10 most dangerous foods to eat on the road

Maybe they really mean the top 10 dangerous foods to eat while driving - I imagine eating anything on the road is dangerous, either in a 'get hit by a car' kinda way, or 'contract some heinous disease' kinda way.

Anyway, here they are, US bias and all...

1. Coffee. It always finds a way out of the cup.

2. Hot soup. Many people drink it like coffee. Same effects.

3. Tacos. "A food that can disassemble itself without much help, leaving your car looking like a salad bar," says Hagerty.

4. Chili. Dangerous drips and slops down the front of clothing.

5. Hamburgers. Grease, ketchup, mustard on your hands, your clothes and the steering wheel.

6. Barbecue. Spicey and dicey. There is the temptation to lick your fingers. More grease on the steering wheel.

7. Fried chicken. Ditto. Grease coats everything you touch.

8. Jelly or cream-filled doughnuts. Dangers relate to oozing while cruising. Raspberry jelly stains difficult to remove.

9. Soft drinks. Prone to spills and sudden fizzing if car makes sudden movements. Cola fizz in the nose is perilous while driving.

10. Chocolate. Tempting but treacherous. Try to clean it off the steering wheel and you're likely to end up swerving.

Personally, from my experiences, you can add kebabs to that list, and straight-out-of-the-oven pizza. Man, when that mozzarella slides off the base, onto your chin and then plummets into your lap, you've gotta take action with both hands...
