Ooo, so close. We were looking for Andy Capp's Hot Fries! Even better than the cheddar variety...

To each their own! I am a wuss. ;)
They're honestly not crazy-spicy, just a good flavor!
I'll have to try them the next time I'm at the gas station then!
Andy Capp use to have a version called “salsa fires” and they were the superior Andy Capp fry. But alas, they discontinued them many years ago.
Hey, I remember salsa fries! Those were really good, but I still prefer the Hot Fries...
Slim Jim’s. Don’t tell me what the real ingredients are; I don’t want to know. Leave me with this one last glimmer of happiness in my life.
Roasted unsalted cashews, pre-rinsed grapes off the vines. Shelled pistachios. Blueberries, if they don't have to sit in a hot car.
I can't be trusted around shelled pistachios. I will eat myself sick in no time.
Those are so yummy!
When we road trip to breweries my gal makes up a "Snacklebox".
Amazing. Props to your gal!
She's a keeper. She brought up her 3 adult girls essentially on her own. Dick of a dad.
Holy shit this picture just brought back decades old nostalgia.
A good beef jerky is my go-to. Normally I'm a chocoholic, but chocolate isn't great as a road trip snack.
Jerky, mixed nuts, and M&Ms.
Trolli sour gummy worms.
Love those!
Salted sunflower seeds
Garden Salsa Sun Chips.
cereal. so many textures to choose from!
capt crunch is a clear fav though
I didn't know they made anything but hot fries.
Too messy for me. I'm a gummy bears and red bull car tripper.
Jerky and extra toasty cheez its.
Ahh, the good old days, when a wife beating drunk was next to Dennis the Menace on every comic page.
To be fair, the wife gave as good as she got. Domestic violence is high-larious dontyouknow.
Popcorn, preferably white cheddar.
Exclusively white cheddar.
My favorite snack is also Value Size!
Funyuns, donut sticks, and pecan twirls.
Funyuns are straight up addictive.
Pringles, licorice (stick variety like nibs) and some nuts usually cashews
Mmm pringles. original or do you have a preferred flavor?
Usually sour cream and onion is my go too
If Andy Capp actually had his own line of pub crisps like this mock up it would be hilarious, I'd have to try them 😂
I still read Andy Capp from time to time, used to see him in the Mirror but now I get him online!
This is real! Do they not have them where you are from?
The andy capp's are absolutely correct. Good girl
But even above that, for me it's specifically shredded beef jerky. Cheap, sits nicely in the car door handle, don't have to look to take a hit, can be enjoyed with coffee, 4 or 5 usually last the whole 16 hours. Can't be beaten.
Say good bye to a family sized bag of veggie-all chips..
Cheddars. Sadly they don't sell them in Germany.
I can't find those here anymore, but they were AMAZING. They're insanely expensive on Amazon.
ooo one time i had some really buttery pretzel twists(?) idk the name or brand but they were so yummy
Gotta be Dot's! If they were the well-seasoned type.
A green smoothie: slow burning calories
For long trips, inevitably I'll down at least one coconut Red Bull and a packet of mini donuts. A concha if they have one of those stands with Bimbo pastries and sweets.
i bring a poop tube like hikers use so that i can shit constantly
I wouldn't typically judge a person's snack choice, but I've reconcidered.
considerations are usually the problem
