Which Snacks Make Or Break A Road Trip?
More than two-thirds of Americans believe snacks can make or break a road trip.


It’s not the destination that matters most — more than two-thirds of Americans believe snacks can make or break a road trip.

A new poll of 2,005 adults revealed that aspects like the snacks (38%), the company (34%) and the stops along the way (30%) are some of the most important parts of a road trip.

In fact, if given the choice, the top mode of transportation is the car (38%) as opposed to a plane (35%) or a train (18%).

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of HI-CHEW , the results showed that seven in 10 (71%) agree that road trips give them a hall pass to eat as many snacks as they’d like.


Respondents are grabbing chips (47%), cookies (44%) and candy (42%) in addition to traveling with friends (39%), kids (33%) and pets (30%).

Eating on the go is so important that 44% even say it is in poor taste to ban eating in the car while on a road trip.

Sixty-one percent of respondents even admit they wouldn’t go on a road trip with someone who doesn’t allow snacking.

And though the majority (52%) say each person should bring their own snacks as well as being expected to share, two-thirds (65%) admit there are some treats they would never share with the rest of the car.

The snacks respondents are stashing for themselves are chocolatey (49%), fruity (46%) and chewy (42%).

“No matter which destination you are headed to next, snacks are a very important element of a road trip,” said Teruhiro Kawabe (Terry), Chief Representative for the USA & President, CEO of Morinaga America, Inc. “Whether you are keeping snacks for yourself or sharing them with your road trip company, select a new snack to try along the way. You might find your new favorite treat!”
