He makes me feel like America isn’t actually real and I was born and raised here lol his excitement is so fun

One reason why you can buy so much in American gas stations is because road trips is common in America. Many people drive to go on vacation, business trips, to see family ,etc. Plus we have many truck drivers that cook meals in their truck and some people have RVs with a bathroom in it so of course they need toilet paper. Or if it’s late a night and you need something right away.

Yay! When you go to Texas, you have to go to Bucee’s

I love that you just jump into the video with no intro, no explanation, no nothing. I have no time to wonder whether I even want to watch this, I’m already invested. We’re already in the store.

Boy, just wait until you see a Buc-ee's. You could easily make an hour long or 2 part video. Make sure to get their BBQ, Try some of their brand of Salsa, some Salt Water Taffee, A Southern Kolache, maybe some of the beef jerky, and OBVIOUSLY the Bever Nuggets.

You HAVE to go to Bucees especially since you're in Florida right now!! You will have a blast trying the foods! YOU MUST TRY THE CINNAMON ROLLS and if you love jerky, they have their own jerky type deli!!! They'll let you try it before you buy it as well! Then, make sure you try the candied pecans, bbq sandwiches, chicken burrito, tacos...TRY IT ALL! PLEASE GO TO BUCEES!!!

If you're visiting weird gas stations, you should visit Buc-ee's. That place is crazy. It's like a gas station, meets a grocery store, meets a furniture store, meets a home and gardening store.

Raph is so expressive and his reactions are so genuine. He just feels like a personality that can light up any situation (despite the social anxiety). 😊

If WaWa gets you find a Buckee’s you’ll go totally insane.

You should try Buc-ee’s gas station. I think it is better than Wawa’s. The jerky there is phenomenal!

You should do a road trip across America! You’ll come across SO many different things! Could be a fun series!

In Poland as well as in the Czech Republic you can buy alcohol at gas stations all the time. As far as I know, you can buy booze at gas stations pretty much everywhere except for Norway, Sweden, and Finland. However, there might be a time restriction like in Slovenia where you can buy booze till 09:00 PM.

Raph getting his mind blown is adorable and totally made my night 💜

In Germany you can buy alcohol at the gas station. Especially late at night and on the weekends it becomes handy, since our supermarkets aren’t open on Sunday 😅

YOU LITERALLY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH WAWA!

That place has nothing on Buccees. Come to Texas and let us show you what a real convenient store should be. People in America shop for their home at gas stations when they dont want to go to a big store. Or if you missed something for a Holiday meal and the big stores are closed. They are called convenient stores now not gas stations.

There are two Bucees in FL - Daytona and St. Augustine. You will lose your mind. Bring lots of money - you’ll have to try it all. BBQ, kolaches, candied nuts, fudge, Beaver nuggets, and OMG the wall of jerky!!

To see you get mind blown and pure joy over the pizza and garlic knots over this is so adorable.

You need to go to Buccees!!! "This is terrifying. You drink from it?" Me knowing I have AT LEAST 20 of those tops in my cabinet

You need to go to Buc-ees in Texas. 120 gas pumps and then there is the store which is incredible, they have everything and it is all good. Wa-Wa is kind of a knock off of Buc-ees. You will love it.

Raph getting worried about selling beer at gas stations when you can legally buy weed through the drive through lol

The Jalapeno Popper puffs aren't supposed to have cheese in them, they are based on Jalapeno Poppers which are cheese filled Jalapenos thats get deep fried! Their really good and I would suggest trying to real thing if you like spice! Loved the video though and was happy to see you go to a Wawa, it's me and my mom's favorite place to get coffee and road trip snacks!

Raphael is the definition of quality over quantity

Up a little more north (Ohio, WV, etc), we have Sheetz gas stations. They sell everything and have really good, made to order food! All kinds of sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, subs, wraps, sides, pizza, milkshakes, etc and you can customize them all! It's not a huge store like Buc-ees but the food is surprisingly good.

Video idea!!!! Rent a van and live in it for a day or two, showing which gas station foods you can make etc

Imagine if Raph went to Buc-ees. He'd actually lose his mind!

These places aren't just a gas station..their are considered "convenience stores". Basically like a miniature grocery store where you can get select grocery items. And if you can drive to a regular grocery store or liquor store to buy alcohol, why not at a gas station/convenience store? You're driving either way regardless of the type of store. 😂

Wawa's food and drinks are so good. Their hoagies and tea are the best!

I've seen a lot of videos of people going to Buc-ee's. They have everything, from plushies and pyjamas, to pulled pork and candied nuts made fresh in-house. This KZfaq couple, Kara and Nate, made a great video on it. If I had to choose a wild gas station to go, Buc-ee's would be it.

In Germany and poland you actually can buy alcohol at the gas station it is really popular because People often go there to buy their stuff on sundays and supermarkets Are always closed then

You are so funny and quick-witted. Enjoy watching you. Thanks

To be fair, Wawa started off as a dairy farm. They originally were small stores, no gas, and had a deli counter. They had their own milk and dairy products. Then added convenience stuff, like candy and basic goods, like toilet paper. Over time, they added the gas (late 80s or early 90s) and expanded the counter service, removing the sliced deli. I still go for coffee. :D

I was waiting for the birthday cake marshmallows! But in all honesty, those look amazing. One of the many reasons I want to visit America.

