Such a strange combination...you all know "Don't drink and drive" but for me I don't eat raisins and drive anymore. I use to work 12 hour nightshifts and have to commute an hour home. You are really tired most of the time after those shifts. So I tried many things to keep me awake when I felt so exhausted and sleepy on the way home. There was eating ice...I got so cold doing that, opeing the window same thing, blasting music, slapping my face, screaming while I was singing. Some worked but I was always up for something new. So one morning I thought I would snack on a pack of raisins on the long ride home. So I started eating them and they actually worked. I was driving in the fast lane with no traffic in sight. Finally I got to the bottom of the box where most of you know, they stick to the bottom. I was intent on getting those. I was really concentrating on those few at the bottom, when all of a sudden I heard rocks kicking up under my car. While I was so intent on getting those last few raisins, I veered into the shoulder on the left. I looked into my rear view window and saw all the car behind me had hit their breaks and started to slow down. I got back into the fast lane dropped the attempt with my raisins and drove all the way home freaked out enough to stay awake. So I warn those who do eat raisins and drive....forget the ones on the bottom or have someone get them for you. To day the thing the keeps me awake in those situations....sour candy, you should try it!
