Ah, the road trip. I find it funny that I can go hours on end without eating a thing during a normal day, but if venture out on a short road trip I feel the need to eat a bag of Combos. I can see how people who spend a lot of time behind the wheel are challenged not to eat bad food out of sheer boredom. If you have road trips in your future, and want something little more exciting than pretzels and beef jerky to snack on, enjoy this list of snack ideas. Feel free to share you own, we're all in this together!
