Everyone is focusing on the pizza, but how on earth is that a medium drink?
It’s s medium FOUNTAIN. That I can see
Right? It’s almost the size of a car!
It needs ro be at least… three times smaller!
And what sort of monster drinks pop in the morning?
Earliest I can bring myself to drink pop is like, 11:30 maybe
It’s more of an afternoon type drink, no?
I don’t drink coffee so soda is how my body gets it’s daily intake of caffeine.
Being raised Mormon like this gave me bad teeth.
Morning coffee gives me brown teeth. I can’t do all that sugar at the start if the day with pops though.
In some parts of the US is fairly common.
Dr. Pepper instead of coffee in the morning is a thing in Texas.
Like, not everyone does it, but no one bats an eye at it either.
What the fuck.
I like to buy child size.
Everything wrong with this:
- “Breakfast Pizza”
- Pepsi for breakfast
- “Medium” 64 oz drink
- $4 for not a lot of value
Nothing like spiking your blood glucose first thing in the morning.
What did breakfast pizza do to you! It’s delicious!
It’s also a monstrosity which should only be enjoyed as leftovers from dinner pizza.
The pizza-thing is fine, but gaving pepsi for breakfast is pretty vile.
How about Fanta, it’s oranges right?.. I have no idea if this sort of place would serve Fanta.
If you’re gonna have orange and bubbles for breakfast it better be a mimosa than a fanta.
I think Fanta in the US is just soda, no orange juice. Different from Europe.
Orangina for me, please.
In the US fanta is just fake orange flavor and corn syrup though.

I know after ze club you would prefer something küül like a coffee und cigarette
Maybe invite your cigarette outside for espresso und watch the street life
Why is this petrol station so big? I could park 2 tanks between the petrol pumps.
Why would you eat pizza for breakfast?
Why would you drink so much cola (this looks like 1l-1.5l to me)?
How is this so cheap? They charge 4€ at my local petrol station for 0.5l of pepsi alone.
What kind of pizza is this?
Is midwest some kind of common marketing?
Okay, i’ll bite and try to answer these. Without knowing any details of which chain and where exactly this station is located (in a city/town or right off a motorway/interstate?)
A lot of “truck stop” type stations are this big to accommodate large vehicles and potential larger trailers they might be towing. Like a 3/4ton pickup with a huge 5th wheel trailer. Or even Class A/C motorhomes and RVs. These pumps likely have diesel and petrol so even large box trucks will pull in the fuel up. There are usually different areas for full tractor-trailer (lorries) but those pumps are for those trucks only. Further, the gap is three vehicles wide so a vehicle can be on a pump on either side and someone arriving or leaving can fit between them- especially if there is a case of 3 pumps in a row.
Pizza for breakfast? Judging by the picture and the title, this looks like actual Breakfast Pizza. Eggs, sausage, etc are the toppings. Had this a lot growing up just at home. And pizza style is common “grab and go” type food from gas stations since it’s easy to eat, even while driving.
Now, a cola with/for breakfast…naah. I’m with you there. That’s a bit off. But otherwise, the size is normal for a truck stop. Fountain drinks are a lot cheaper than canned or bottled of the same drink. For example 24oz bottle for $2-3 or a 48-64oz fountain for the same price or less. People are traveling when they come through here, or stopping by to grab stuff on their way to work for the whole day. So the idea is the drink is to have on hand for hours if not most of the day. The styrofoam cups are junk but a lot of people transfer to a more practical container, or some stations chains would sell their own fancy insulated cups and allow discounted refills in their cup.
How is this so cheap? Gas station food, man! Doesn’t mean it’s any good! I just covered the soda portion for pricing and a slice of pizza (breakfast or normal pepperoni) is usually only like $2. So the pricing advertised here makes sense.
Midwest is a kind of marketing thing with many layers or points. The midwest region of the States is the massive, wide-open middle section where there’s usually cattle ranching, farming and a lot of nothing. So this can be spun in a lot of ways- farmers/ranchers allegedly eat big (unhealthy) food and drinks, the midwest is big, things are cheap because nothing and no one is out there, etc. Also this gas station is likely located in the midwest and targeted towards people that are traveling through, so it’s got that “tourist” hook to it.
I think that about covers it?
The gas station is Casey’s, I’d recognize their breakfast pizza anywhere. It’s the best I’ve ever had.
How… many… different… breakfast pizzas did you have so far?
IDK about a dozen ish
It’s what the people want. Mega slices of pizza and giant medium sized sodas for breakfast for 4 bucks.
Ill answer all of your questions by order.
Its so big for trucks trailers, and even RVs and Semis(Lories?) this is probably a gas station by a freeway. A lot of local stations are smaller, atleast where I am.
Because its cheap as shit.
You’ll usually get one and drink it over the day, especially if my freeway gas station hypothesis is correct, there are a long stretches of american highway with fuck all.
Their probably banking on you grabbing one or two more items to help even out the loss and turn it into a profit. Also government subsidies may be a factor.
I cant Identify what type of pizza that is, maybe cheese if not IDFK.
This station is probably is in the midwest and their taking the piss a bit. Ive personally come across “middle of nowhere lunch” advertisements while driving through eastern Nevada so I assume this is a similar situation.
Man those long stretches of nothing sound amazing. Where I live towns bleed into one another pretty much. You gotta really move a lot to find somewhere relatively untouched.
Loads of north America is just fuckin empty. Canada’s population density is around 4 people per km², and 99% of us are crammed up against the 49th parallel(the border) as most of the rest of the country is a frozen wasteland.
When I was living in London, my wife and I decided to rent a car and drive up to Edinburgh for our yearly visit to her friends. Told my coworkers that we were driving and they couldn’t believe it.
“ISN’T THAT LIKE A 7 HOUR DRIVE?!”
Motherfucker, back home you do a 7hr drive to go camping on a regular weekend…It can be pretty neat during the day, but man does it fuck with your senses at night. If youre lucky youll have the full moon and/or the milky way. Also it can be anxiety inducing if you didnt realize how big itd be and youre gas starts getting uncomfortably low.
Driving through Wyoming on a mostly moonless night along an empty highway was one of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had.

