Ooo, so close. We were looking for Andy Capp's Hot Fries! Even better than the cheddar variety...

To each their own! I am a wuss. ;)

They're honestly not crazy-spicy, just a good flavor!

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 1y

I'll have to try them the next time I'm at the gas station then!

Andy Capp use to have a version called “salsa fires” and they were the superior Andy Capp fry. But alas, they discontinued them many years ago.

Hey, I remember salsa fries! Those were really good, but I still prefer the Hot Fries...

Slim Jim’s. Don’t tell me what the real ingredients are; I don’t want to know. Leave me with this one last glimmer of happiness in my life.

Roasted unsalted cashews, pre-rinsed grapes off the vines. Shelled pistachios. Blueberries, if they don't have to sit in a hot car.

Combos

severalkittens@ani.social · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Specifically pizza pretzel

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 1y

OK, but what about pepperoni pizza flavor?

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 1y

Heck yeah, my favorite flavor of Combos!

dmention7@midwest.social · 4 pts · 1y

The only correct answer besides Twizzlers and sunflower seeds.

I'm gonna go against the grain and declare for team Cheddar Pretzel tho!

MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Those are so yummy!

When we road trip to breweries my gal makes up a "Snacklebox".

Amazing. Props to your gal!

MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

She's a keeper. She brought up her 3 adult girls essentially on her own. Dick of a dad.

Jerky. Lasts a little while, protein actually sticks around for the food/filling functionality of eating snacks

itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Cheddar cheese pretzel is my Combos pick every time

FarmTaco@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

it aint a road trip without combos

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

Very solid!

iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y

Holy shit this picture just brought back decades old nostalgia.

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 1y

A good beef jerky is my go-to. Normally I'm a chocoholic, but chocolate isn't great as a road trip snack.

Zombiepirate@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

Salted sunflower seeds

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Trolli sour gummy worms.

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

Love those!

funbreaker@piefed.social · 6 pts · 1y

Jerky, mixed nuts, and M&Ms.

Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 1y

Garden Salsa Sun Chips.

originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com · 5 pts · 1y

cereal. so many textures to choose from!

capt crunch is a clear fav though

Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 1y

Jerky and extra toasty cheez its.

LovableSidekick@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

My favorite snack is also Value Size!

obinice@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

If Andy Capp actually had his own line of pub crisps like this mock up it would be hilarious, I'd have to try them 😂

I still read Andy Capp from time to time, used to see him in the Mirror but now I get him online!

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 1y

This is real! Do they not have them where you are from?

The hot fries are my fave.

pslightlypsycho47@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Popcorn, preferably white cheddar.

agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

Exclusively white cheddar.

BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

I didn't know they made anything but hot fries.

Too messy for me. I'm a gummy bears and red bull car tripper.

Ahh, the good old days, when a wife beating drunk was next to Dennis the Menace on every comic page.

Almacca@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y

To be fair, the wife gave as good as she got. Domestic violence is high-larious dontyouknow.

aturtlesdream@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Pringles, licorice (stick variety like nibs) and some nuts usually cashews

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Mmm pringles. original or do you have a preferred flavor?

aturtlesdream@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Usually sour cream and onion is my go too

billwashere@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Funyuns, donut sticks, and pecan twirls.

other_cat@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

Funyuns are straight up addictive.

Daze@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

The andy capp's are absolutely correct. Good girl

But even above that, for me it's specifically shredded beef jerky. Cheap, sits nicely in the car door handle, don't have to look to take a hit, can be enjoyed with coffee, 4 or 5 usually last the whole 16 hours. Can't be beaten.

ooo one time i had some really buttery pretzel twists(?) idk the name or brand but they were so yummy

Daze@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

Gotta be Dot's! If they were the well-seasoned type.

Tikiporch@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

For long trips, inevitably I'll down at least one coconut Red Bull and a packet of mini donuts. A concha if they have one of those stands with Bimbo pastries and sweets.

BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I can't find those here anymore, but they were AMAZING. They're insanely expensive on Amazon.

starlinguk@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Cheddars. Sadly they don't sell them in Germany.

i bring a poop tube like hikers use so that i can shit constantly

Alexstarfire@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I wouldn't typically judge a person's snack choice, but I've reconcidered.

nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 0 pts · 1y

considerations are usually the problem
