What Kind of Road Tripper Are You?

Hitting the road soon? Whether you’re cruising down I-80 or taking the scenic route through Iowa, every road trip crew has a cast of characters. At Waspy’s, we’ve seen ’em all — and we love ‘em all (yes, even the backseat DJ). So, which one are you?

🚗 The Planner

You’ve got the route printed and backed up on three apps. You know where the clean bathrooms are, the gas prices in every town, and exactly when and where the group will stop — including the ETA at Waspy’s, of course.

Must-have item: Laminated itinerary and a backup battery

Waspy’s Pick: A strong cup of coffee and a protein bar to stay on schedule

🎧 The Backseat DJ

You control the vibe. Whether it’s old-school country, 2000s pop, or the ultimate road trip playlist, you’re ready to hit play at the perfect moment. Volume? Always maxed out.

Must-have item: Aux cord privileges

Waspy’s Pick: Giant fountain soda + snack mix — because rhythm requires fuel

😴 The Sleeper

You’re in the car, but barely. Hoodie up, seat reclined, and gone before you leave the driveway. Wake you up when it’s snack time or when someone’s at the wrong exit.

Must-have item: Travel pillow and sunglasses (for “napping”)

Waspy’s Pick: Energy drink and gummy worms — your wake-up combo

🍿 The Snacker

You’re not here for the drive — you’re here for the snacks. You’ve got sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy ready to go. And yes, you will judge other people’s gas station haul.

Must-have item: Cooler full of “just in case” snacks

Waspy’s Pick: Literally the entire Waspy’s snack aisle

📸 The Sightseer

You want to stop at everything. World’s largest bull? Must see. Funky roadside diner? Must stop. Wind turbine farm? Must photograph. You turn every road trip into a documentary.

Must-have item: Phone storage space and a love for detours

Waspy’s Pick: Something local from Waspy’s gift selection to remember the trip

🧭 The Human GPS

You don’t need a map — you are the map. You know the backroads, shortcuts, and weirdly specific landmarks. You’ve “been this way before,” even if it’s a different state.

Must-have item: Vague sense of direction and lots of confidence

Waspy’s Pick: A quick pit stop and a hot meal to reward your “shortcut”

No matter what kind of road tripper you are, Waspy’s is your go-to spot to fuel up, stock up, and chill out. So next time you’re cruising through Templeton or Audubon, swing by. We’ve got snacks, showers, clean bathrooms, and plenty of personality.
