    COOL SH*T

Transcript

Cool shit I'd do for Buc ee's. I would do a whole new merch collection because this merch is a damn shame. Starting off with this red trucker hat that has beaver ears and says I don't give a buck, the Buc ee's is for lovers hoodie, the better nugget fuzzy dice, this t shirt that says want your meat jerked, the Buc ee's varsity jacket, The better nugget boxers. This t shirt that says fresh brisket on the board and the matching welcome mat. Buc ee's University. Eat on better. A plush version of the iconic statue. Buc ee's gym because I got a good pump at Buc ee's. Of course, I did bumper stickers, like this one that says rank if you love bushy better. This brown hat with ear flaps that look just like better tails, and the billboard t shirt that says I like big bucks, and I cannot tier. The full Buc ee's collection. Comment and let Buc ee's know they damn better make this.
