Having a picnic takes much less effort than getting over a bad fast food meal.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Small Plastic Bowls
  • Utensils

Step1
Find and enter a fast-food restaurant.
Step2
Ask for a plastic fork, knife and spoon.
Step3
When you have the utensils, ask for the location of the nearest market.
Step4
Go to the market.
Step5
Buy a bottle of juice or water, some fruit, vegetables, yogurt, a loaf of bread and some cheese or equivalent sandwich item. If there is a deli section, buy hot food as desired.
Step6
Go to an attractive park. If you are waiting out a bus layover, make sure to check your departure time with the driver.
Step7
Have a picnic. Make and eat several sandwiches or salads.
Step8
When done, clean and save the utensils and dispose of trash.
Step9
Get back on the road.

Tips & Warnings

  • Save utensils for your next meal.
  • If traveling overseas, observe people's eating habits and do the same thing they're doing, as appropriate.
