As you can see, the Pennsylvania line of demarcation for Sheetz and Wawa is just west of Harrisburg along the Lancaster > Reading > Allentown corridor. For this reason, if our state was to ever engage in a future civil war, I imagine the flashpoint will originate along Rt. 222. Think in terms of the neighboring hillbilly Hatfields and redneck McCoys. But with way more guns.

| Red dots are Sheetz. Yellow dots are Wawa. |
I'm only theorizing here. Mostly because the stark red/blue political divide will be on full display during the upcoming 2022 U.S. Senate race. Pencil-Tucky is the only state rated as a "clear tossup."
We'll be voting for Lt. Governor John Fetterman (D) in the primary.
If you run into Fetterman on the campaign trail, feel free to serenade him with this renegade version of "Wawa Ain't Sheetz."
Wawa Ain’t Sheetz
sonofsaf
Wawa you shouldn’t be sellin’ cigarettes
‘Cause there is cancer in the real world
But I’m hungry for chow
I wanna Gobbler
The turnpike goes from east to west
It’s all on yelp, foodie take the test
Take it back from the start
‘Cause you know I ain’t playin’
The Sizzlis don’t have sauerkraut
Breakfast bowls are what it’s all about
At Sheetz you will pay less
Don’t be a crybaby, please
Wawa ain’t Sheetz faith I’ll take a leap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz, it’s not very cheap
A Thanksgiving defined, I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, hmm
I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, hmm
Rewarding on Tuesdays with free coffee
Buy a muffin from the bakery
Toss a salad tonight
Sheetz you roll the dice
But their ice cream’s telling me to lick it up
Online ordering, I gotta pick it up
Just don’t have a cow with white or brown rice, please
Wawa ain’t Sheetz faith I’ll take a leap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz, it’s not very cheap
A Thanksgiving defined, I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, hmm
I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, hmm
Philly, Philly is where I want to be
City of Pittsburgh’s not for me
Their balsamic dressing is wow
‘Cause keystone’s our blood
Keystone’s our blood (our blood), so please (so)
Wawa ain’t Sheetz faith I’ll take a leap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz, it’s not very cheap
A Thanksgiving defined, I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, hm
I'm gonna eat The Gobbler, ooh ooh
Wawa ain’t Sheetz faith I’ll take a leap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz, it’s not very cheap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz faith I’ll take a leap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz, it’s not very cheap
Wawa ain’t Sheetz (Oh, I'm gonna eat The Gobbler)
Wawa ain’t Sheetz (Ooh)
Wawa ain’t Sheetz (Don't stop killing me softly)
Wawa ain’t Sheetz (I know I'm eating The Gobbler)
Papa Don’t Preach
Madonna
Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We're in an awful mess
And I don't mean maybe, please
Papa don't preach I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm
I'm gonna keep my baby, hm
He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I oughta live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love
We are in love (in love), so please (so)
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
Papa don't preach (Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby)
Papa don't preach (Ooh)
Papa don't preach (Don't stop loving me daddy)
Papa don't preach (I know I'm keeping my baby)
Madonna has been to Pittsburgh twice (1985 & 2012). As opposed to her 20 appearances in Philly. She obviously prefers hitting up the big cities and cashing in. Ka-Ching! With a net worth of 880 million, the Material Girl is closing in on billionaire status.
So Saf, what's your favorite Madonna song? Gotta go old school. Borderline, hands down.
Saf, of vastly greater importance... which is better? Wawa or Sheetz? The one thing I like about Sheetz... is that back in the mid 90's, when they started construction of their Southwest Air (LUV) terminal at the corner of National Rd and Route 88 in Wheeling, St. Vincent's Church across the street petitioned the city that the gas station would be an "eternal sacrilegious eyesore." Taking this into account, I'm gonna have to go with Sheetz.
Please do not share this information with the Sheetz family or executives of the Wild Goose Holding Co. (Wawa).
