I was gonna say that's way too much junk food for a road trip, but then I realized that's like two bags of chips and a candy bar these days.

    Check it;

    Get the "2 for 1" packs of generic candy that every gas station has...a pack of peach rings & a pack of cherry sours.

    Put a cherry sour inside a peach ring. They fit perfectly and look like a planet with rings. It's really an entire experience because the gummy texture of the peach rings compliments the crisp shell of the cherry sour. Taste (which is also great) becomes the least surprising aspect of this journey.

    It's an experience.

    Summer of 2016

    There is a particular kind of whimsy that you only see in posts from the before times. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I know when I see it because the first thing I do is look for a timestamp.

    I dunno if I'd call it whimsy. Happiness? Comfort? Safety? I'm not sure, maybe it is whimsy, but I feel it's more of just a lack of sadness and stress. Everyone just feels on edge that they're being or about to be attacked. A lack of anxiety? But whimsy feels like the wrong word.

    One of the best parts of cycling is that you're allowed to eat 100 grams of sugar per hour

    You're allowed to eat 100g of sugar an hour when you aren't a cyclist.

    In today's money that's like half a Snickers and a cupped hand of water from the fountain

    Not a good idea to get the shits on a road trip

    When I fill up for a road trip the pump shuts off at $100 and my tank is not even full. None left for snacks.

    To be honest, mine'd look more like a late-teen w/ that $100, if only for the requisite weed component. 🧏🏼‍♂️

    Nah, dried apricots and apple rings from the bulk store. And some bits of broken chocolate bars as a treat. One notch above gorp’n it.

    $100 you say... Well that gas station has a weed store next to it... I know what snacks I want.

    Nah, a bag of cashews, a jug of water, and a 6pack of whatever the most caffine dense energy drink they have.
