How QuikTrip Nailed ‘90s Pop Culture With Its New Sitcom - Vulture

After rebranding its in-shop selection of eats and treats (think pizza, sandwiches, soft serve, and more) as snackles in 2019, QuikTrip set about cementing the term — defined as “part snack, part meal” that can “satisfy any craving at any time” — as a cultural buzzword by producing a sitcom of its own. The result, directed by SNL’s Paul Briganti, is a pastiche of gently parodying homages to many of our favorite ‘90s shows that duly conveys how characters from any era would be wowed by consuming their preferred snackle. But specifically, it surfaces all the warmth and fuzzies we get from thinking about the programming we grew up with — your must-see TV, your TGIF block, and the laugh-tracked days of yore we’ve long since left behind. Here are some of the ‘90s beats that Briganti and his cast and crew covered to perfection.
