Why this must be read:
Sheppard kept saying that you couldn't get lost if you didn't care where you were going in the first place. This, Rodney thought, probably explained a lot about Sheppard's unique approach to navigation, and, in addition to the train track incident, explained why he wasn't allowed to drive anymore.
Losely based on the idea of a Mastercard ad, this is John and Rodney's attempt to take Ronon and Teyla on a traditional roadtrip, whilst showing them different aspects of earth culture, which generally revolve around food! Some of the funniest scenes take place in the supermarket and Rodney explaining McDonalds drive-thru to Teyla, which then leads her to wonder whether people on Earth actually prepare any of their own food
The level of snark and banter in this story is great, and would probably be fairly accurate if the team ever went on a roadtrip!
Although this is mostly a humour piece there is also a more dramatic theme running throughout with Rodney trying to decide whether he should call Jeannie

"I said pick up a few things, McKay, not buy the whole store," Sheppard's voice said behind him.
Rodney jumped and banged his head on the door of the ice cream freezer. "Oh, and I'm sure you're only picking up essentials." His eyes widened when he caught sight of the bottle of Tigi BedHead sitting proudly atop the pile in Sheppard's loaded cart.
Sheppard's eyes followed Rodney's, and his hand shot out, stuffing the hair gel under a bag of frozen corn. "Shut up."
"Did I say something?"
"Where is Ronon?" Teyla asked.
"Produce department," Sheppard said, adding a Mrs. Smith's Chocolate Silk Pie to the pile of protective camouflage on top of the hair gel. "He was getting bored, and I told him it was okay to eat some grapes."
"You are completely insane," Rodney said flatly.
"Yeah..." Sheppard frowned. "It might be a good idea to find him."
