John Sharp, a 42-year-old father of three from Asheville, North Carolina, has announced that he’s purchased “all the supplies needed” for an upcoming 12-hour road trip after acquiring a full three pounds of black licorice from a neighborhood Costco.
“Yup, I’ve got everything packed,” Sharp told his family. “Phone charger? Check. Maps? You bet. Rocking 80s driving mix? Ready to go. And if anyone gets hungry, I’ve got your favorite. Licorice!”
While his family has expressed disappointment at the snack offerings for the trip, they concede it was better than the time he decided to only bring loose trail mix for a drive to Ottawa.
