12. Live Squid -- They are all tentacley -- which could be distracting while going down the road!
13. Human Flesh -- It is illegal in all 50 states and getting pulled over while eating h

I think the company posted the most common foods and drinks consumed while driving, hoping that people who have no knowledge of statistics will stop consuming those specific foods. It's not the food itself, it's the act!
