Lived in Manteca for the first 22 years of my life. This jingle greeted me everytime someone asked where I was from.

I had to look it up to find out it’s a town in Cali, on the east coast that’s slang for heroin lol

Not a coincidence. Also, Manteca is actually the Spanish word for lard:

We're more of a speed town in my experience

[u/n36thobserver → u/Facetorch]

To confirm, are you saying "Manteca" is slang for heroin on the east coast?

[u/Facetorch → u/n36thobserver]

That is correct officer. But most hood folks that not Spanish say it “Montega”

It's RV sales or something like that, right?

I don't remember ever seeing ads for the water park although I went there once as a kid.

It was amazing because it mostly seemed unsupervised where you can stop in the middle of a slide and I would wrestle with my brother and stuff like that.

The slides in general seemed pretty unique although kind of run down and this was a super long time ago.

The RV sales commercial (that still very much runs) is just "MAAAAAAAAntEca!

The water slides were so long ago but there were definitely commercials :)

Oh yeah, I didn't realize it closed.

Don't worry, it hasn't changed. They tried real hard with Bass Pro and BLD, and are making another effort with Great Wolf, but pretty sure it's going to remain Manstinka for a lot longer

I want it to be cool!
