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...)
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Mr. Pibb? Shudder.
Magnolia Bakery? Is that the cupcake place?
ita, I thought I knew most of your issues but then there are new ones. FASCINATING. I love eating in the car. But I'm a slob.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate when the inside of my car is food-dirty. Messy and dusty's bad enough, but doesn't irritate me. Just prompts me to swear to get around to having it cleaned.
It doesn't strike me as fascinating, but I guess that's what makes a horse race.

Of course, reading this conversation reminds me that I don't really like snack food.

One of my favorite car and any other place snack foods! And something I was glad to have again when I moved back to the Mid-Atlantic.
I love snacking!

I don't like eating in the car. When I have to, I generally pack mixed nuts, fruit (usually a baggy of assorted berries), candy (M&Ms), and water.

Reminds me I don't tend to buy snack food. Unless you count cherries, but that's only a couple months out of the year. Then I'll have guests and so I'll stock up on stuff not to subject them to my unintentionally minimalist eating habits. Then they leave and I'll eat the stuff (usually) but not bother to restock until the next round.

My default mental car trip is 18 hours with 4 kids in the car, so food is kind of a must.

I'd say valium is even more of a must in that situation.
