We’re a nation of secret snackers

The average Brit has at least two snacks per day, but have you ever had a nibble in a toilet cubicle? Incredibly, 16% of us have, according to a poll by Peperami. One in five of us will squirrel away a snack for a soak in the bath and one in 10 have used a Wendy house to hide our eating habits. Other popular places for a quick scoff include the shed, storage room at work and the lift.

‘Sometimes, snacking away from others can give you a moment of peace to enjoy something in its purest form,’ says psychologist Jo Hemmings. ‘While many reach for snacks as a comforting habit, others would prefer people not to know about their cravings – either way, the locations speak for themselves of the lengths people will go to have a quick bite.’
