Because We All Need Study Snacks

Ah, the convenience of anything you want, at any time. Thanks to delivery bike service DC Snacks, late night necessities are now at your door, and not just around the corner at the local 711. …As long as you are in DC.

Frequently used by college students, the service operates seven days a week from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Sundays and weekdays and 4 a.m. Thursdays-Saturdays. DC Snacks delivers to neighborhoods Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Midtown, and Downtown.

Almost nothing is impossible. Need to make a cake? Cake mix and icing in a variety of flavors are available. As are sauces and spices, Advil, contraceptives, peanut butters, marshmallows, Nutella, candy, frozen food entrees, sushi, Red Bull, bottled water, Benadryl, Tums, Marlbaro Ultra Lights, baking soda, ping pong balls, and batteries. You could, in theory, grocery shop through DC Snacks; all that is unavailable are milk and eggs, and with the company's changing hours and frequent stock update, one might wonder how long until DC Snacks provides the necessities that we need for impending snow storm. From the obscure necessity to the basics, DC Snacks appears to have you covered.

Of course, DC Snacks raise questions, which are not only limited to its products and services, but its safety and necessity. On the one hand, it's convenient to have a delivery service that provides the little things that make life easy, but do we need a service to provide that? Or should we drive ourselves to the 24-hour Superfresh and get the milk, glue stick, and Dayquil ourselves?

What what does it mean for Baltimore and what does this mean for society? Well, it's another convenience; like 24-hour fitness centers, late night pharmacies, and 24-hour drive thrus, the "pedal service" offers the ability to stay indoors. If it's raining or snowing when you remember you need No. 2 pencils for tomorrow's exam, you won't have to brave the wild to collect the necessity. (This is of course, hypothetical; DC Snacks doesn't offer pencils, but as an off-handed suggestion, the future Baltimore services should!) As for Baltimore, it's a convenience we could surely benefit from, and consider me chagrined, one I would likely use.
