1. Rice cakes – serious lingering odour.
2. Spears of broccoli and cauliflower – it may ease your guilt from letting them eat too much sugar, but these foods will not get eaten.  They will, however, get thrown.
3. Skittles – picture your kids after devouring a pack of skittles.  Now imagine them like that tethered to a car seat behind you.
4. Ice cream.
5. Dunkaroos – this is your kids’ chance to finally do that one craft you always say no to: finger painting (with chocolate dip on shiny windows!  Cool.)
6. Soup.
7. Devilled eggs – they’re healthy, delicious, and filling.  But better to suffer your husband’s gas problem than smell rotting eggs for hours on end.
8. Popcorn – these flying kernels somehow always end up all over the place (and fit perfectly inside ear canals and nasal passages.)
9. Bubble gum – yes, it’s a great way to keep their mouths busy, but it won’t stick lips together nearly as well as it sticks hair to the back of booster seats.  Ouch.
10. Prune juice – a road trip is not the time to loosen your toddler’s constipated bowels.
