Ah. This is why I look for fairly easy car trip food, e.g. Twizzlers.
Mickey is fine in the car. He lays down on a seat most of the time and sleeps. He only starts wigging out when we're coming back and hit heavy Chicago traffic. So, I stop about an hour south of the city and put him in his carrier for the rest of the trip home.

I'm telling you -- Goldfish and mini-bottles. Easy one-handed eating with minimal possibility for crumbs and spillage.
baby carrots(lots and lots), water, diet soda , peanutbutter and honey sandwiches,some sort of cookie, and pretzels. dried fruit and apples ( the core can go out the window)
What is Locozade?
it's like British Gatorade.
Twizzlers not Red Vines! I was so happy to move back to the East Coast and get my Twizzlers back (at least I think it's a coast thing). The texture of the Red Vines never set well with me.
Longest drive I usually take is out to my parents, which is 4 hours. So I'm usually good with a 20-ounce of soda and a can of pringles.
Every time we ever transported our cats they were either on a leash held by someone other than the driver or in a cat carrier.
And goldfish are great roadtrip food!
Mr. Pibb and red vines equals crazy delicious, or so I've heard.
But do they transport you to a dreamworld of magic?
(Actually, Dr. Pepper + Red Vines = OTP. Mr. Pibb is nast. As are Twizzlers. Too slick. The Twizzlers, not Mr. Pibb.)
Goldfish gets powder on my fingers. As for bottles, they don't have to be mini. They just have to fit into my cupholder.
Cashews and Dr. Pepper (daytime) or Mountain Dew (night) are my snacks of choice on the road. But back when I was on the Atkins diet I drove to Chicago and ate a take-out steak dinner at the wheel. (I also changed clothes without slowing down on I-57, so said diet may have rendered my judgement slightly suspect...)
