Just because your junk food, sorry, “light snack” has a French name doesn’t make it not junk food LOL
They are in fact light and airy. And it’s junk food, of course, but is made with real butter and sugar, not chemical oils and HFCS like most of the stuff in this thread.
The one time I got them they tasted horribly processed to me. Perhaps my palate is simply more refined? I also can’t drink Starbucks as it’s too burnt tasting.

I have not had pringles in years, but I see the appeal on a road trip.
for me: peanut m&ms, combos - must be pretzel, honey wheat pretzels, and salt & vinegar chips
and some sort of fast food, preferably stuffed pretzel or chicken nuggets or chicken sandwich

The powered cheesy, cool ranch, etc. chips and snack foods smell so bad in a small closed space, then there is the finger residue and people licking their fingers constantly or kids wiping them on clothes
Makes me nauseated.
No one invited you anyways.

I’ve never had combos, maybe I’ll try them next time.
The only fast food I actually get excited about is In n Out. Wish they existed in the east!
Are we talking about stuff to nibble on between meals or what to eat for meals?
I'd be tempted to drive in the direction of Pal's and/or Culver's
Both. I eat plenty of fast food in my regular life so on road trips I like to search for those well rated local roadside attraction type eateries.

Drinking your calories is not as satisfying as grazing/pacing yourself with combos( as mentioned upthread) or with other nibbly junk food

I can’t imagine why you’d need a bathroom; you seem very tightly corked
