Stay Positive: Road Trip Food

What people eat when they're on a road trip tells something about their character, style, and taste. 

For me, I have staples that I eat when I grab something from a gas station. Junk food might give people a perspective on others' troubled souls.

Here are my regular choices:

Jack Link's Peppered Beef "Steak"





Andy Capp's Hot Fries or Cheddar Fries





Snapple, Peach flavor if available 




Royal Crown cola 




My So-Called Thoughts
I'm a fan of peppered beef. That stuff is just delicious. I don't think cooks use pepper enough in their dishes. 

While the Andy Capp comic is sketchy at times (a strip that portrays an alcoholic ne'er-do-well), I love that dude's "fries." 

Snapple is just damn good tea. 

When the cola wars were happening back in the 80s, I was voting third party. I don't usually drink pop much anymore, but when I do, I choose RC. 

If you're intrigued by RC, check out "The Tragic History of RC Cola" on Mental Floss. 

If you're so inclined, I'd like to read about your staples for road trip food in the comments.

The first thing I do when I hit the road is stop at a gas station. I load up on the following: fountain drink (pepsi..lots of ice....so I can chew it and make people crazy), sour patch kids, and altoids.

They get me by.

So you go the sweet route, and I go savory. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
