Solid drink selection although i would say you're missing Mountain Dew (i dont like it but i know some people who must have it in their blood). Do not get Dasani water, anything else will do better and if you want to go high end go fiji over evian.

Props on Squirt. Not enough people carry that and it is the only soda on that list i would drink.

Here in utah there are two chains that sell Herr's chips (from philidephia iirc) and every time i visit the restaurant every single person orders a bag of them with their sandwich (either in place of or in addition to fries). People who can't readily access Herrs chips will worship and buy them. My wife makes me buy a few extra bags when i go there to keep on hand.

Also can't go wrong with Tim's chips if you want kettle. They are the best imo. http://www.timschips.com

Nottingham, PA, actually. Jim worked right down the street from the factory for a few weeks.
I keep meaning to take the kids on the tour and then I forget about it... I'm making a note now...

That's a great idea. I still remember the factory tour I took of a sardine cannery in Maine when I was a kid.

I'm pretty sure candybars would melt here...at least all the chocolate ones.

I could carry Munch bars or PayDay, but I might eat 'em all.

Good call on the Mountain Dew. On the chips, I've heard Cape Cod are the best kettle chips, but I'm willing to try anything. I was toying with carrying Red Bull or Monster, though I'll be across from the Social Security building so I don't know how popular, that product might be.

If'n you're keeping sodas cold, you can keep candy cold. :eyebrow:

Radar 05-21-2009 07:26 PM

Good point. I suppose I could put 'em in plastic bags in the coolers to keep them dry and cold.

Clodfobble 05-21-2009 07:38 PM
