Is it safe to lunch? I had a Wawa "shortie" Italian hoagie and a bag of Fritos. Am I in danger? ![]() Andy --- Best of BUMS!!! From whence comes the 'Wawa'? From what I know, Wawa is a town in Northern Ontario, Canada which sports a statue of a goose within the town limits. If you try and hitch hike out of Wawa, you will not get any where. Many hitch hikers have given up and settled down in Wawa. check out the size of this goose: http://www.roadsideattractions.ca/goose.htm For lunch, I'm having tossed salad(with the addition of some kidney beans), and a bowl of chicken vegetable soup, and a quarter chicken (leg left over from last night). |

It's a dairy in Pennsylvania (in a town of the same name), both named for a native American word for Canadian goose. The dairy begat a convenience store chain, which was (in my youth) highly localized but has now expanded through several states on the East Coast. pat |

: Same idea. It's a dairy in Pennsylvania (in a town of the same name), both named for a native American word for Canadian goose. The town of Wawa is only large enough to contain their corporate offices. It was a cute gimmick just to put Wawa "on the map." There are no residents in Wawa, PA. Andy |

Yes, it surely does. I have been there - just to see that goose! And Wawa is an American Indian language (not which one) word for the Canada goose.
