The "dude wipes" stuck out to me.

I have a pack of dude wipes in my truck right now. They're sitting in one of the cabinets in the sleeper. The wife got them for me. I can't always get parked at a truck stop so showers aren't always available. She was grocery shopping, saw them, and was drawn in by the advertisement. She bought them to help me out with the shit I bitch about.

What I didn't tell her is that I've been using baby wipes for years in those instances that I can't access a shower. I buy them by the case from a warehouse I used to deliver to.

I can't bring myself to tell her though because she was so excited to "help" me and was so proud of herself and I appreciate that.

What I'm getting at is, dude wipes are advertising to your wives. I would hope most men would recognize that wet wipes are just that. Wet wipes.

Only difference is packaging? Same smell, strength? Oh and price, guessing they cost more.

They smell a little better. Packaging is about the same as baby wipes, but yes, more expensive.

I used to love stopping at the giant truckstop stations like "Flying J" and looking at all the niche products made for truckers. Really gave me insight into the life of truckers and stuff they deal with driving for a living. Sounds like you and your wife were meant for each other. Simple things show lots of love and mutual regard. A blessing.

Lol awesome. If you are ever in Iowa you need to visit the Iowa 80 truckstop right off of i-80 exit 284. Biggest truckstop in the world. That place is massive. Sits on 220 acres and can park 900 trucks.

For comparison, your average truckstop can only park anywhere from 50-150 trucks.

Used to go there all the time on my way to U of Iowa! Great truck stop! We actually looked forward to stopping there.

A real piece of Americana.
