Looks like a lot of us take the same things. I do not take coffee because of the smell and I always eat an apple before I get to my stand to cover the coffee smell on my breadth. I also take PB&J or ham sandwiches, apples, cut up fruit, nuts, lots of water, pop tarts taken out of the foil pack, anything that will keep me in my stand. Food also helps me keep warm. When I start to get a chill I'll eat something. That seems to give my body that extra boost to stick it out longer.
