I drive by a Duke/Duchess affiliated truck stop each day on the way to work. It's right off a major interstate and the sign out in front has been advertising Choreboys for sale. This was very puzzeling to me at first; why would people who frequent truck stops be interested in buying something to scrub pots and pans with? It seemed to be an unusual thing for a truck stop to advertise.
I did some online research and discovered that Choreboys are also used to facilitate smoking crack cocaine. My conclusion is that this truck stop may be trying to cater to people who engage in that sort of illegal activity. I find this to be very disturbing.especially when so many peoples' lifes have been destroyed by crack.
If there is any other logical explanation for this, I'd like to know. Has anyone else notice truck stops agressively advertising Choreboys? If corporations like Duke/Duchess are targeting illegal drug users as customers, they should be ashamed of themselves!

Been a trucker for 5 years and travel all over the country. Never even noticed any type of Chore Boy or steel wool in any truck stop, anywhere (though I imagine they are available). This isn't a common thing.
Contact the corporation and express your concern.....I agree it's likely to get the attention of crackheads, who else would be buying Chore Boy at the local truck stop if they needed it to clean dishes? However, if I may take a *wild* guess...if you're talking about the Duke/Duchess truck stop in Ohio near Columbus....I think that particular one is in a crappy part of town where crack is probably prevalent.
I may be wrong on the location, but wherever it's at, I doubt it's the truckers buying the Chore Boy....nowadays everyone is randomly drug tested so drug use among truckers is at a very small percentage. They're targeting the local, neighborhood crack heads.
