Welcome to a weekly segment called "Social Circle." It's a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors. Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in this column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.
When on a road trip, most people toss healthy eating habits out the window and let themselves indulge in gas station snacks of their choice.
From Pringles to Skittles, road trip snacks are a subject that the Social Circle takes pretty seriously.
Here are their responses and feel free to add your favorite car junk food to the mix.
Melanie Ariens: "Corn Nuts. It's the only time I buy them. Oh, and when I'm not the driver, any odd ice cream thing from the little trunk freezer, like Choco Taco or an ice cream sandwich."
Margaret Bacik: "I only have squeeze cheese and crackers on road trips. If I didn't limit myself I would live off of it and probably weigh close to 400 pounds."
Debbie Baran: "Red licorice, Fritos (not together), bottled ice tea."
Sarah Bowen: "Quaker rice cakes."
Carolynn Buser: "I make a custom snack mix that my mom made for road trips for us growing up as well. Mix of sweet and salty goodness."
Steve Cady: "Funyons. And I don't eat onions. Go figure."
Greg Clapp: "Kwik Trip's rib sandwich."
Celesté Contreras: "One of those cheap soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies that always taste like cookie dough."
Sandi Draeger: "Slim Jims or Pringles."
John Ecker: "Black coffee and cigarettes. And sunglasses."
Lori Erickson: "I, too, am powerless to resist the lure of road-trip Combos. Never eat them any other time. Those, and harvest cheddar Sun Chips."
Erin Fritsch: "Trail mix and ice tea or cucumber soda is a pretty awesome snack."
Anothony Garrison: "Icee."

Kevin Groen: "All."
