Favorite On Duty Snack / Munchie

[1042 Trooper]

A little serious discussion on certified cop munchies:

What does it take to get you through your shift: Nothing, or.....

For me, it was jerky or, sunflower seeds and, my Megabladderbuster 60oz mug full of diet coke.

[e-man]

I do the 32 or is it 64 oz. fountain diet pepsi and either Peanut butter M&Ms or I wait till hungry and eat a turkey sammitch...
Some times its a protein bar

You guys do 60 and 64 oz. drinks, ok. Then how many times do ya have to stop during your shift?

[Mr. CO]

Well I can't really leave due to babysitting the inmates. I have nutty bars, oatmeal cream cookies, some poweraide, water, pop, crackers, sometimes those zibra cakes and of course sandwhich or hamburgers. It depends on the day.

If I drink all my fluids, I have 60 oz. throughout a shift. If you drink something and a lot of it, it makes you take a ****. So it makes you get out of the car and hit the bathroom.

I normally stop at 7-11 or QT and pick up 64oz of Iced Sweet tea, plus a bag a chips... lately I have been getting some jerky around 11... I normally go before I get in the car, at dinner, and when ever i stop at the station, so it could range from 3-5 times, but i have only had to make a stop for that 3-4 times so far this year...

In my slow boring 'burb I stop as much as needed. Meaning only 2-3 times a shift for a bathroom break.
Depending on the shift, there is only one or two places open so we frequent those as its also being pro-active.

Peanut M&M's, a diet pepsi and usually an energy drink (monster of full throttle). First thing I do every day. will probably get me killed, I am very predicitable.

I stop two or three time a night, I drink a lot of water as well. I think cops bladders become enlarged because we often end up "holding it" on TA's or other such long winded calls.

I like dark chocalate and I drink mostly water and sweet tea every once in awhile. I stopped drinking soda which was very hard, diet moutain dew withdrawl was the worse. The headaches were outrageous!

[Smurfette_76]

Coffee...and lots of it...and you men have NO room bitchin' about having to take bathroom breaks...LOL....you have no idea!!!

[armyfi]

Give me a Diet Pepsi and a pack of Capt Wafers and I am set.. That is when I work days. Its another story when I am on nights.. I gotta have a bag of peanut m&ms

*cries* are those Krispy Cremes? I got totally addicted to those when I was in Lexington. Ahhh the memories. Unfortunately we don't have those where I live now. Or where I attend school...

If I didn't know better I'd say 1042Trooper was my dad, but Da's still active (well, retired from the NG but working his corrections job) Anyway, he's even got his own reusable megahuge soda cup.

I make do with water (sometimes flavoured with powerade/crystal lite) and sunflower seeds.

Snack break, what's that? Seeing 4-6 people in an hour every hour doesn't give much time for anything...I should probably do another ride-along for a little R & R, that or become a cop.

Y'know, I was going to make gut pills an option on the poll, but didn't think the folks would appreciate the option right there in plain view.

You made my day.
