"Deciding which snacks to pack when you're planning a road trip is essential. Hunger pangs can strike when the next rest stop is still miles away, so having something to snack on in the car is imperative. Even once you arrive at a rest stop, finding appropriate food for the whole family can be tricky and expensive. Planning ahead and packing snacks that you can eat when you stop is a good idea, too."
"The sulfur smell from eggs isn't particularly noticeable when you eat them in your dining room, but the intensity is more noticeable in an enclosed space. You may start to notice the smell a few hours into your journey, even if the eggs are wrapped up and stored in a cool bag. As soon as you open them, however, it's a different story. That eggy scent will fill the car within seconds, and it may linger long after the protein-rich snacks have been eaten."
Choosing snacks for a road trip requires planning to avoid spoilage, melting, sticky messes, and strong odors in a warm car. Heat can cause dairy like yogurt to spoil and cause foodborne illness. Sweet items such as doughnuts and candy can become sticky and messy when warmed. High-protein items like hard-boiled eggs produce a sulfur odor that intensifies in enclosed spaces and can fill the car when opened. Storing eggs in a cool bag offers limited protection; keeping them in the trunk and consuming them at a rest stop reduces in-car odor exposure. Thoughtful selection saves money, time, and cleanup.
