I'll only eat bite-sized food I can pull out of a bag while driving. Hamburgers don't count. Fries do, as do chicken nuggets. (I don't dip 'em.)
 
not while doing anything complex (eg: driving down a narrow residential street, making turns, etc), but I'll eat whatever if I'm just driving straight down the highway in light traffic (anything that can be eaten 1-handed and doesn't create a mess at any rate)

I'll drink anything that can be drunken through a straw.
 
Nothing like crab legs while driving. Keep the cracker in cup holder and toss the empty legs out the window.

Literally feed you? Mouth left open, passenger putting chips directly into your mouth?

I prefer it if they chew the food for me and expectorate the resulting paste directly into my mouth. You want me to masticate my own food like a poor person? This is America. My forefathers didn't send other people to die so that I could live like a Neanderthal.
 
What is wrong with you greasy bastards .. probably have ketchup and crumbs all over your clothes and cars 😱
 
I find soup or spaghetti a little difficult. My dress shirt looks like a Saturday afternoon work shirt by time I navigate the 40 miles to work. And you can always steer with your knee. LOL. Actually I agree with Captante on this.

I almost always have black coffee with me, a cup about every two hours from gas station or some fast food joint. Breakfast biscuits and some sandwiches work well if they are constructed to not fall apart. Eating is no more a problem than loud music, quarrelling kids or pets in vehicle, and I do not have those. Rarely answer a phone (or even carry it) and only place calls when I pull in for another coffee.
 
I'll drink coffee on the interstate from time to time, but only if I'm far from other vehicles. Very rarely I'll eat something like a sausage biscuit if I'm on a long road trip, but the same rules apply. If I'm fewer than about 20 car lengths from someone, I don't do it.
 
This morning I was brewing coffee (keurig with adapter), shaving (I have a bucket with boiling water that sits nicely between steering wheel and dash), pissing in a bottle, while eating leftover beef with chopsticks and checking the ATOT forums. I also usually put one foot out the window to air out my feet.

Oh and smoke cigarettes with my kids in back. It's okay because all the smoke goes out the window when you're doing 90+ mph.
 
I've done it before but at stoplights. I don't think eating while driving really caught the cops attention as much as the bad driving probably did.
 
Yes, when you have a busy day of sales calls sometimes you don't have time to stop and eat. I'm at the point where I can eat chili or even cereal while I'm driving

I've seen people reading the newspaper in the morning while cruising down I25 at 75MPH. I pass them extra fast.
