Ever gone to the pool to lay out, and realized you forgot to bring snacks?  The worst let down ever!

There's just something about spending the day at the pool that makes you hungry.  Maybe it's soaking up all the sun, cooling off in the water, or simply just lounging in the sun with friends.  After a while, you start to get hangry.

A great pool day isn't complete without a cooler or beach bag full of your favorite snacks and treats.  Whether you're craving something salty, sweet, refreshing, or a little bit of everything, having snacks nearby makes those sunny days even better!  Plus, no one wants to make the trek back inside every time hungry strikes.  Am I wrong?

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect poolside snack.  Some swear by only fruit, bags of chips, snackle boxes... you name it.  And when Rockford was asked to share their favorites, they gave us a list that was unmatched.

Whether your favorite made the list of not, there's no wrong answer here.  Someone asked if chicken wings counted... like, yes.  Absolutely they do!  Now enjoy the rest of summer while you can because August is just around the corner.  We won't be able to spend every day by the pool soon enough.
