SHEETZ GINGERBREAD LATTE REVIEW (VIDEO)

Heading home to points north or south for Thanksgiving and Black Friday? You might just pass by a Sheetz on the way there, unless you're lucky enough to have one in your home town. If you find yourself at Sheetz, you'll want to try their new Gingerbread Latte. How does it compare to the Pumpkin Pie Latte? Is it worth the (reasonable) price?

Watch my review to find out, and also get some free Black Friday shopping advice from our resident "expert."

SHEETZ PUMPKIN PIE LATTE REVIEW (VIDEO) - HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN

The Halloween Countdown continues on the Robert Dyer Channel. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are a dime-a-dozen these fall days (except for McDonald's odd decision to not bring theirs back this year), but I stumbled across an alternative to the ubiquitous beverage while on the road this weekend.

Sheetz has a different concept - a Pumpkin Pie Latte, rather than Pumpkin Spice. The ordering process is unique as well at Sheetz. The convenience store and mega gas station eliminates the need to use Starbucks lingo at the counter (and the often misspelled name on your cup) by letting you place the order on a touchscreen. Pick exactly what you want added to your coffee on the screen (including an extra shot of pumpkin pie flavor or an espresso shot), pay at the cashier counter, and wait for your number to be called to pick up your Pumpkin Pie Latte.

Was it worth the (short) wait? Watch my review to find out. Sheetz is in several nearby states, including Maryland (of course), Virginia, West Virginia, and its home base of Pennsylvania.