Raphael remember when you lived in the uk? Our gestation are like this too 😂 you can't have forgotten that quickly

Drive to a Buccees. We have a few in Florida now. None close to me, sadly... Be prepared to be insanely overwhelmed, but there is an entire wall of jerky, they smoke their own meats, and their chicken salad is the best I have had, (outside of mine.) It is a full market, they stand by the cleanest bathrooms ever, and they also have a mini department store. Worth every penny, and every gallon of gas!

thank you for making videos! I appreciate how you are entertaining and great vibes i always feel positive watching and you make me laugh!

I have only heard and seen things about Buc-ee’s in Texas, but from what I’ve heard it’s worth it. In the Midwest, go to QuikTrip (QT), and def try the breakfast pizza. It’s so good! And their taquitos, especially the chicken one.

I was born in America, and I've never found the courage to eat that type of cheese. You're truly a courageous man.

I'm halfway through and I already love this great job, again.

I really like and appreciate your videos and the way you make them long when you feel like it, nowadays everything's tries to be short and fast!

Raphael surprised gas stations sell pizza 🍕 just had me. Pizza and hot dogs are the mainstay of mini-market gas stations and for decades. However, like Raphael, I’m surprised at variety if drinks offered at Wawa. I think I need to roadtrip across the country, and soon! 😂

Love this! I use the app to order. Wawa is known for the deli made foods & orderable not for packaged shelf foods. Fun video!♡ The cheese & meat sticks taste best in one bite together. Sheetz is another gas station to try!

I became a fan probably only like 6 months ago, and have now watched most of your videos! I really love your channel. Thank you for posting so much lately!

No THANK YOU for making these videos for us. Raphael you ALWAYS make me smile ❤. I DEFINITELY have my notifications on for you 😊

If you’re in South Florida you need to try Cuban food. Idk if you got the garlic plantain chips but you should try them!

That was the funniest experience of a gas station I have ever seen 😅

I love watching your videos! You are my go to before bedtime. Always so fun and relaxing to watch you! 💜💜💜

Raphael, I could watch your videos all day! I love your excitement!

as an american the gas station is overwhelming for me too lmao - always a new experience. love raph's enthusiasm!

Some place in Texas is a place called Buc-ees. I've seen a couple of vlogs on it. Like WaWa it's a gas station but it's huge. They have just about anything you would want plus their own brands . If you're ever in Texas look it up.

I live in Las Vegas and the largest gas station here is Terribles Roadhouse. It's right outside of Vegas in Jean, NV. It's so huge. They have everything you could want there, drinks, coffee, pizza, snacks, souvenirs, slot machines, and a giant candy section where you can buy by the pound. It's so big, there are cars inside on display and an airplane!

I love how so much stuff is new to him and he gets amazed over some of our products and stuff... He literally jus makes me smile bc he's hilarious as well ❤ It's fun to watch 😅

WAWA IS SO GOOD, ugh i miss living where i can get it.

I have a chest infection and when he said Whatcha cha cha mit I literally nearly died. 😅

I love Raphael's excitement. He's absolutely adorable 😍❤💕

Love your hair suits you so well along with your outfit colors

I was in Orlando two weeks ago! Going into wawaa and 7eleven absolutely blew my mind!! So much choice and flavour options it’s insane to me and I would literally book a plane ticket to go back to see them and grocery stores 😂

You gotta try Sheetz if you get a chance. It’s only in the Southeast, though. But if you do, definitely try their hot food, particularly the breakfast sandwiches, and the Sheetz brand sodas. Lots of crazy flavors. My favorite was the caramel apple, but that was discontinued. My second favorite is the pineapple. ***Edit: Sadly, the soda has been discontinued. RIP. But the food is still good.

I just discovered your videos on KZfaq tube about a month ago. I enjoyed so many of your videos especially you posting of your experience coming to America. I have to tell you that Wawa is the major convenience store in PA, DE, & NJ. Not all Wawa' s have gas stations . Wawa is like where we like to go for our morning coffee ☕ & lunch hoagies . We have 7 Eleven too but Wawa rules in DE, PA & south Jersey. I love your reaction to Wawa. I have my favorite hoagie deli spot but I love 💕 that I can order breakfast , lunch or dinner pick up another item & by the time I pay the Wawa employee who are always extra friendly my food order is prepared & on the counter for me to pick up. I just went yesterday. So many things to order. I don't know how they do it so effectively & All Wawa' s are consistent across the board. If you go to any Wawa you know what you are going to get . Wawa expanding into FL to attract the Northeastern snow birds who have migrated to FL. They know what Wawa means ❤️ 🤗

Raph, if it makes you feel better, most Americans aren't fighting over the shelf stable cheese products, either. 🤣 Think of that cheese stick as a slice of Velveeta cheese. Velveeta isn't usually eaten straight and is more commonly melted with other ingredients to make cheese sauce or spicy nacho dip.

