Heading out on a road trip in the Carolinas this summer? Bring good snacks hahaha! Millions of people will be hitting the road for a vacation this summer. New research reveals the essentials they like to bring to ensure a good time.

- The poll finds that if given the choice, people’s preferred mode of transportation is the car (38%), rather than a plane (35%) or a train (18%).
- Nearly two-thirds (71%) of respondents agree that road trips give them a free pass to snack as much as they want.
- Eating on the road is so important, 61% admit they wouldn’t even go on a road trip with someone who doesn’t allow eating in the car.
- Favorite road trip snacks include chips (47%), chocolate (47%), cookies (44%), candy (40%), fruit (40%) and granola bars (38%).
- People’s golden rules for road-tripping include that everyone uses the bathroom before leaving (43%), people should wear deodorant, but not strong perfume or cologne (39%), the front seat passenger has to help with directions (38%) and that the driver always gets to choose the music (31%).
- The road trips Americans want to take most are heading across the country (40%), up and down the East Coast (38%), and the West Coast (37%), as well as traveling historic Route 66 (33%).
