Many of us are about to hit the open road this weekend.

I will be driving about 4 hrs to get away from everything this weekend.

In getting ready for my mini road trip I began thinking about what snacks and drinks I want to get before heading out.

RedBull will be among the things I pick up, not that the trip itself is long, but I would like to have energy for activities when I arrive at my destination.

But I’m still a bit lost on what things I would like to munch on. On longer road trips, I usually buy a salty snack or two and a sweet snack or two and I try to avoid Cheese powder snacks like Cheetos and Flaming Hot Cheetos.

My usual top 5 snacks:

1) Honey Roasted Peanuts or Peanut M&Ms
2) Reese’s Pieces or Snickers or Whatchamacallit
3) Sour Cream and Onion Ruffles
4) Teriyaki Beef Jerky
5) Gummy Bears or Gummy Peach Rings

Go to drinks:

RedBull
Coca-Cola
7-Up
Water
Iced Milk Tea

What are your goto roadtrip drinks and snacks?

I usually don’t bother with pre-packed snacks because I enjoy getting out of the car at random times and wandering around the mini store. Just to break things up, see what weird stuff I can find for sale, move about. that kinda thing. That and the fact that 4 hours in a car really isn’t that big a drive for Utah.

yea, i hear ya. 4 hours is what i call a no stopper when im driving by myself save for maybe a bathroom break and maybe food if im stopping for the bathroom.

Im driving up with my gf, so its for sure at least a 1 stopper.

I used to drive from san fran, to LA then to vegas and i would try my darnedest to keep that to a 2 stopper, but if me and my friends managed to leave LA early enough, it would turn into a 3 stopper thanks to a little shopping at the barstow outlets...

Coming home was horrid, but i could usually get away with only a 2 stopper. One between Vegas and LA and one between LA and SF.

I actually can’t stand normal coke. I find it too sweet.

Although sour cream and onion ruffles are amazing

i just cant stand the taste of aspartame or artificial sweeteners...

i usually mix diet drinks with booze so that i dont notice the chemical flavor LMFAO

It is a bit chemically but I kinda like it. I totally see how you think it’s nasty though. coke zero however is still a bridge too far.
