Texas Drink Troughs
This is one way cold drinks are stored in Texas gas stations. These troughs are usually full of beer, but also a few sodas for the kidlets/non-drinkers. I am always tempted to sneak a piece of ice to suck on; gross, I know, but when it's 100+ degrees for weeks on end, you don't pass up ice when you see it.
This post should also explain why hockey is not popular in South Texas. Ice? Ice is what keeps the beer cold. End of story.

Beer??? You can BUY beer at the gas station??? Can't do that here.... oh wait, that's because your beer has almost no alcohol in it compared to ours heheheheheheheehehe

Ah yes. Hockey. In Texas. Lol!!!!! I was driving past the "new" ice rink at 280 and 1604 the other day and they had obviously just cleaned the ice. There was a pile of "snow" out back. I was so tempted to go make snow angels in the 90 degree heat. Good times.

Techno: All the convenience stores I went into in Montreal were so tiny. I think people would drop dead of shock to walk in and see a trough!
