The No Food Rule Looks at the Etiquette of Eating in a New Car

This chart takes a look at the etiquette surrounding eating food in a new car. The humorous study takes a look at how long the no food rule (usually strictly enforced by new car owners) takes to break down. If you're a bit of a neat freak and like to keep your personal space, especially your car, pristine at all times, you'll definitely get a chuckle out of this unscientific study.

'The declining resolve of brand new car owners over time' chart will show you just how quickly drivers can go from "No eating, not in my baby" to "Hey could you pass the fries." Get the air fresheners and vacuum cleaners out and get ready to roll on through your nearest drive-thru guilt-free.
