Cheez-it gas station. Pumps bags of snacks into your car.

Cheez-It Opens Filling Station With Cracker-Dispensing Pump

This week, snack fans can actually drive to visit the Cheez-It Stop located in Joshua Tree National Park.

https://www.foodandwine.com/cheez-it-gas-station-location-joshua-tree-7508197


From Monday, June 5 through Sunday, June 11, anyone who needs a road trip snack-break can visit the Cheez-It Stop to pick up several bags of orange crackers. The Cheez-It Stop has been equipped with the world’s first (and so far, its only) Cheez-It Pump which will spray bags of Cheez-Its through your open car window. And best of all, it’s completely free to take advantage of the pump and feed your Cheez-It cravings.

Regardless, you just have seven days to visit the Cheez-It Stop before it disappears into the desert’s memory. It can be found at 61943 Twentynine Palms Highway, Joshua Tree, California and will be open between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT every day between now and Sunday. If you’re planning a trip this week, it’s a 128-mile drive from Los Angeles, 168 miles from San Diego, or an easy 40 miles from the Palm Springs Airport.

Used to have a short, simple, readable ingredients list and were not too salty.

Considering they taste of cheese that have practically no carbs. I guess it's the white flour.

Ingredients: Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B1 [thiamin mononitrate], vitamin B2 [riboflavin], folic acid), vegetable oil (high oleic soybean, soybean, palm, and/or canola oil with TBHQ for freshness), cheese made with skim milk (skim milk, whey protein, salt, cheese cultures, enzymes, annatto extract color). Contains 2% or less of salt, paprika, yeast, paprika extract color, soy lecithin.

I'd rather eat the cheese.

long time (couple of decades) but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t easily go back there. One bite and I might be an addicted goner! Used to love that stuff.

their taste and panich, experimenting is called for.

White all-purpose flour is not as necessary, tasty, or desirablr as people think.

(you don't get to drive-up. You have to park and walk in, at least on this occasion.)