The only pizza for breakfast I would accept is a cold leftover one after a night of heavy drinking.
There is a thing called breakfast pizza that uses sausage gravy as the sauce. Pizza is topped with chopped bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese. It’s incredible. Bonus points if there is frank’s red hot nearby.
Where nutrition
Pizza is a vegetable
I’m disgusted but also intrigued by breakfast pizza…
Breakfast pizza is pretty great, cheesy base sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon and breakfast sausage bits. Good stuff.
The base sauce scares me a bit
Me too, but I’d be 100% down to replace the base with hot sauce (maybe I can use Tabasco to make a buffalo sauce, that sounds heavenly). I’m like 80% down to try a maple base (or drizzle) as well.
You could try replacing the base with a thick sausage gravy
OOOO yeee I like the way you think.
Casey’s breakfast pizza uses sausage gravy as the base.
Hello fellow midwesterner!
Good morning! It’s a horrible day as usual here in Terre Haute, Indiana. But Casey’s still serves a fine breakfast pizza.
Casey’s does not unless you custom order it. It’s a cheese sauce. Quik trip does the sausage gravy though
I’ve never had one with a sauce. Breakfast pizza is super popular here. It’s just scrambled eggs mixed with cheddar cheese with your choice of toppings. It’s one of the few things I could eat for breakfast every day and not get sick of it.
It’s the worst parts of both breakfast and pizza
Whoa whoa whoa. That’s a strong statement to make as a generalization.
Yeah, it’s the 3 left over slices of pepperoni from night
warmed up pizza leftovers has been a breakfast staple for ages
Cold pizza is superior for breakfast if the quality is there already.
I’m weird, I know

Pizza, why not. I’ll skip the bucket of coke though.
More of a Pepsi person? I can respect that.
To answer most of your questions, it’s Casey’s breakfast pizza (bacon/sausage, egg, and cheese), it’s delicious. No, soda (some of us call it pop) for breakfast is weird even for us. The lot is huge cuz a ton of people here have large trucks, RV’s, etc. And yes that medium soda is huge
I’m fat because my oversized truck is so big.
But, at least you can compensate the amount of sugar you drink by filling the cup with a ton of ice!
Casey’s pizza is actually really good. Their breakfast pizza is awesome, but I when I actually get it I’ll order a whole large and share it with the fam for dinner. Bacon or sausage would be the two options in the warmer. They are out of Ankeny IA I believe, but are in small towns all over the Midwest.
The hardest part to wrap your European head around would be four servings of sugary soda for breakfast, but how many people do you know that drink cups and cups of builders tea that is more sugar and milk than tea?
Neither side is right, humans can just be gross dopamine chasers in different ways. Compare the ‘pizza’ to a sausage roll, or whatever buttery monstrosity the French enjoy.
The hardest part to wrap your European head around would be four servings of sugary soda for breakfast
Don’t worry, it’s 90% ice
Butter is better than whatever industrial oil is used in that “pizza”
$4 for a slice of pizza and a Pepsi? lol gtfoh
