Snacks for a busload?

My kid is going on a 5 hr bus trip. Several other moms are making brownies and sweets, I want to send something savory. I was told Chex mix and trail mix are out cuz those are the sorta things that end up everywhere in food fights.
Any ideas?
TIA,
MZ

<Gasp!> not cheese sandwiches that's abuse!


If your up north? I know in the northeast they have tons of pretzel places maybe without the salt, it'd be better than all that sugar

I was thinking the same thing. That bus driver wouldn't be thanking any parent for amping the kids up with sweets.

How about sandwiches cut up in smaller sizes. Or wraps?

I was thinking along the lines of pretzels or baby carrots. Costco carries pretzels in those big jars for cheap. I used to buy them for my classroom.

Apple slices, grapes, orange segments, raisins, Rice Krispy Treats, popcorn, pretzels, Goldfish crackers. Take a roll of paper towels and some bottled water and a couple of trash bags, for cleanups, because brownies and most sweets sound like a disaster.

A friend just returned from an 18 hour school bus trip (Atlanta to NYC) and her son suggested animal crackers.
I always send in bananas.
