You may not be ready to hop on an airplane just yet, but since we're all just itching to travel somewhere...anywhere!...why not pack up the car for a road trip?

I'm not one to eat a lot of junk food on the regular, but something about a road trip makes me crave certain "gas station" treats. The only time I ever eat these things is when I'm traveling somewhere in the car! Something about hitting the highway makes these things taste So. Dang. Good. And yes, by the list you'll see that I prefer salty/savory over sweet. These items don't need descriptions - you know what they are! So here it is...

Charley's 5 Required Road Trip Foods!!

1. Gardetto's Snack Mix - Pretzels and breadsticks and...the piece de resistance...rye chips!!
2. Munchos - They're so airy and SALTY!
3. White Cheddar Popcorn - it sticks to your fingers, but at least it's not bright orange!
4. Tater Wedges - if you're lucky, you'll come across a gas station with its own deli inside. Trust me on this - there's nothing like gas station tater wedges!
5. M&Ms - ok, you've gotta have a little sweet to balance out all of this savory goodness. And M&Ms are great because you can throw in just a couple at a time between salty bites!

Hungry, yet? I've got to start planning a road trip so I can get some of these snacks! What's your "Go-to road trip snack"? Hit me up on Facebook or Instagram and let me know!
