They are good for five years and in an emergency I dont want snacks that make us thirsty or might have gone bad in heat or cold. These may not be the best taste but can sustain for days.

He suggested peanuts and sunflower seeeds. We put them in Gatorade bottles.

If you can eat it with just one hand, WITHOUT looking at it, and if it meets other criteria, it's a good car snack.<br /><br />Because if there's only one driver, it's dangerous to fumble with packaging, and not keep their eyes on the road while concentrating on stop-and-go traffic filled with other panicked evacuees trying to eat (not all evacuee's behind the wheel will be sane, some might not even be sober, but all will be frustrated and tired).<br /><br />As much as DH loves his Vienna sausage, they won't be evac-car food ever again! I ended up having to stop eating, so I could pull out each sausage for him, then put it on a cracker (which caused crumbs to fall).<br /><br />Next we tried Deviled Ham, that too caused me to stop eating so I could spread his on the crackers for him.<br /><br />Dry snack mixes/chips in small mylar or plastic packs worked great. So did jerky.<br /><br />(something I wrote could be interpreted different than what I meant, and it was embarrassing LOL)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-35619431661183471182011-04-14T05:28:58.772-04:002011-04-14T05:28:58.772-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-42220472531668029292011-04-13T22:44:27.228-04:002011-04-13T22:44:27.228-04:00For peanut free that lasts a while I like nutrigra...For peanut free that lasts a while I like nutrigrain bars - we get a big box from Costco.Mrs. Pearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086275769028312757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-73160769365622116292011-04-13T20:50:47.855-04:002011-04-13T20:50:47.855-04:00We like crunchy granola bars and they don't se...We like crunchy granola bars and they don't seem to go bad quite as fast as the soft ones.

However, portable snacks that are easily eaten are good in carry bags, too.<br />- Raisins<br />- Crackers, including those cracker & cheese packets if you do commercial food<br />- Fruit leather<br />- Vegetable and fruit chips<br />- Hard candies (Werther`s Originals, for example!)<br /><br />Currently we keep a box of Pocky in the car. Somehow my husband has built an air of mystery and wow around these silly pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. One will occupy each of our kids for a while. :) Having something handy that`s guaranteed to get good behaviour - that`s priceless.<br />Almost nothing tastes good if left in a car for too long.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750292879037409647noreply@blogger.com
