Top ten things I would like to eat when I am driving either in my car or yours.
- Coffee. It always finds a way out of the cup.
- Hot soup. Many people drink it like coffee. Same effects.
- Tacos. "A food that can disassemble itself without much help, leaving your car looking like a salad bar,"
- Chili. Dangerous drips and slops down the front of clothing.
- Hamburgers. Grease, ketchup, mustard on your hands, your clothes and the steering wheel.
- Barbecue. Spicy and dicey. There is the temptation to lick your fingers. More grease on the steering wheel.
- Fried chicken. Ditto. Grease coats everything you touch.
- Jelly or cream-filled doughnuts. Dangers relate to oozing while cruising. Raspberry jelly stains difficult to remove.
- Soft drinks. Prone to spills and sudden fizzing if car makes sudden movements. Cola fizz in the nose is perilous while driving.
- Chocolate. Tempting but treacherous. Try to clean it off the steering wheel and you're likely to end up swerving.
- Beer or Wine. Always the treat for a real driver.
