Brendan Boyle, an ardent Wawa fan, penned op-eds for The Inquirer debating the merits of each chain. In 2021, they participated in a Wawa vs. Sheetz debate on Zoom hosted by City & State Pennsylvania." Philadelphia Inquirer

  •   @Dan Leonard: This fun article is long enough, new enough, well-sourced, and presentable. All three hooks are sourced, however I think ALT2 might be outright false. Knoxville certainly has a Wawa tattoo on his bicep (per this primary source, among others), but the only other source referring to Margera's (PhillyMag) cites a joint interview of Margera and Knoxville and says "It’s right above a tattoo of Leon Spinks", which is exactly where Knoxville has his. So unless they have otherwise unattested matching tattoos, the authors of that AdWeek article probably have it wrong. To be careful about BLP, I'll remove it as a hook and from the article. The other two hooks are both interesting, but I think ALT1 has the widest appeal. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 01:49, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
