I was unaware this is what it was called and that it was a “thing” until about a year ago.
In the fall of 2018 I was on a solo road trip into Georgia, I had got to my destination went to leave and stopped to get gas. Upon entering the gas station every thing was suddenly different. It was an indescribable feeling. Something had changed. I went to pay for my gas and I noticed behind the counter non of the tobacco products had any warning labels and they all looked very dated and different. There was no card reader on the counter for credit cards. The prices of things on the racks were a 1/3 of what they are today. Designs on the smokeless tobacco cans looked like they were from 1999 or 2000. I noticed all the drinks and sodas in the store also had dated and old labels on them. I asked the woman behind the counter why they were selling outdated tobacco and drinks. She handed me a can and said everything was fresh and not out of date and the date expired July of 2000. At this point I could not believe what I was seeing. It freaked me out so bad I left. I drove 20 miles down the road and got gas elsewhere. To this day I have looked everywhere on google maps and cannot locate this gas station. There is simply nothing there.
