best road trip snacks - eatin' and drivin'

[Grundlejungle]

I'm about to drive about 2000 miles, and I want snack suggestions. We'll have a small cooler, but I'm looking for stuff that doesn't require any refrigeration or cooking.

 

[Yandex Captcha Solver]

Nuts, beef jerky, and some bananas or apples are my usual go to. With a cooler I recommend packing a lot of sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, and drinks. If you don't have any cooler space, just grab a cheap styrofoam cooler for $10 and load it up. It'll pay for itself the first time you don't grab a sandwich and soda at a gas station. To maximize space you can freeze water bottles as ice, then drink them when they unfreeze, putting in more water bottles as space affords.

my mom and I used to grab a bag of Munchos and Bugles on the 8 hour drive up to visit my grandparents. If I try to eat those chips nowadays I am just immediately reminded of those car rides. So much fun

I don’t know if you can get them in the US but nakd bars are my go to for eating while driving/on long journeys. The peanut butter one tastes great and being pressed they make no crumbs.

Licorice all-sorts

 

[Neodanthril]

If you want to minmax xylitol tablets so you drink as little as possible and therefore minimize rest stops.

I'm partial to peanut butter balls, quite filling and tasty https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/no-bake-energy-balls/#wprm-recipe-container-34087

Car Twizzlers.

 

[The Blue Morpho]

You should stop every 2-3 hours and stretch your legs to avoid developing a blood cot. Just buy a snack during these stops and eat it there.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

Pork rinds are pretty solid.

 

[Count Grishnackh]

Funyuns or Pringles, and beef jerky.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

2000 miles?! I hope that pussy is good.
Bugles (preferred flavor) you can wear them on your fingers and eat as you go. If this happens to be a road trip with friends, hotdogs. Not only are they a quick snack, but a weapon that you can smack or throw at fellow roadtrippers.

dried mangos

When I'm feeling low on Red 40, I like to eat a bag of Takis.
