldn't lose money off of it. My fatass would have already signed up if I wasn't in the northwest.

To account for your bad feelings on day 7, I would say its probably the introduction of certain cooking oils or grease in general.

It was delicious especially as a broke college kid to have fresh prepared food and fancy coffee and smoothie drinks from a GAS STATION. I love Sheetz and I miss it.

Man, Sheetz has little place in my heart, had the most satisfying meal ever there. For context, I am from the UK. I was in the US to work as a camp councillor for a few months. Because I was the only councillor with any boating experience, I was made to be a staff member on a 9 day canoe trip, travelling around 67 miles. Imagine that you had just been on that canoe trip. All you had eaten for 9 days was entirely from tins or packets, cooked over a campfire with bare minimum portions. Then, you finally end your trip, and the car journey home starts. Then, in the distance, the red gates of heaven open as you pull into this goddamn gas station of the gods. I considered applying for American citizenship as I ordered a burrito the size of my forearm and a $1.29 extra large lemonade larger than my head. Our entire group sat in complete silence as we all decimated our meals and watched some shitty Hallmark movie on the TV, which was the only time the entire group was silent considering it consisted of a bunch of 13 year old teenage girls. That meal, whilst definitely not anything fancy, felt like the last supper to me. God bless Sheetz and American lemonade 🫡

I honestly considered moving to PA with him after college just for the Sheetz. 😭😭😭 California needs to step up their convenience store food. We have the perfect market for it.

From PA and people here love Sheetz. PA gas stations offer a lot for food options now a days with competition between GetGo, Country Fair, Wawa, 711, and a variety of other options in this area. I think the food from these places are healthier than McDonalds, but there is a lot of greasy options of course. We had a Sheetz shut down around here and there was a petition to bring it back it was such a hangout spot for locals.

Meanwhile I spent nearly a year once spending about $35-50 a week on food for a week at Walmart. For example you can buy a weeks worth of ramen for $5 and and a pack of 8 hot dogs for $2,. Combine that with the free bread I got from donations, I was able to even splurge and buy some more expensive frozen food. Like chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and the breakfast burritos. I lost 20 lbs over that year which admittedly was bad for me since I was under weight to begin with, but it saved my life. If anybody is curious, two more examples was you can buy a pack of 4 Chef Boyardee for about $5, and boxes of off brand kraft for $1 each that by the way come with 2 servings. I also was paying for all the food living with my now ex.
