Cowboy-hatted Swedish World Cup fan should be Buc-ee’s next spokesman after singing its praises on local TV
The fan praised the beef jerky and cowboy style after a reporter asked about his hat during World Cup coverage
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Swedish soccer fans descended on Texas this week to watch their team take on the Netherlands in the World Cup.
And, of course, a trip to Texas leads to some discoveries, including one big, beaver-mascotted gas station.
That's right: Buc-ee's.

And if the brisket-slingin' convenience store chain needs a new spokesperson — a human one — I think we may have found the guy.
Houston's KHOU was chatting with World Cup fans, something most local news stations have realized is usually gold, Jerry.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}One reporter decided to ask a Sweden supporter about his cowboy hat, and wound up getting a Buc-ee's commercial.
"From Buc-ee's!" the fan said when asked where he got his Texas-sized lid. "So go, Buc-ee's. Great place. I love the beef jerky. We love the cowboy style!"
Of all the things the rest of the world has discovered about America in the last week and a half, nothing seems to shatter brains quite like Buc-ee's.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}I mean, it shatters American brains. The first time I walked in, my head was spinning. There were cartoon beavers everywhere, brisket sandwiches far better than any gas station should be able to produce, and a bar of jerky (and a wall of jerky next to it for the impatient or antisocial). They even sold artwork in the immaculate bathrooms!

Now, imagine coming from Linköping or Malmö, where you've never seen a soda cup bigger than 20 oz., and wandering into Buc-ee's.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Yeah, I'd buy a cowboy hat and start shilling for them on television too.

Unfortunately for this Swedish fan and his pals, it was a rough day for the team. The Dutch put on an absolute show and annihilated them 5-1 to take control of Group F.
