We had to stop for gas on the way back from Wyoming. At the exit it was toss-up between a Shell station and Kum & Go. Does anyone else find that name funny? And the marketing promotion: "Nothing says 'They were all out of flowers' like a Kum & Go" gift card. The gas price – $2.42 a gallon! – made me smile, too.
Cool! It was as low as $1.99 here.
ReplyDeleteI love that name! Much nore interesting that Shel.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very funny name. And you can bet that thousands of teenage boys have made all the predictable jokes over the years.
ReplyDeleteThe first Kum & Go I encountered was in Leadville, and I know I've seen others in Colo too. There's a U-Gas-Em in Alma. The name reminds me of bars call the Do Drop Inn and other pure Americana-type names. You betcha. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a running joke that a Kum-n-Go lighter never lasts on the Ranch. It'll be pocketed the second your eyes are averted. That's why I use minis with lil' band-aids on them like Hello Kitty (a shout out to DG) and Sponge Bob.
ReplyDeletehehe... hehehehe... okay, no wait... hehehe. It is funny. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI first came across them in Missouri. We laughed. This summer I saw them all over on I-70. Glenwood Springs, too. I need to go fill up my van while prices are still this low. Over $2 and low?! See how we get used to it?
ReplyDeleteWe had Kum & Go in Iowa. I'll be the one to say it: we called it "Ejaculate and Evacuate."
ReplyDeleteYes, it is funny! Who names a shop "Kum & Go"?
Duck, wow, that's low!
ReplyDeleteMOB, that's why I picked it.Discerning consumer that I am.
Pam, oh yes, and adult females.
Claire, boy howdy!
Titus, I didn't scope out their products. I'm sure they're popular.
Mimi, glad to give you a chuckle!
Manisha, I know! Enjoying it while we can.
Groovy, that's perfect!
