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

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

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

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

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

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] UnpopularCrow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] severalkittens@ani.social 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Specifically pizza pretzel

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

OK, but what about pepperoni pizza flavor?

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Heck yeah, my favorite flavor of Combos!

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 4 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

Amazing. Props to your gal!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Holy shit this picture just brought back decades old nostalgia.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cheddar cheese pretzel is my Combos pick every time

[–] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Salted sunflower seeds

Jerky, mixed nuts, and M&Ms.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Fucking love cornnuts

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Garden Salsa Sun Chips.

cereal. so many textures to choose from!

capt crunch is a clear fav though

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Jerky and extra toasty cheez its.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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 1 year ago

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

[–] SloppyJoe@toast.ooo 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[–] pslightlypsycho47@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Popcorn, preferably white cheddar.

Exclusively white cheddar.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My favorite snack is also Value Size!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funyuns, donut sticks, and pecan twirls.

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Funyuns are straight up addictive.

[–] Daze@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

A green smoothie: slow burning calories

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tomatoes, the smaller the better
