I don’t know what problems you’re facing right now – there’s a lot – but have you tried keeping a thing of nuts or something in your car? Just a thing of them. Have you tried it? I don’t know. Might make a difference. Everything else is too much. You can leave them in the container you got them in – wrapped or unwrapped, if it’s one of those plastic tubs with a little choker of plastic around the lip – or put them in an old coffee mug that’s still in the cupholder between the front seats. A ziploc baggie in the console is fine too. Or one of those bulk-food bin bags with the zip ties is fine. Also good is a little single-serving pouch from the good gas stations along interstates. But just a thing of nuts or something, almonds maybe, in your car, that might help.
True story from Saturday, my parents came to visit and they opened the hatchback thing of their car to put Mom's purse back there while we went on a Ducks ride, and I saw that they had a big Costco sized thing of like trail mix with dried banana chips, and I was like "YES." I was like "Oh, you have a big thing of trail mix!" And they were like "Yeah." And I kind of wanted to ask for some but I wasn't hungry right then, but it was just really nice.
I carry at least two six packs of plain milk chocolate Hershey Bars in my trunk during the winter. They are supposed to be for emergencies. They taste REALLY good frozen. The average package lasts about 10 days.
Rest of the year I have Kashi Mixed Fruit Breakfast Bars and/ or Nabisco Sugar Wafers.
