On my way home tonight, while famished and stuck in rush hour construction frustration, I came to the sad realization that we've eaten all the snacks in the car. (sad face emoticon) The only thing I had was what was in my day hike pack, which was WAAAAAAY in the back of the wagon. Thinking to myself that the only thing worse than being stuck in traffic is trying to get back into the ant-line after you've pulled over, I decided that it's time to re-stock and started making a mental list.

This thread is a perfect kick-starter. Thanks, Bing, and everyone for the suggestions!

Peanut M&Ms are a must for us, along with Clif bars, sesame snaps, crackers and/or cookies, dried fruit and nuts. There's always lots of water stashed in the vehicles, but it's time to add in some extra cold drink crystals, to go with the hot chocolate that's in there now. Tang, Kool-Aid and lemonade are the most popular with the family, and I get the just add water kind.

EDIT as I'm packing: I also usually throw in a few juice boxes/pouches too, in case someone forgets or loses their EDC water bottle.
