Want to be paid $1,000 just for eating Buc-ee’s food and snacks? That’s exactly what a website is offering one eager beaver. FinanceBuzz is looking for a “Buc-ee’s Bud-ee” who is willing to taste-test 25 foods from the popular roadside stop. The lucky “Bud-ee” will be paid $1,000, in addition to a $250 stipend to cover the cost of snacks and merchandise. It’s all part of a FinanceBuzz research project. Here’s the deal: the person selected must live near or be willing to travel to a Buc-ee’s and try almost any snack they offer. Among the items to be sampled include:
Buc-ee’s Beaver Nuggets
Sweet and savory kolaches
Hippo tacos
Barbecue sandwiches
Buc’ee’s Lemon Crisps
Homemade fudge
Buc-ee’s Gummi Bears
Banana pudding
Biscuits and gravy
The Buc-ee’s sampler will have to document the experience through written product reviews and photographs, which will be used as the basis for an upcoming FinanceBuzz story. Applications are due by Sept. 11. The chosen candidate will be selected by Sept. 18 and then have 2- weeks to complete the Buc-ee’s taste test.
