Trip Trash

Okay, so they’re trash cans, but for your car. You can buckle them into a seat, and they’ll stay put! Or stay put-ish. As in, they won’t fly forward and vomit up their contents when you slam on the brakes for a stop sign you didn’t notice until the last second.

And you get four of them!

Which, let’s be clear, is almost definitely too many.

Seriously, what do you do with four trash cans for your car? Set up two in the back seat of your car and two in the back seat of your spouse’s or roommate’s? Or do you just put in one and collapse the other three for when it starts to get smelly?

(To be clear, though, if you’ve got a minivan, three or more kids, and a family member you visit semi-frequently who lives more than two but fewer than five hours away, having four of these things placed strategically throughout the cabin wouldn’t be terrible, right?)

Anyway, let’s remember what time of year it is. Unless your resolution involves keeping a tidier car, these won’t help. But what you put in them–as in the packaging from your various road trip snacks–might inspire you to keep going with whatever it is you did resolve to do in 2026.

That’s why we suggest filling these things with the wrappers from snacks that encourage a healthier body or mind. You know, stuff like:

• Ta-ketos
• Skim Milkyways
• Paydays (but with a significant yet manageable percentage going into savings)
• Runyuns
• 100Grand (steps per 10 days)
• Medi-Tate’s Bake Shop Cookies
• Dori-touch-your-toes
• Reese’s (Intermittent)FastBreaks
• Cheez-Fits
• Not a Slim Jim, but a Jim who makes better dietary choices and has a healthier resting heart rate

Yes, these are very, very stupid. But these trash cans? They’re also kind of stupid. But you get four of them! (Which is definitely stupid.)
