What are the best road trip snacks? Its vacation season, which means more road trips. Of course we know you can't take a trip without snacks. Thats one of the best parts of the trip, stopping at a convenience store and grabbing something for the road. But what do you get? Thats always a tough decision for me. I'll wander around for way longer than I should trying to figure out what I want.

SWNS came up with this list of the best road trip snacks, and I want to see if we agree with them or not. According to SWNS' list junk food type stuff was on top of the list, well of course. However, some healthier options did make the list as well. I just don't know if a road trip is the proper time to try and eat healthy. If you can do it, more power to you.

According to the article, people want to stop about every 3 hours and grab food or snacks or something. That sounds about right. I mean we're probably stopping for a bathroom break anyway, so you might as well grab a snack or a drink or something right?

Before we get into the list, there was another thing I found interesting. More people would rather drive than fly. Not me! If I could, I'd fly everywhere. You get there so much faster, and you can still bring snacks on the plane. If you'd like to check out the full list and article from SWNS, just click here

Lets see if you agree with this list of the best road trip snacks.

Chips

47% of people said that chips of some sort was their favorite road trip snack. I can agree with that.

Chocolate

Right under chips came chocolate. My wife would agree with this one. The only downfall is, you have to eat it pretty quick or else it will melt.

Cookies

If I'm being honest, I think I'd put cookies over chocolate. Only because they are less likely to melt.

Nuts and Seeds

Any form of nuts or seeds was next on the list. I'm going to assume peanuts or sunflower seeds is most likely what they're referring to.

Candy

This is usually my go to. I'll usually do some form of a gummy candy and some chips of some sort. I guess its the whole sweet and salty thing.
