On a particularly long ride that I have consumed lots of sweet snacks and drink, I really crave a packet of crisps and have often gone out of my way to find some. Not practical to carry in your jersey pocket!
Sounds like an exceedingly lucky find....This thread reminds me of being on tour as a younger person, in the 80s. My mate and I had, as usual, miscalculated, mis-routed and generally over-reached ourselves and were struggling to get to the next town for food and drink. We were in Wales and passed through some small villages with no open shops.
We decided that the most welcome sight around the next bend would be a crashed Mr Kipling lorry, with its contents strewn across the road. Somewhere in a box I have a photo of the pile of empty Mr Kipling cake boxes left after our light snack that day when we did eventually find a shop.
