I'm traveling with my family on a 8 hour charter bus to a family reunion and I need some good ideas for snacks that I can buy to take on the bus with me.

Pretty much anything that's convenient to travel with would be OK. Of course you want to stay away from anything really hard or sticky (toffee, caramel), but I would think pretzels, chips, chocolate would be fine. Just take some water so you can swish. Pack a travel kit with toothbrush, toothpaste and a cup so you can brush at the bathroom rest stops.

Yea I snack on pretty much everything I would without braces. Like the above post stated, just stay away from the really hard and sticky stuff. But I eat pretzels, chips, candy, granola bars...all the typical snack stuff!!

I take a lot of road trips so snacks is something that's important to me.

I take a small cooler with me and always make sure to carry some yogurt and a plastic spoon. The reason for this is when I finish a meal I eat some yogurt because it seems to take some of the food bits with it down to the stomach. My mouth feels cleaner at least. Ice cream works well for this too.
But then be sure to brush as soon as you can!

I discovered this wonderful snack called "pirate booty" its like cheetos kind of different flavor, but they are soft and easy to chew. I like the veggie one a lot.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to look for the pirate booty in my local grocery store.

Pirate booty is probably the tastiest thing i've ever eaten, snack-food wise.. oh except for nature valley sweet and salty nut bars.. which i can't eat now because of my sentence, lol.
