I heard on the news today that "1 in 5 Brits admit to snacking in the loo". The most popular item is chocolate and second is potato chips. Apparently they don't want others to know they are cheating on their diet. And yes, they are eating while sitting on the toilet!
Amazing what passes for "news" in the US.

I would just like to say that I am definitely not one of the 1's  That does not paint us in a good light at all!! |

willowsmum people in the US follow what the British are doing and do likewise. My guess is that is happening in the US also!

Ugh! The thought of eating on the toilet  I'm sure my family would hear the crunching if I was eating crisps!! |

Eww. I've not heard that news in the UK. Not somewhere I choose to have a snack.

… and who is actually going to own up to that??  . Surely that question has been pranked - the famous tongue in cheek, satirical British humour?? |

It think it less likely for people to admit to it, although if the poll was anonymous then they might. I'll certainly hide if I don't want people to know I'm eating, but not in the loo. Are we counting people who eat in the bath in a bathroom that contains a toilet?  |

Do people eat in the bath? I've heard of drinking wine in the bath.
I shower. Not sure it'd be possible to eat a twix, it'd melt.

Marianne Marlow I've seen on some TV movies a woman soaking in the tub with wine, reading a book, maybe with strawberries. I'm also a shower person so soaking in the tub has no appeal for me.

Baths are a waste of time, space and money in the world according to Hezz. Who wants to wash their face in the same water that they’ve washed their bum??  Ira, or the people who may be eating while in the bathroom (with said toilet), brushing hair, makeup etc. |

Was so much easier once my grandparents got rid of theirs. Baths are pretty boring, I can only read for so long in there. And it either gets cold quickly or I make it too hot. The only bath in this house is in my housemate's bathroom, ours just has a shower, and I just borrow it occasionally if, for some strange reason, I feel like having a bath. |

Agree. Also, to me washing is just a necessary chore that I get dome quickly. I have too many other things to do, to just sit around in my own grime. Plus, our bathroom is a toilet and bath in one. Guarantee that as soon as I'd sat in the bath, someone else would want to use the toilet. Baths are a waste of time, space and money in the world according to Hezz.

Showers are lovely and quick - in and out in three minutes. Washing yourself isn’t a luxury in the tropics. It’s a necessity.
