A significantly less-healthy snack substitute for trail mix, first popularized among Seattle-area hipsters who like to hike but also prefer drinking coffee, getting stoned, and not being rained on. Most fail mix contains higher proportions of gummies, chocolate, candies, or caramel corn than would actually be beneficial for backpacking. Fail mix may occasionally lack nuts and granola all together.

Rick: "Sorry, I already picked out most of the Swedish Fish. Were we actually gonna go hiking?"
Twig: "No it's raining... This fail mix is starting to taste like trail mix, put more gummy bears in it..."
