[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it's really sad that people are traveling from your house in Nowheresville along a two hour road that has no stops; just tumbleweeds, on the way to Obliviontown.

Nope. Absolutely nowhere to stop and get whatever they need On Their Own.

2 dozen donuts are fine. People are so entitled. [/quote]

The whole thing is weird. They are all meeting Friday morning to separately drive 2 hours to visit someone else? Why not just meet there. My kids would be annoyed at having to get up extra early to do this and don't care about donut that much to need 3-4 they would rather sleep longer.[/quote]

Op here. The other family is not local. They’ve flown in and rented a car. We are here in the General region, so familiar with the route to the other home. They plan to follow us in their rental car.

Because this is grab and go, I’m thinking whatever is simplest. I pictured everyone could grab and go with the donut, cup of coffee, juice, milk, water. No heating required, no silverware needed, kids don’t need help to eat it, etc.. just how many would be needed. Donuts don’t keep well for days in my experience they get hard and dry pretty quickly.

In keeping it grab and go, I did consider fruit though I’ve seen a few comments of not liking bananas or oranges which are probably the easiest grab and go fruits. Maybe apples too? I’m not sure of dairy vs. soy preferences for yogurts but I could grab a mix of both packs. There’s a nut allergy so nuts are out. [b]Eggs to the other points raised are a variable in how people like them cooked, bagels may be as well? Toasted vs. Not toasted, types or flavors of cream cheese, flavors of bagels, kids need help cutting the unsliced ones. [/b]Less of a quick if you’re interested in one grab it choice.

Overall, I’m seeking something to offer that is very easy to grab and go. That would appeal to mixed age group and wouldn’t need much if any customization. [/quote]
I don't understand this. Donuts also have options around which people have strong preferences (glazed, un-glazed, chocolate, jelly, powdered, etc). I personally cannot stand glazed or jelly-filled donuts. [b]And unsliced, fresh bagels are commonly eaten without slicing. [/b]Do whatever you want, but this is an odd reason to buy donuts and nothing else. I also think donuts are really messy in the car, especially with little kids.[/quote]

I live in NYC and I don't think this is common at all. [/quote]
