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

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] UnpopularCrow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

I can't be trusted around shelled pistachios. I will eat myself sick in no time.

[–] severalkittens@ani.social 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Specifically pizza pretzel

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

OK, but what about pepperoni pizza flavor?

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Heck yeah, my favorite flavor of Combos!

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

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 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those are so yummy!

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

Snacklebox

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Amazing. Props to your gal!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Cheddar cheese pretzel is my Combos pick every time

[–] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

it aint a road trip without combos

Holy shit this picture just brought back decades old nostalgia.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

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 points 2 months ago

Salted sunflower seeds

[–] funbreaker@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

Jerky, mixed nuts, and M&Ms.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Love those!

cereal. so many textures to choose from!

capt crunch is a clear fav though

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Garden Salsa Sun Chips.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Fucking love cornnuts

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] pslightlypsycho47@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Popcorn, preferably white cheddar.

My favorite snack is also Value Size!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Jerky and extra toasty cheez its.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SloppyJoe@toast.ooo 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Funyuns, donut sticks, and pecan twirls.

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Funyuns are straight up addictive.

[–] Daze@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 points 2 months ago

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

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Say good bye to a family sized bag of veggie-all chips..

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

A green smoothie: slow burning calories

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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