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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

That used to be mine (well, more like several 8 hour days and camping) until I drove from NC to NM in 2 days on my own. That's now my mental roadtrip.

Nah, not when you've got The World's Greatest Travel Game! Also, it helps to take the trip every year, starting with very young kids, so that they're good and used to it by the time they're old enough to be annoying. Oh, and the car should be a full-sized van, so there's room for all 6 passengers to stretch out.
