Whether you admit it or not, we’re all guilty of losing hours of our lifetime debating Sheetz vs. Wawa. While each respective party is unwavering in their stance that their store is superior, here’s the real reason why Wawa is better than Sheetz…in a completely unbiased, impartial, and fair analysis, not at all relating to the fact that I am from eastern PA/Wawa territory.
1. Wawa has the best coffee, hands down.
I'm not sure what they put in their coffee...but whatever it is, I hope Earth's resources never run out of it.
2. Wawa is a better name than Sheetz.
Sheetz sounds like something that happens after Thanksgiving dinner. Wawa on the other hand sounds like a fun name that rolls off your lips. It's also really fun to say in multiple tones of voice and inflection.
3. Wawa has cool swag.
Sign me up for a Wawa sweatshirt, I will sport that thing like a new Kate Spade handbag. And if I were a guy, I would sport it like something comparable to a Kate Spade handbag.
4. Wawa has Hoagiefest. Hoagie. Fest.
Must I elaborate? A fest of hoagies. I might even plan my wedding around Hoagiefest- forget the cake, just get me a tray of shortis.
5. Wawa gives their hoagies fun names.
I'm not saying this because I'm 5 foot, but naming a hoagie Shorti is just so much better than calling it a plain hoagie (or "sub" as some may say). And how cute is little junior?
6. Wawa has a bird in their logo.
And what does Sheetz have? Words.
7. Wawa looks nice inside.
Wawa is so homey on the inside. With comforting soft browns and tans, rather than the aggressive bright red that a certain competitor uses (hint it rhymes with beets).
8. Wawa's mac and cheese.
So I'm pretty certain that their mac and cheese is Stouffer's brand because if not, they are shockingly similar. But something about being served in those high quality paper cups makes it such an important part of my life.
9. Wawa has a university.
This is not a drill. It is not too late to transfer. Chase your dreams and do what you love.
10. Wawa has a catchy slogan.
Gottahava Wawa. Pure genius and pure truth.
11. Wawa knows how to spell properly.
All of Sheetz items use a Z instead of an S. Last time I checked, Burgerz and Hot Dogz are not in Webster (I checked recently). I know all you Sheetz folk are about to call Wawa out for misspelling Shorti, so I'll beat you to it- Shorti has to be a shortened word to match it's description. Adding an "e" to the word would just be counterintuitive. I digress.
So in short(i), Wawa takes the gold in this metaphorical Olympic battle against Sheetz. Wawa will always hold a special place in our east coast hearts, one that cannot be fulfilled by any amount of greasy Sheetz food. Seeing a sign for Wawa makes your insides feel all warm and happy as it is an irreplaceable part of home. I love you a lot Wawa, please never change.
