OMGosh, I cannot stop devouring this Archer Farms Chocolate Cranberry Crunch trail mix that we got from Target this weekend. (speaking of Target, very fun post about the big red store coming next!)
I had it for the first time a few years ago, and the stuff is the amazing. Chocolate-covered cranberries, almonds, walnuts, raisins, pineapple, and soybeans. And the good people at Archer Farms don’t cheap out on you like other trail mix producers who serve you 10% good stuff (chocolate-covered dried fruits, almonds, etc.) and 90% peanuts. The soybeans in AF CCC are few and far between, and there are tons of tender CCCs, crunchy almonds, and fat walnuts to go around.
If I were the pilot and sole passenger of a cargo plane filled with only one snack food and ended up safely crashing on a desert island for 2 weeks before rescue, I think I would want AF CCC to be that snack food. Pizza-flavored Combos and Cool Ranch Doritos are nice, but I feel like my arteries are crying ‘uncle’ after every bite. AF CCC’s only nutritional downside comes from the chocolate, but we all know that that’s really its biggest upside.
So, my simple question:
If you were the pilot and sole passenger of a cargo plane filled with only one snack food and ended up safely crashing on a desert island for 2 weeks before rescue, what would you want your snacky cargo to be?

I’m liking a plane full of Cracker Jacks, because you never know what kind of handy survival gear you might find hidden at the bottom of each box (decoder rings, trading cards, stickers, etc).
nifty answer. there just might be a satellite phone down there if you’re lucky!
Oh this is too hard!
Perhaps that trail mix with the M&Ms, peanuts, and raisins [and other nuts that I throw out]. Maybe chocolate covered pretzels.
Or maybe those boxes that have 6 different kinds of chips in little bags. Chips have that addicting quality that makes it impossible for you to stop eating them so I wouldn’t get tired of them.
This is hard!
You would throw out the other nuts, but keep the peanuts?! That’s a point where we certainly differ, BBFF.
Hilarious… I think I’d go for the peanut butter filled pretzel bites.
sweet, salty, and satisfying. good choice!
