What specific foods should I buy for the long trip? We will be stopping to eat throughout the day but I like to snack while I drive and could really use some suggestions. NOTE: 1) It must be able to last 20 hours in a possibly hot car. 2) Junk food is fine but I dont want only shit that will make me feel awful. 3) Must be fairly easy to eat and not require any preparation. Any suggestions would be amazing.   | ||

It helps a little bit with car sickness and you can still chew on something when you're full or don't feel like eating. | ||

Trail Mix Cold Water/Juice. I prefer my drinks and beverages cold, not warm or room temperature. | ||

Be sure to bring a cooler to put drinks in, it's typically way cheaper. Drinks are really the larger requirement than food for such long trips. A different note is that you want to bring a massive music selection - at least 3x as much as you think you will be driving (so bring 60 hours worth of music so you can select whatever you feel like and not get tired of it). (I once drove from KY to peoria and back in 2-3 days. Didn't sleep at all, it was a terrible idea. But yeah). Stopping often helps on a trip like that, once every 2 - 3 hours for 10-15 minutes can make the drive much easier. | ||

It's not as long as it seems, just bring minimal stuffs like crackers and chips and water, impulse buy everything else at gas stations. I find it much better to do this than overprepare, ending up with lots of junk to throw away. Not to mention when you're impulse buying things along the way it's better to eat what feels right, rather than what you happened to pack. Oh and if you want fast food that won't make you die, get subway, they're everywhere. See you at Blizzcon. =) | ||

Beef jerky is awesome for road trips. Roasted peanuts (honey roasted mmmmm). Try to eat at least one hot "real" filling meal a day (a meal at McDonald's or equivalent would suffice). I like bringing a fruit with me, like bananas or tangerines. Clears up the junk food a bit. | ||

I did end up buying honey roasted peanuts and salt and vinegar chips (thanks respectively for those suggestions) I also bought a SHIT TON (its a unit of measurement) of drinks. Mostly water/vitamin water/some sodas. As well as a couple other filler things to hold me over between Taco Bell stops. Thanks for the suggestions yo. | ||
