What’s Your “Gas Station Food” on a Road Trip?

Gas station food is kind of an all or nothing thing.Having driven cross country, I think they get better as you get further west.

I was in Santa Fe and a nice old lady used to bring homeade tamales to the gas station there. Obviously, that doesn’t happen everywhere.

When you’re on a road trip and you stop for gas and some snacks, the random junk food you buy is called your “gas station order.”

 

And people are sharing their gas station orders on TikTok right now like . . .

 

1.  Sprite, Chester’s Flamin’ Hot Fries, and a Crispy Crunchy Reese’s bar.

 

2.  Dr. Pepper, Lay’s Salt & Vinegar chips, Sour Patch Kids, and Takis.

 

3.  An Icee, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Limon, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

 

4.  Diet Coke, Bugles, and peach rings.

 

So . . . what’s your go-to order when you’re on a drive?
