HEB stores serve as a kind of Texas landmark like Buc-ees, Whataburger, and those old Eckerd pharmacies. Get lost in Texas, look up at a light, and there it will be, offering roughly the same experience anywhere. HEB also stocks pipe tobacco and has recently added “Tin Star.”

After spending years analyzing political propaganda and bad philosophy, you might think that manipulation reveals itself like flatus in an elevator, but it does not. You get lulled in, doze off in your inner critical faculty, and then suddenly wake up screaming once the horror becomes too real.
