Open Container Law Not Only Bans Booze In Cars But FOOD As Well

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- There's a problem with the open-container law in Fort Wayne.

Officials have discovered that the ordinance bans all open containers in vehicles -- not just containers of alcohol.

That means an open can of soda, or even an open bag of chips in the car, is technically against the law, and could be subject to a $50 fine.

City attorneys have brought the matter to the attention of the City Council, which voted Tuesday to fix the law. The new version could get final approval next week.

3. One word why this is a bad idea--

Cheerios.

Every car that I've ridden in with a car seat also seems to have a bag or box of Cheerios in it. The law ostensibly bans having a snack for your toddler in the car.

4. No more baked beans behind the wheel

5. It's more dangerous to have a screaming toddler or fussy kids...

...in the backseat who are hungry and thirsty.

Cheerios and sippy cups save lives and sanity...
