I was gonna say that's way too much junk food for a road trip, but then I realized that's like two bags of chips and a candy bar these days.

Summer of 2016

There is a particular kind of whimsy that you only see in posts from the before times. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I know when I see it because the first thing I do is look for a timestamp.

To be honest, mine'd look more like a late-teen w/ that $100, if only for the requisite weed component. 🧏🏼‍♂️

$100 you say... Well that gas station has a weed store next to it... I know what snacks I want.

When I fill up for a road trip the pump shuts off at $100 and my tank is not even full. None left for snacks.

In today's money that's like half a Snickers and a cupped hand of water from the fountain

Nah, a bag of cashews, a jug of water, and a 6pack of whatever the most caffine dense energy drink they have.

Check it;

Get the "2 for 1" packs of generic candy that every gas station has...a pack of peach rings & a pack of cherry sours.

Put a cherry sour inside a peach ring. They fit perfectly and look like a planet with rings. It's really an entire experience because the gummy texture of the peach rings compliments the crisp shell of the cherry sour. Taste (which is also great) becomes the least surprising aspect of this journey.

It's an experience.

Nah, dried apricots and apple rings from the bulk store. And some bits of broken chocolate bars as a treat. One notch above gorp’n it.

Lol this is me going to my 11 yo football game.

I dunno if I'd call it whimsy. Happiness? Comfort? Safety? I'm not sure, maybe it is whimsy, but I feel it's more of just a lack of sadness and stress. Everyone just feels on edge that they're being or about to be attacked. A lack of anxiety? But whimsy feels like the wrong word.

One of the best parts of cycling is that you're allowed to eat 100 grams of sugar per hour

Sunflower seeds and apples, sparkling water and cold coffee.

You are a gentleperson and a scholar

And the bags of chips have 5 chips in them combined and the candy bar is the size of my pinky toe

You're allowed to eat 100g of sugar an hour when you aren't a cyclist.

You had a weird childhood.

Well yeah you can, but without actually burning those carbs it's really not a good idea 🤣

Bows awkwardly, farts twice

Excuuuuuse me

simplicity?

That's over 16 kilos a week!

BRB buying a bicycle

Helps you de-stress when driving too! /s

If you're riding 160 hours with moderate effort, sure 🤣

Innocence.

SNACKS?! IN THIS ECONOMY?!

Much better than half the shit people are on while driving.

You just have to watch 4 hours of TV, or have 2 hours of sex per 100g of sugar. I suppose if you count the couple, you can share 100g of sugar per hour...

Not a good idea to get the shits on a road trip
