Nope, nope. Candy was also on the list, though!

If I ever see anyone driving while eating noodles with chopsticks, there's going to be a reckoning.

Marmite on toast, possibly with a slice of haggis?

Marmite:  "Described as "salty tractor grease" this spread is made from the yeast gunk they scoop out of beer vats when they are finished with them. You may have heard of Vegemite in Australia which is almost the same thing.  Definitely an acquired taste. Usually used in sarnies (sandwich) with cheese."

Dangerous or not, while driving, it should be flat-out illegal to eat this stuff AT ANY TIME.

Ever hear of "Scrapple?" I'd take the scrapings of a beer vat (ahh, beer) any day over that crap.

But no to all recent guesses. Here's a clue: it's not something you'd ever imagine being the "most" dangerous food to eat while driving. Soup, oysters, stuff you have to pay attention to... these are what I'd have thought. But this #1 most dangerous food is nothing like that.

Ahhh, beer. I love it so. I'm not supposed to drink it on account of having celiac disease, but life without beer isn't worth living. Shit, life isn't really worth living, so take away beer and it's just that much worse.


RAmen.

What could be more dangerous to eat while driving than soup? Good gravy... a live lobster? Can we get a hint here? It's actual food, right? Edible? Non-living (at time of consumption)? It's not, like, a rocket propelled grenade launcher, or a telephone book?

My one serious guess will have to go to: steak, because you typically require two hands to eat it?

But wait... can the foodstuff/thing/item be a combo of sorts? Like a Denny's Grand Slam breakfast of pancakes? If so, I choose that. If there's one thing American more frightening than hunting with Dick Cheney it's Denny's .......... * uncontrollable shuddering *

If being wrong's a crime I'm serving forever

Hrmmm....  I'm still going to go fast foods and say "fries" (or chips for the non-McD'ers).  That'd be a food type in the car fairly often.  All fast food places pretty much sell chips, so they're pretty common.

If it wasn't any type of fast food at all, then I'd say fruit...  surely there's a lot of fruit in cars, especially on weekends when people go to watch kids play sports etc.

Vegemite, Marmite, and Promite = the unholy trinity.  For some reason, foreigners expect that Vegemite is going to be sweet, something like 'Nutella' or another chocolate/peanut paste.  I have to admit that there is a sad, despicable little part of me that enjoys watching people try Vegemite for the first time.

I'll be serious.  How about salad?  I can't imaging even attempting to eat one while driving.

To those "not from around these here parts":  I meant no offense when I joked about marmite and haggis.  We Americans have our share of strange foods too.  After all, what could possibly account for Crystal Light, Twinkies, and as Steerpike said, Scrapple?

I learnt about Twinkies from the most excellent Ghostbusters.

Isn't Crystal Light a PSN game you can download?  And as for Scrapple, I have no idea.  I had a nice dessert in Vancouver, I think it was called a 'beaver's tail' (which it obviously wasn't).  Normally I wouldn't go anywhere near something that was named as a tail.

Jarrod, you are scant microns from the correct answer.

Hints: it is a single foodstuff, not a meal . It requires no preparation on the part of the eater. Brits and Aussies use a different word to describe this food than Americans and Canadians do.

HEY! Don't you be dissing my Scrapple! That is food of the gods, I tell you. Food. Of. The. Gods.

Just don't read the ingredients list… or attempt to count calories… or fat grams.

My guess is Poutine!

Jen wins! Well done!

Toger, scrapple is a sausage made of everything so revolting that even sausage makers wouldn't use it. It's like... hoof, and snout hair, and eyeball, and rectum, all ground and rolled into a tube. I think I'd eat head cheese before I ate scrapple. That shit ain't right.

It's ambrosia. Especially if you're from Philly and grew up eating it... like I am/did. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Don't you people in Michigan eat weird shit... like that horrid lye-boiled fish stuff (the name escapes me at the moment) I saw Alton Brown spit that stuff out and bury it in a park!

We don't eat weird shit in Michigan! "lye-boiled fish?" I've never even heard of that. We eat normal foods here.

Scrapple. Honestly, even the word is revolting.

I don't see how it's any grosser eating a snout than a rump or a rib. Meat is meat. It's all about teh flava! I will confess I have never even heard of scrapple, let alone tasted it.

Your next question, the answer to which might be considered a harbinger of the fall of western civilization: What movie hold the record as the top-grossing on a single day?

Don't think I've heard of Poutine...  I wonder if any Aussies have died eating it while driving?  Statistics, anyone?

And Avatar did extremely well at the box office - did it generate the best sales on a single day?

So I don't get how chips are so dangerous unless people get their hands stuck in the bag. Which I would totally believe.

Was it Spiderman-whatever-the-last-one-was?

My other guess is too scary to actually type out cause I would have had contact with the fans...
