You and Albert Einstein are planning a weeklong road trip across the American Southwest. What snack do you pack in your little Coleman cooler?

Coca-Cola and Pop Rocks, obviously…it’s science. But I hear dude made bagels too, right? Maybe he’d like those.

It’s game night at Emily Dickinson’s house and you can’t show up empty-handed. What’s your move?

Damn it, Emily never brought food to MY game nights. Smarties make good spare bingo chips though.

It’s Thomas Edison’s office party and you’ve signed up to bring cups and snacks. How are you going to take this get-together to the next level?

Cyanide and hemlock…He electrocuted an elephant in public in 1903. He can chew on hemlock branch until he dies, again.

You and Frida Kahlo have been walking around for two hours, trying to decide where to eat and now you are hangry. What do you snack on so you don’t bite each other’s heads off?

Esquites!!!! Triple crown: Corn, cojita and cilantro!

Ernest Hemingway is stuck at home, waiting for the cable guy, and he needs you to bring him something to munch on. What do you grab on your way over?

Advil stuffed into an olive to help the guy out with his inevitable hangover.
