    I remember trying Copenhagen in high school. It was during English class. A fellow classmate talked me into trying some. There was no where to spit. That left only one option: to swallow.

    Made me sick. I would have ralphed if I had eaten lunch. Couldn't walk home right away. Waited over an hour to recover enough for the walk home.

    Never again.

    A good friend of mine wanted to try it in 9th grade history class, 2nd period. I handed him a call of Skoal wintergreen and about 5 mins later he was as white as a ghost and he shakingly raised his hand and asked to use the restroom, which was right across the hall. You could hear him puking from the classroom and I ended up getting sent to the principals office because I wouldn't stop laughing

    It must depend on the station. Everywhere I've filled up in Mass, I've had to do one side at a time. Didn't know WTF was going on the first time. I thought the satellite pump was broke.

    And as long as I was out there this is the first time I ever heard of this law in Mass. The only stop in Mass I ever remember fueling at was the one in Sturbridge off of I-84 at the US20 exit. And they pumped it for you. Think that place is gone now.

    IIRC, it was a zoning issue that the town wouldn’t let pilot open the big building

    still haven’t been in there, in that area, I hit Flynn’s for fuel and shower, then run down the road To 99 but I don’t usually wind up in that area any more, usually fuel in Westfield on the way in then shower in Chicopee (their fuel sucks and is usually 20c a gallon more) or methuen on the way out, especially in winter since Irving heavily cuts with #2 have a few places along MA rt2 as well to hide.

    I’m way more familiar with the area then I’d like to be

    also that pride in Hartford is finally open to with fuel and showers

    It used to be but you can run both pumps at the same time at the truck stop now. Last time I was there they were rebuilding,they had taken out the CAT scale so if you needed to weigh a load you had to go elsewhere.
