Product Information

Especially on a long car journey, you’re bound to get peckish along the way and there’s nothing that could ruin the adventurous mood more than a garage-bought sandwich. For parents this is surely the go-to snack to give to your children, just simply throw them a packet of salt and vinegar or whatever fancy flavour you have chosen and let them munch on them, for a few moments of peace, before they start asking ‘are we there yet? Breadsticks and crisps are great savoury snacks, which can also be accompanied by a selection of dips. These are seen as the ideal car bisucit as they won't melt in high temperatures and the crumb quota is relatively low.

Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil, a family dinner blog, tells us her snack choices: “I love anything that’s healthy and light, has some crunch and a little bit of sweet for when the driver feels in need of some sugar. He'd be very happy picking through it all and it passed the time like pic n mix but not sticky at all.

I always find snacks that won’t make you extra thirsty and will help keep you away like apples, nuts, and crackers and cheese. If it is warm then they will be chewy, if it is cold outside then be prepared to nearly break your teeth before enjoying whichever flavour is your favourite. The original hard sweets are likely best to suck on for long treks in vehicles, though the wrappers often end up turning up all over the car for weeks to come.Wendy from Empty Nesters, a global travel blog, tells us her choice of snacks for a long road trip: “I love road trips! Father's Day is just around the corner, providing the perfect opportunity to express gratitude and honor the father figures in our lives. Although a car isn’t the most convenient place to eat food, let alone the easiest place to keep food fresh, there are ways to make snacking on a long drive easier.
