      Yes. King of the Hill, Dr. Pepper, Whataburger, Bucc-ee’s, and the Alamo. Pretty much it.

      I really don’t think there is. Other than the aforementioned hate. I’ve been thinking about this for like 15 minutes since I saw your comment and I got nothing.

    Unfortunately the article is paywalled. I think FNL might take issue with the title.
