Last week, I went with my husband to visit my family in NY. Driving for over five hours, we inevitably got hungry and needed a snack. As we stopped for gas, I perused the aisles of the gas station for a good combination. There were stale donuts, ten different types of coffee, cookies, chips, and hot dogs that looked like they had been roasting since morning.
A trait that my husband loves about me (ha,ha) is my lack of decision-making ability. I wandered the aisles for five or ten minutes looking for just the right snack. I ended up with a Yoo-hoo (which I am pretty sure I have only ever had on road trips) and Tastycake cupcakes.
Really low in fat, I am sure! I think there is some kind of unwritten rule about roadtrips and calories. You are allowed to eat anything you want in the car and the calories go to some kind of road trip vortex.
You might wonder how I know about this vortex...well I have been in youth ministry for over nine years and I have seen it all, from Mt. Dew and Doritos to Krispy Cremes and Orange Crush. Teenagers need lots of fuel and their leaders need lots of coffee!
What's your favorite road trip food?
