Okay, I admit it. I do! I also know there are many of us that are guilty of this car habit. Sometimes I just can't help it. When I takeaway from McDonald's, my hand seems to automatically reach out for the fries~! LOL.. Okay, not automatically but you know what I mean. I just can't wait until I reach home. I try not to do it, because I read in a magazine that snacking in cars could actually make you gain more weight without realizing it. But I still do it anyway~! :P So how many of you out there are as guilty as I am?? What's your reason for eating in the car? Thanks for sharing, friends..! ;D

My kids eat their snacks, candy, etc in my car. I hate it. I always end up with wrappers, crumbs, you name it in the seats, under the seat, etc. I never eat in my car. We live in a small town, so no matter where you go, you are no more than 10 minutes from your house, and that is pushing it. If you can't wait ten nimutes, there is something wrong...lol. That's what I tell my kids anyway. They never listen though. As soon as we hit the car, whatever goody I just got them in the store, rips open and papers go everywhere !!

Sounds like you've got your hands full there! lol.. As a kid, my family used to travel a lot. We used to live in Illinois and we'd always travel across the US. I guess that's where I formed the habit of eating in the car~! Hehe.. :D

I used to travel a lot. When I traveled I liked making good time and stopping to eat was way too much trouble. So I'd grab some fast food that was easy to eat (like mcdonalds fries and chicken nuggets) and wasn't very messy. There is both a McDonalds and a Taco Bell (my favorite fast food places!) literally less than 2 miles from my home and it only takes me about 3 minutes to get from either of them into my driveway. Yet... I always grab a fry or 5 fries on my way in! It usually also depends on how hungry I am...I don't eat lunch at work so sometimes if it's my dinner after work I'm starving!

Ooooh, I miss Taco Bell. We don't have 'em here in Malaysia. :( But yeah, grabbing those fries are really hard to resist! =D

They don't? I never knew that.. They should open one here! I love Mexican food. More and more Malaysians are starting to love it too. So one Taco Bell here please!! As for car food, lol, I can't imagine trying to eat a taco while driving! Talk about multitasking!

A few years ago I went to Australia and was so amazed by the fact that they didn't have taco bell! I need my tacos! they're not good car foods anyhow though.

Yep, I'm guilty of eating in the car. LOL I don't do it all the time, but I will snack on fries or take a quick sip of my drink when I'm at a stoplight. I try to wait until I get home, but sometimes I'm just too hungry to wait! :P

I eat in the car when the aroma prove too tempting to resist. Often, when I eat, I am not the driver. I too eat in the car if I am in a rush or I am late and do not have time to have a proper meal. It sort of allow me to save some time during when I travel.

I have meals in the car frequently. Myself and my friends have had many a dinner on the way to the mall, a club, or a sporting event. I am not a messy eater, but I have to stay on my friends so they don't throw crumbs all over the backseat.

I really don't like to this at all and I usually prevent people from doing it too. But lately, because of some demands and some other conditions that causes me to stay in the car longer than usual, I just have to resort to eating in the car. but I do it very carefully so as not to litter or get the car dirty one way or the other. The reason I avoid eating in the car in the first place is to avoid getting it dirty.

Yes I do eat in the car. However I do nto do it too often, only if I go to Mcdonalds or something...which is not too often. what I do do a lot however is drink coffee in the car. All the stains on my carpet can go a long way in proving that! :) cheers,

I only eat in the car when I'm traveling. Otherwise, I keep the bag closed all the way home and eat them there. Although, I used to stop for breakfast about twice a week on the way to work and I would eat that en route. But I don't do that anymore.

guilty as charged.. But only those that have easy access. for instance, i won't eat the burgers in the car. Or other snacks that I bought at the grocery store. UNLESS, they're OPEN. As i said, easy access! :D

I'm guilty too! I eat in the car all the time! The trouble with going to places like McDonalds is the food is so messy! It's embarrassing to have people stare at you when you've got mayo dripping down your chin :oD That is why I eat in my car, where I can make as much of a mess of myself as I like, and no-one is watching! I'm not a big fan of all the crumbs and lettuce that ends up on the floor of the car though :o)

LOL~! I hate the mess it makes too, so that's why I just stick to fries or chips. I guess your nickname describes it all.. hehe.. I can't imagine what it would be like to have both of us in a car! Can't imagine what kinda mess we'll create.. LOL.. Thanks for sharing~! ;D
