All Cracker Barrels are just checkpoints for an underground wormhole network funded by the US government. They don’t only all look the same, they ARE the same. When entering a Cracker Barrel, you’re actually going through a wormhole to a centralized Cracker Barrel located on a remote island. However, citizens do not have access to the network and cannot change the location output, therefore leading them to the same place they came in through.

Not only is Cracker Barrel a convenient covert transportation method, it’s also the leading method of biochemical human experimentation. You really thought that was just your average fuel for a road trip? They’ve already got teleportation under their belts, they definitely have more tricks in store for us. Why else would a “*restaurant*” be the center of all this? If an experiment fails, disposing of the evidence couldn’t be any easier! And if you want something to go, the containers are endothermic so that the experimental chemicals evaporate into the vents (leading out onto the island).

Lastly, the peg games are testing instruments for the remaining population after the artificially caused apocalypse. Anyone smart enough to solve such a puzzle perfectly is suitable to sustain life on their own.

So next time you go to a Cracker Barrel, think about what you’re really getting yourself into…
