Isn't this just YouTube "food reviewer" types?
I don't watch those so I don't think so
You don't have to watch them to know that they exist in great abundance.
The start of that sentence was "from what I've seen"
Those videos give me anxiety when they’re eating a big sloppy sandwich or whatever, because I’m waiting for it to splooge out all over their clothes or upholstery.
That seems like it would be the best part
I think there are three elements that contribute to car-eating being more prevalent in the US than other countries:
- Drive-through culture
- American cities and suburbs are often designed around driving rather than walking or public transport, so there's already more of a car-centric lifestyle
- Approximately 45% of the country is parking lots
Also, the insides of fast food places are disgusting and weird and never clean. No one wants to eat inside them.

the only time i ever eat in the car is roadtrips. although when my wife eats in my car (usually candy), she treats it like her personal refuse bin that i always have to clean out. i don't like it.
and despite jorge's belief (which is, i'm sure, otherwise mathematically precise), "approximately" 45% of the us is not parking lots. it's strip malls.

You too, huh? Goddamn this drives me crazy. I just cleaned out my door and floorboard from the last time she was in my car.

I heard a comedian (Greg? Warren) on a podcast (Nateland) this summer talking about a fan who wrote in and said she saw him perform on Friday night and then eating a Subway sandwich in his car the next day. It really made me laugh. It’s just such a perfect example of how the people we admire or at least think live so differently from us are just like the rest of us.
