I think I have a coffee mug from them somewhere around here. I can't remember the states they are in though.

Personally I thought that a bumper sticker saying "Burger me with a corn dog" would have put an end to them, but their own food did that.

Kum & Go should open a cheap motel chain.

I used to have a 64-ounce insulated mug from them. Refills were 99¢.

Hmmmm... I wonder where it went? I remember it was red-on-light-gray, with a red lid. I had a 32-oz one that was green with a black lid.

Why do I remember this???

keep one for me and give the other/s to friends. everyone loves them and no one could tell me they didn't swipe my lighter.

they've expanded to colorado now, so it's not quite as novel, but i know one thing that'll be in my stocking
