31 Of The Best Gas Station Junk Foods

I recently did a motorcycle trip across the USA from LA to New York City. Bikes have small tanks, so I stopped every 100 miles or so, sometimes more frequently if my butt got tired or I was going into a long stretch without any available gas stations. I tried to eat real meals as much as possible, but I definitely ate a lot of gas station junk food because it was convenient, and to be honest, I felt a bit nostalgic!

We’ve all been on a road trip and looked around at all full glory of gas station gourmet snacks like hot dogs, nachos, potato chips, and energy drinks. As an adult, it’s not every day that I go to the store and buy myself a bag of hot Cheetos ‘just because’, so I had a great time trying some of these snacks for the first time in over a decade. Some were still as great as they were back in the day. Some had me thinking, “I can’t believe I used to eat this.”

Now that I’m back, I put together a list of my favorite gas station junk foods. Do you see yours on this list? Don’t forget to let us know your favorites in the comment section.
