Here's a list of the top 10 things you should never, ever eat while driving, according to eDiets:
- Chocolate: ewww ... can you say melted mess?
- Soda: It sure is sticky when you spill it ... and you will eventually
- Cream/Jelly filled donuts: that cream/jelly is going to squirt all over your dashboard sooner or later
- Fried Chicken: Imagine greasy fingers ... everywhere!
- Barbecue: BBQ sauce will end up all over your lap
- Big burgers: Those add-ons are hard to keep track of when you're driving, huh?
- Chili: Something that requires a spoon takes too much attention from the road ... plus you might burn your mouth
- Tacos: Tacos are messy at the table. In the car? Disastrous
- Soup: Ummm....is this even possible?
- Coffee: This one I am guilty of. If you must drink coffee on the road, save your sips for stop lights.
