    Default Road Trip! Long-Drive Snack and Entertainment Kit

    Okay!

    You are about hop in the car for a 10-12 hour drive.

    Sadly, the only stuff you can bring with you is already packed into
    convenient--yet frustratingly arbitrary--little road kits.

    No substitutions! That's cheating!

    On the way you may stop to pee, but you may not purchase additional provisions.

    Which "Travel Fun Kit(tm)" do you choose?
    ...

    Please note: The audio system will play only the CD provided. The radio will not work otherwise.

    I love Snickers bars. And it's a CD, so I can skip "Coward of the County", right?

    3 .5 liters of water, an apple, The White Album is close to what I would and have traveled on. Though Allman Brothers is the best Road music.
    The water is a big one for me and apples, crackers, granola bars, rice cakes and etc. for snacks are great.

    Anyone ever fly United? Their snack boxes are nearly this arbitrary.

    I actually like Squirt. A lot. So, for that I'll put up with the almonds, and the Billy Joel.

    I adore Squirt, and quite like almonds, and would take great pleasure in pulverising a Billy Joel CD beneath my tires.

    I'm a big water drinker and I enjoy apples. Pair that up with the White Album and I'm good to go.

    The water, apple, and Beatles combo is the only reasonable choice. The rest of them are all horrible in some way. I'd really like to pick Thriller for music, but just picturing driving down the road, in the summer heat, chugging from a quart of buttermilk? Good. lord.

    It is rather horrible, isn't it?

    Chugging Buttermilk sounds like code for something. Something bad.

    The bible as read by larry king was tempting (good for a few laughs!) but I had to go with the buttermik and Thriller.

    Mostly because it would be a great image for families travelling as you chugged said buttermilk, had a bunch of toffifay and were listening to Michael Jackson. if I was wearing a justin bieber shirt the picture would really be complete.
