The crunch moment for a quick snack

BRITONS are most likely to snack in the mid-afternoon – or at 12 minutes to four, to be precise.

The finding comes from a survey of 2,000 people, which also found that Britons were divided over the best type of snack.

For 43 per cent, a savoury treat was the go-to snack; 42 per cent sought a sweet option.

The study, carried out by pork jerky snack-maker Peperami, also found that four in ten respondents always ate the same snack.
