Consumption In Transit

I know that I am not the only person who has food anxiety when in transit. Be it on a bus, plane, blimp (in my dreams) or poorly driven uhaul, I have a lingering fear that I won't have access to food, and if I do, it could go very wrong. Take for instance the time I decided to eat left-over chinese food (I know, what the hell was I thinking) on a bus trip between NYC and DC and ended up throwing up in the vehicle's restroom. If you have ever stepped foot into a bus restroom you are aware of the long term trauma that one will have to deal with after having their mouth anywhere near a greyhound toilet.

Due to my fears and life experience, I generally like to bring certain easily digestible snacks with me or make sure I will have access to them at some point in my journey. My favorites are cheezits and diet pepsi (always consumed simultaneously as their chemical backgrounds compliment one another nicely), turkey jerky, and any and all types of haribo gummies (the beauty of these candies will be discussed in the future).

Oh! Also on a recent trip to London, my tripmate stumbled up Marks and Spencer's gummy pigs...we proceeded to consume several bags on our flight home and on top of being exceptionally delicious and stomach-friendly, I am 78% sure that they bring about a new kind of sugar high causing you to hallucinate.
