Pringles Pop to the Top as North Dakota’s Road Trip Snack Champ

A couple of months ago, Multivu released a survey on America’s favorite road trip snacks, and guess what North Dakota’s pick is? No, it’s not jerky. Not trail mix. Not even the classic gas station hot dog. It’s… Pringles!

Yes, those perfectly stackable, poppable chips have taken the crown in the Peace Garden State. Apparently, we’re not alone in our crispy cravings because our neighbors in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana also named Pringles as their road trip MVP.

Maybe it’s the satisfying “pop” when you open the can, maybe it’s how they fit perfectly in the cup holder, or maybe it’s just the fact that they don’t get crushed like a sad bag of regular chips. Whatever the reason, Pringles have clearly driven their way into our hearts!

So the next time you pack up for a weekend away, maybe skip the crumbs and grab the can. After all, if half the Upper Midwest agrees, it’s got to be road trip gold.