Raphael happily shopping in Wawa.. Meanwhile me thinking about the icecream which he put in his cart as the very first thing... Melting away..

your videos bring me so much joy.

glad you loved Wawa! It was a deli before a gas station, so that's why it's so phenomenal. I recommend going to buc-ees. It's like a Walmart sized gas station unlike anything else. Got to finally go to one on a road trip to Tennessee and we spent hours and hundreds$ there lololol. You'd be in paradise. They make amazing brisket, jerky and fudge!!!

You actually can buy alcohol on gas stations in Europe and it is definitely not illegal.

The way you pronounced the candy bars 😂

If you're ever in the Texas area try Buc-ee's gas station they're the biggest gas station in the US. Thanks for this awesome video!!

East Coast rep!! So glad you tried Wawa! Love you Raph!

You should try Kwik trip if you’re in the Midwest honestly incredibly cheap and makes great food

You have to find a buc-cees too I hear those have fantastic food, and its huge!

just love your videos so much they are my favorite they make me so happy and always make me smile. i freakin love u so much you mean a lot to me

I’d recommend a few so that you’ll see the varying degrees of types of gas stations to try, and some are ones that I’ve been to that I like; along with ones I’ve never been to. Here is the mix of the ones I’ve been to, and ones that haven’t: loves, 7-11, am pm, circle k, shell, Buc-ee’s, extra mile, 76, Valero, speedway, chevron, Sheetz; and more.

This was hilarious! You would not believe the food choices at T-Mobile Park where I watch the Seattle Mariners play baseball. I hope you’ll explore stadium food sometime.

As your deciding on your cold drink I can't keep my eyes off the combos in the background 😋.. we don't have these in Ontario,Canada anymore .. unless I want to pay an arm and a leg at some import stores 😢

I just want to try everything now seeing you enjoy them so much.

@Raphael Gomes have you heard of Bucc-ee’s? There’s a couple in Florida and they’re in the south. I’m really happy you went to Wawa!! Thank you!! 😊

In Australia we have gas stations called OTR and some have a subway inside and other things like Wendy's but our Wendy's is completely different to America they sell hotdogs and milkshakes and ice cream, there is also OTR's that have a crispy cream place inside, they also have lots of grocery items inside 💖😋

Rapha, I just discovered you recently but your pure, innocent,child like joy with trying new American finds makes my heart so happy. As or the Dots ice cream you should try it at a sports stadium (my town has a stand at the zoo too). I find it better than the kind sold at gas stations and grocery stores. My town also has a few truck stops, one, Loves, has a McDonald’s and subway in it.

Rapha, I have been in America my whole life and I'm still amazed by the offerings in WaWa!!!

You have got to try wawa milk!!!! And their drinks are soooo good i love adding the immunity boost to my refreshers and teas

As an American living in Germany, I can not express how much I miss a little gas station fountain drink treat!

Spending 100 dollars at a gas station is believable when you buy gasoline but it is funny that you spent 100 dollars at a gas station and did not buy gasoline

LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!!! Subscribed!!!! Notifications on baby!!! You have to go to Sheetz!!!!! I’ve been there once in Pennsylvania. Gas station/ convenience store. It’s amazing!

You can buy alcohol at a lot of petrol stations in the uk and small essentials

I'm actually surprised that Herrs is as expensive over there as it is in the Netherlands. Can you please do a Herr's crips test? I've only seen a few here; Caroline reaper, jalapeno, double cheese and deep dish pizza. I was in Florida last year and this brand was nowhere to be found :(

Your videos are awesomme!

Your reactions are priceless!!!! You must go to Buc-ee’s!

Great video!! "Who buys this"?.... Drops into basket. You are too funny. You seriously need to go to a Buc-ees. It's insane and tons of hot foods.

COME TO TEXAS AND GO TO BUC-EES !

I watched the entire 34 minute video and was not bored once! I could watch Raphael for hours

Whenever I see you post, it's a good day! Only yter I watch with notifications on lol

Yay I hope you enjoyed your time there

Wawa is the best!! ❤

You should go to Buc-ees next! I’ve never been but I’ve seen it on tiktoks and it’s like it Walmart was a gas station

This is tiny compared to Buc-Ees you need to find one

Idk…as an American I was actually blown away by the gas stations on the interstate in Spain. They’d have like FULL nice restaurants in there on top of car-ride snacks! And everything was super clean and nice. America May have variety of snacks, but idk if they’re necessarily “better”

You gotta go to Buccees! They are in Florida now! There is one in St. Augustine and Daytona! 😊

Raphael, you need to go to Buc-eees in Texas! Go to the largest one! They NEVER disappoint!

Now you need to go to Sheetz! If you think sandwiches at Wawa are good, wait til you try the completely delicious but beautifully unhealthy menu there! (Get the stuffed nachos and a burger if you do!)

Can you go to a health food grocery and try all the healthy and organic snacks?

Find a Buc-ees near you and go there. Lots of great delicious selections of food
