Of course, reading this conversation reminds me that I don't really like snack food.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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

It's been months since I had a Tasty Kake.
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.

Yeah, that never worked with us (though just two of us.) We turned annoying into an art form.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Mmmm, my mental roadtrip is Fairbanks to Anchorage. 350 miles, 6 to 6.5 hours, 3 gas stations, 1 honkin' big mountain range. We must have made that trip once every two weeks or so in the summers after we got our drivers licenses, once just to see Much Ado About Nothing in the theater. This was, of course, back when gas was still hovering around $1 - $1.25/gallon.
