Okay, i’ll bite and try to answer these. Without knowing any details of which chain and where exactly this station is located (in a city/town or right off a motorway/interstate?)

A lot of “truck stop” type stations are this big to accommodate large vehicles and potential larger trailers they might be towing. Like a 3/4ton pickup with a huge 5th wheel trailer. Or even Class A/C motorhomes and RVs. These pumps likely have diesel and petrol so even large box trucks will pull in the fuel up. There are usually different areas for full tractor-trailer (lorries) but those pumps are for those trucks only. Further, the gap is three vehicles wide so a vehicle can be on a pump on either side and someone arriving or leaving can fit between them- especially if there is a case of 3 pumps in a row.

Pizza for breakfast? Judging by the picture and the title, this looks like actual Breakfast Pizza. Eggs, sausage, etc are the toppings. Had this a lot growing up just at home. And pizza style is common “grab and go” type food from gas stations since it’s easy to eat, even while driving.

Now, a cola with/for breakfast…naah. I’m with you there. That’s a bit off. But otherwise, the size is normal for a truck stop. Fountain drinks are a lot cheaper than canned or bottled of the same drink. For example 24oz bottle for $2-3 or a 48-64oz fountain for the same price or less. People are traveling when they come through here, or stopping by to grab stuff on their way to work for the whole day. So the idea is the drink is to have on hand for hours if not most of the day. The styrofoam cups are junk but a lot of people transfer to a more practical container, or some stations chains would sell their own fancy insulated cups and allow discounted refills in their cup.

How is this so cheap? Gas station food, man! Doesn’t mean it’s any good! I just covered the soda portion for pricing and a slice of pizza (breakfast or normal pepperoni) is usually only like $2. So the pricing advertised here makes sense.

Midwest is a kind of marketing thing with many layers or points. The midwest region of the States is the massive, wide-open middle section where there’s usually cattle ranching, farming and a lot of nothing. So this can be spun in a lot of ways- farmers/ranchers allegedly eat big (unhealthy) food and drinks, the midwest is big, things are cheap because nothing and no one is out there, etc. Also this gas station is likely located in the midwest and targeted towards people that are traveling through, so it’s got that “tourist” hook to it.

I think that about covers it?

In America, sometimes you have to park two tanks.

Pizza slices are easy to shove into your face while you drive for an hour to your job.

Driving is boring and sipping on a huge soft drink gets some people through it.

It is cheap because over the years the government had bailed out farmers/producers making corn, cheese, wheat, etc very cheap.

It is a breakfast pizza, I'm guessing a crap load of 'cheese' with some specks of something that could have once been called Ham. Maybe some egg product mixed in.

Generally, things are cheaper in the Midwest, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ad came from the deep south.

Ill answer all of your questions by order.

Its so big for trucks trailers, and even RVs and Semis(Lories?) this is probably a gas station by a freeway. A lot of local stations are smaller, atleast where I am.

Because its cheap as shit.

You'll usually get one and drink it over the day, especially if my freeway gas station hypothesis is correct, there are a long stretches of american highway with fuck all.

Their probably banking on you grabbing one or two more items to help even out the loss and turn it into a profit. Also government subsidies may be a factor.

I cant Identify what type of pizza that is, maybe cheese if not IDFK.

This station is probably is in the midwest and their taking the piss a bit. Ive personally come across "middle of nowhere lunch" advertisements while driving through eastern Nevada so I assume this is a similar situation.

Why is this petrol station so big? I could park 2 tanks between the petrol pumps.

People drive large vehicles here, and are often bad at it. It's necessary.

Why would you eat pizza for breakfast?

It doesn't require utensils, can be eaten while driving to work; It somewhere between 2 and 4 different food groups. Lots of advantages.

Why would you drink so much cola (this looks like 1l-1.5l to me)?

That's kinda weird, gotta admit. I much prefer coffee in the morning. It is probably the 32oz, which is a little under a liter.

How is this so cheap? They charge 4€ at my local petrol station for 0.5l of pepsi alone.

Things are cheaper in the US in general. In the Midwest especially so.

What kind of pizza is this?

There's 3 variants of the Casey's Breakfast Pizza. See for more info.

Is midwest some kind of common marketing?

In the US, anything can be marketing. Midwest is common enough that it doesn't really stand out.

Why is this petrol station so big? I could park 2 tanks between the petrol pumps.

Caseys has gas stations in extremely small towns so something they have to space the pumps for is farmers coming to fill up their tractors. It is also common practice 'round here to put 3 car widths of space between pumps to allow vehicles to drive between those that are filling. Obviously in larger cities where land is a premium they'll have fewer pumps closer together

Why would you eat pizza for breakfast

???

Please tell me this isn't an Americans-only thing. I don't understand how it could be. Do you mean to tell me when you have leftover pizza in your fridge you don't sneak a piece in the morning? What do you do? Save it for later? I don't believe you. You've never, out of curiosity, just taken a bite straight out of the fridge? At which point you'd have discovered that it is positively sublime?

Cold pizza for breakfast is one of my favorite parts about eating pizza for dinner. If this is somehow not a thing outside America, it needs to be. For once this isn't something fatter or grosser, it's just eating it at a different time of day and at a different temperature and it's life changing.

There’s no way that medium is 1-1.5L.

I’d say 32oz. 48oz at most.

It's what the people want. Mega slices of pizza and giant medium sized sodas for breakfast for 4 bucks.
