Please add as per your own personal experiences ... if any. Thanks.
1 ... Coffee. It always finds a way out of the cup ... spills ... hot distraction.
2 ... Hot soup. Many people drink it like coffee. spills and hot.
3 ... Tacos. “A food that can disassemble itself without much help, leaving your car looking like a salad bar,” ... Distraction ...
4 ... Chili. Dangerous drips and slops down the front of clothing.
5 ... Burgers. Grease, ketchup, mustard on your hands, your clothes and the steering wheel ... you reach for tissues or anything to wipe ... dangerous.
6 ... Barbecue. Spicey and dicey. There is the temptation to lick your fingers ... 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.
10 .. Soft drinks. Prone to spills and sudden fizzing if car makes sudden movements. Cola fizz in the nose is perilous while driving.
11 .. Chocolate. Tempting but treacherous. Try to clean it off the steering wheel and you’re likely to end up swerving.
And if you drive manual car ... car with a stick shift while eating doubles the potential for an accident, since one hand is holding food and the other hand is shifting. That leaves no hands for steering ...
Even more dangerous is using a cell phone, eating and driving. “When the phone rings, the driving distraction increases significantly and, in a rush to answer, drivers forget they’re driving.”

Good question!!!
Life is so fast here. The driving distances are quite long. There are lots of people you can see while they are driving it is quite common.
Thats why all major food chain stores are with 'Drive-Thru', where you don't need to come-out of your car to get food. You order sitting in your car and get the stuff you want!
