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!”)
You’re wrong. Our road trip snacks consist of grape tomatoes, apples, cheese sticks, berries, nuts.
