What is the most dangerous food to eat while driving?

I love to eat while I’m driving because I have little free time. While I try to eat things that aren’t messy, sometimes I get cravings for stuff that probably isn’t great to eat while driving. That said, I’m curious. What are the most dangerous foods to eat while driving?

Eating while driving is never really a great idea, as it can lead to
distracted driving
and increase your potential for an accident. But to satisfy your curiosity and help you avoid any issues, here are the most dangerous foods to eat while driving:
  • Hot soup
  • Tacos
  • Chili dogs
  • Sloppy joes
  • Jelly donuts
  • Spaghetti
  • Juicy fruits, such as watermelon or peaches
Again, avoid eating behind the wheel to avoid accidents. But if you have to, try one of the following:
  • Beef jerky
  • Protein bar
  • Baked potato chips (less greasy than fried)
  • Any food you can eat while still keeping one hand on the wheel
