Hi! I was wondering if there were any Buccee fiends with peanut/tree nut/nuts gen. A new Buccees just opened up in Ohio and I really wanted to try some things out!

A lot of things I wanted to try, stated “may contain” which is usually a hit or miss. Other things say “made in facility” which is also hit or miss. I cant tell if it’s actually the case or if they’re just trying to not to get sued so they slap it on there.

For the most part I’ll avoid obvious things like bakery and the fudge of course, but I was curious has anyone with severe(ish) allergies been able to eat other things and been fine? Like the overbite chocolate caramel (what I REALLY wanted to try) , the cookie dough bites, some candy, chips, etc.

Ik it’s better to be safe than sorry, but sadly it limits my options severely so I was just curious if others gave it a shot!

To add: Ive taken my chances before with familiar brands that say “may contain” and i’m usually fine. They just started slapping that label on nearly everything now even though theres no allergy present. I wasn’t sure how Buccee’s goes about it.

I am 27, turning 28 in June and honestly just need to fucking vent! Life was never meant to be this hard and miserable.

What is the point anymore? Things are becoming extremely expensive to the point the prices cannot even be justified. Food is expensive, gas is expensive, entertainment is expensive, insurance, seeing the doctor, etc. Stepping out of the house in general is expensive! You cant even breathe anymore without a cost. I’m sure soon they’ll slap a subscription on air and water!

This isn’t how we were supposed to live. Idk how we’re supposed to keep this going. Wages wont change but the prices keep going up. We cant afford to live anymore.

I looked forward to becoming an adult but my 20’s have been nothing but horrible because we keep allowing pale, near death men, with no morals or education run our country! Seriously what are we supposed to do when the hole keeps getting deeper? I keep hearing how things improve in your 30’s but it’s hard to believe when I was also told my 20’s would be great. Covid took away my early years and that POS orange has ruined my late. The world I grew up in that had promising future no longer exists.

I feel like I’m rotting away. I don’t feel like a “real” adult. Working my life away just to barely make ends meet. Eating horrible quality food in the sake of saving. Not taking vacations because a medical event could happen (not that I could afford the bill anyways). I feel hopeless even though I’ve aways tried to believe theres light at the end of the tunnel.

I know I’m not the only one that feels this way. When will things change? When will people wake up? How on earth are we ever supposed to beat this fucked up system that is trying to slowly kill us? The ridiculous racism, catering to the rich, catering to religion, all of it is insanity. Our government was never good but what it’s doing now is inhumane.

Even with all that said, even though I feel beaten and torn down, I’m still praying for a miracle. I just want to feel alive again. I want to look forward to each day. I want to be human! I am not asking for much. I just want to afford the basics in life again.

I need advice, understanding or maybe another outlook? I need a wise stranger to tell me it will all be okay. IDK :(

Food: Shio Miso Ramen - XTRA Spicy!

Any Peanut/Nut Allergy Fans?
