Responsible adults are careful about not driving under the influence of alcohol, and there's even growing awareness of the dangers of cell phones while driving. Here's another hazard to your driving: Food. How many of us are guilty of eating and driving? I definitely am -- sometimes there's just not time to stop, sit down and eat. But this kind of on-the-go eating is dangerous to your waistline (unconscious eating) and to other driver (diverted attention)

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.
I know you have some interesting food/car stories to share ....
