New Wawa Pizza Commercial Starring The Cast Of… Jersey Shore?

Wawa has recruited the cast of Jersey Shore to promote their new menu item. We're having trouble fully grasping this situation.

The Delco based company can do no wrong in our eyes. But this is a making us a little... uncomfortable. And it's completely territorially and totally selfish.

In the new commercial, Vinny Guadagnino, DJ Pauly D, and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino are wandering through a Wawa store like any of us would. Pauly glances up at the screens above the deli counter and notices pizza on the menu.

He yells over to Vinny who is at the Iced Tea section of the refrigerator case. "Wawa has pizza," is tossed back and forth as both a statement and a question between the MTV stars. Across the store, The Situation pours a cup of coffee. He gets the "pizza" call, and all three converge to grab a slice of delicious looking pie.

At the very end of the ad, the GTL-loving crew hop into a bright blue 1958 Edsel Corsair. It's at this moment when we realize that they were at the famous Doo-Wop-themed Wawa in Wildwood.

Hold up. That's our Wawa!

A quick google search shows that there is a Wawa on Rt 37 in Tom's River, a nine minute drive from their house at house in Seaside Heights. That's their Wawa.

Sorry to turn into the Sharks and the Jets here, but we've spent the last decade separating ourselves from the Jersey Shore debacle. Explaining to outsiders that we go to the Jersey shore... but not that Jersey shore has become second nature. So to have these guys representing our favorite convenience store, at our favorite shore point is an ego check.

On the other hand, maybe this is a bonding moment? We've never really found common ground with Vinny Guadagnino, Pauly D, and The Situation. Maybe Wawa pizza will bring us all together to live in harmony. It is the first rule of Wawa, be nice! So here we are, extending an olive branch to the cast of the Jersey Shore.

Wawa Pizzas are available now, everyday after 4pm. The menu options include plain, peperoni, sausage, mushroom, veggie, and supreme. Try one today!

It's not every day that you win big. Like $1000 big. But when you do, you'll start looking around for cool ways you can spend $1000 in and around Philadelphia. What’s better than some throwing-around money?

There are tons of ways to spend in Philadelphia and its surrounding areas. Some extra moola in your bank is a great thing. You can have fun in ways you never thought of before. The world is open to you when you're open to spending some cold hard cash.

You can’t always throw a grand at something. When do you ever have that much money just lying around? You ought to spend it right and use it on something that you will really value. Or, spend it on something fun and temporary. We won't judge.

$1000 is not chump change. Having it will change how you look at the price of almost anything. Coming into that cash helps make life and shopping more fun. Whatever you want is yours with $1000 of play money.

Now, it can be overwhelming to decide what to do with it. After some very scientific brainstorming, we have a few ideas… 

Winning the cash contest would cover that Wawa coffee you pick up on the way to work every morning. You’d have to buying a 20 oz regular blend hot coffee every weekday for a year and a half to spend this much cash.

Lower level Seats to Eagles-Cowboys on Sunday, November 5 are going for around $500. Grab a pair with your $1000 to see the Birds take on their hated arch-rival. 

For $1000, you could rent a house in Sea Isle City. For example, this house is $141/night x for nights. If you add the $100 cleaning fee, plus $153 service fees, you'd only be paying $958. So, treat yourself to a meal at Uncle Oogie's!

The lucky winner of $1000 will have enough money to cover about 76 "whiz wit" cheesesteaks from Steve’s Prince of Steaks in Northeast Philly. That’s roughly one cheesesteak per week for a year and a half. It sounds like it could help you get through a weekday morning with a little something to look forward to on your lunch break.

Queen + Adam Lambert will visit the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday, October 18 in one of the area’s biggest upcoming concerts. Spend your new cash on some seats for the Rhapsody Tour. 

Every year when the fall season rolls around, a trip to “The Sweetest Place on Earth” becomes more and more tempting. You don’t have to limit yourself to just the Halloween celebrations though. Winning the cash contest would cover you for season passes for a family of four!
