[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one ever said “Oh good! You packed the carrot sticks.”

I mean, yes, they and the bell peppers, apples, etc. are an important part of UMC virtue-signaling on long drives. “It’s OK to stop at McDonalds this one time. We’re not REALLY people who eat there.”

But I think OP was asking about the treat items, the stuff that you don’t normally buy but go with road trips like popcorn and movie theaters. For me, it’s a can of Pringles. For kids, Doritos.

(Now cue all the people saying “But MY kids really do like carrot sticks!”)[/quote]

If I eat nothing but convenience store snax, I feel icky and have to stop snacking entirely, and that's no good. But if I throw a little something marginally healthful down there too, I can enjoy my highly processed treats just fine.

The trick is finding healthful stuff that isn't a sticky mess.[/quote]

God forbid you have to refrain from eating every hour or two. [/quote]

Right? Reminds me of my son’s friends who came with us on a somewhat long road trip. They were 14 or 15 and when we explained we were going to hold off on lunch until late afternoon so we could arrive at the hotel a hour sooner they had a meltdown.[/quote]

Seriously?? They're teen boys! Of course they're hungry. [/quote]
