Question: Is Whole Foods chicken salad good? I’m afraid of mayo that isn’t mine.
Rule: It is only okay to auto-eat one-handed foods that are not sticky, slippery, drippy or require utensils. And you have to be very hungry and a good driver to start with.

not to be a stickler for technicalities but if someone just purchased all that potato salad at a supermarket, wouldn’t presumably their car already be in a spot outside the store? Is it a question of parking before buying the salad or after? I am confused on that one but I do know this, if you eat it in the car better put the air on or that mayo will spoil quickly and the question will be what road rules apply to a driver racing to the ER while also vomiting out the window.

I admit, I used to be an auto-eater. I was never able to manage a whole sandwich, but I definitely munched on fries while stopped at red lights.

You need not worry though. I have a new (well, ALMOST new) car that I don’t want to get crumbs in. My auto-eater days are over.

I like that you have tags for both “Taco Bell” and “Carl’s Jr.”

Very classy.

Joel - You know you’ve almost hit some schoolchildren while downing a messy churro in a school zone.

Well, being one of the few autmotively challenged LAers, this means nothing to me. Nothing, that is, other than a good solid laugh. I declare this officially fun!
