What's the best type of food to eat in a shower?
(Assuming the shower is running. Any temperature.)
The best I could come up with was a hot soup, but eventually you'll get more water then broth. There has to be a better food out there for those hungry showers!
Something hot in an open bowl sounds like the worst food to eat in a shower TBH.
I'd go with something cold in a tube, like an ice pop. Or maybe a beer in one of those fancy insulated tumblers with a closeable lid.
I drink beers out of cans/bottles while showering regularly. The amount of water that gets into the can/bottle is neglible.
No glass bottles please. We don’t want you to star in any internet videos of horribly disfiguring home accidents, if you slip.
For fast eating challenge try cotton candy
Do this if you have ever wanted to identify with a raccoon.
Cured sausage. It doesn't dissolve or absorb water.
A summer sausage in the shower is one of life's guilty pleasures.
Perfect pairing with a shower beer
A nice spicy chorizo
What the hell is wrong with people...
My question stands.
The ninja has sexy eyes
In fairness, the place isn't called "sensible questions".
Beer.
But for safety's sake, please make sure it's into a can. :)
If anyone has not had a shower beer you should try it!
Serious question: what's up with the whole shower beer thing? I have definitely had a beer in the shower a few times in my life, which could be described as rock bottom or a really fun crazy night...
Is it essentially glass-of-wine-in-the-bathtub selfcare?
Back when I smoked I would have a beer and a cig.
Is there a shower veer community somewhere on the fediverse?
I enjoy eating peaches in the shower Any messy fruit, really, but stone fruits in general.
You can just shamelessly get in there, get that nectar all over your face, and enjoy it. Probably more enjoyable if you have a beard and need to eat carefully.
I no longer drink, so this is like my shower beer now.
What about shower oranges?
Well obviously
I prefer to run a hot bath with a bunch of bouillon cubes. I bring salad and breadsticks in with me for the unlimited experience Olive Garden promises, but refuses to actually provide paying customers.
When I was in the military, there was a dude that was disgusting. He rarely showered to the point that he had to be ordered to shower. One time, his roommates got so frustrated with him, they took the shower head off, shoved a few bullion cubes in there, and forced him to shower. The dude couldn't figure out why he smelled like chicken soup.
I've always wanted to try this. It's exactly what I was thinking of.
slaps top of bathtub this bad boy can fit so much spaghetti in it
Mangoes because you can go primal without a care
Oh this is a great idea. You could like slice it with your eye teeth and then rip it open like a mad monke out for revenge. I feel like squatting would also give you more control as things get slippery...
Yeah this one feels right
My next door neighbor makes meals in his shower after getting a garbage disposal installed.
...how do you know that?
It's a Seinfeld reference.
Mango. Otherwise you just end up with a mess
Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.
At the worst point of my life I indeed had a shower crunch wrap after a brutal graveyard shift. This is the answer.
Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It's a really clever design.
Grapes.
You wanna get graped in the mouth in the shower?
Thawed frozen grapes.
People like grapes.
Does beer qualify as a food?
"Beer has food value. Food has no beer value." -some t-shirt I saw once
Guinness is food, light beers are drinks.
Eh, Guinness is about the lightest stout I've ever had
Can it be a bath instead of a shower?
Apple in a bath is really nice actually. Get a book, an apple, maybe a comforting beverage of your choice... it's great
Most fruit seems to be a good choice IMO. Even veggies may be a decent option. Grapes maybe?
Fruit is generally waterproof, so it's not like it will taste different in the shower.
I think anything with flour is probably a bad choice. Nobody likes soggy bread/cake/whatever.
I'd also consider any kind of cheeses or cured meat. Maybe a nice meat/cheese/fruit assortment?
Someone once said oranges are perfect for showers. Nice citrus aroma, no sticky mess from juice spray. I could see it ..
Nobody likes soggy bread/cake/whatever.
I'd love to introduce you to the best cake: Berry Chantilly Cake.
None.
Tropical fruit, so I can relive my trip to Thailand
There's the classic shower beer, and that's actually really fun. Like others said, be careful & if you want to be extra cautious, aluminum cans only or poured into a stainless steel vessel.
When I was a fat little teen, I somehow heard the idea of eating potato chips in the shower. I tried it & it was oddly satisfying. They were Ruffles. I only did it once or twice total, it would be kind of weird to do all the time.
Shower beers, however....always a good idea.
Vegetables and fruits. You'd wash them first anyway.
Everyone saying mango because of that meme but the answer is obviously WATERMELON. It's got water right in the name and is just as messy as mangoes!
BBQ on the bone - I haaate messy meals, so let's set up a table with slaw, taters and a nice rack slathered in sauce, get naked, and turn on the water.
None
It might help... you know - with the persistent dehydration.
An orange. Apparently it is a life changing experience according to a group on that other site.
Citrus fruit in general, yeah there is something about the steaminess of the shower and the sharp sweet sourness of citrus fruit.
PLUS you can eat whatever it is like a goddamn animal and not worry about pulp or other bits getting all over the place because you’re in the shower.
Citrus fruit.
I was thinking apple, but now I think a mandarin might be the answer
Beer.
Some scuba divers train to eat bananas underwater. I suspect that wouldn't be too bad in the shower
Concentrated lemonade…? 😳
- You let it it dilute as you go, as per your taste.
A block of hard cheese…? 😆
- It would be water resistant (waterproof) enough to last the whole shower.
That is an interesting thought experiment that never occurred to me.
This sub name fails.
Quite the contrary. The premise is that any question, no matter how apparently silly, weird or simple deserves a proper response. "No silly questions" as in "there are no silly questions".
Apple
Beef jerky?
Frozen watermelon
I like to drink beer in a shower. Not sure if you count it as food
It counts.
Coffee is also nice. Not sure about tea...
Chicken wings. When you finish one, just chuck the bone right into the toilet
Support your local plumber!
Life pro-tip: a shower caddy/organizer is also a great holder for your blue cheese or ranch dressing!
You, sir, are a genius
Oranges, apparently.
Fruit
Ice pops! It's great to be in a hot shower and then take a bite of sweet cold ice
Shower orange!!!
An entire thanksgiving turkey.
The cavity makes a nice cup - and at a certain point you get to start enjoying Turkey soup.
Kramer?
Two steaks at the same time
Is beer a food?
Those wings that are so hot they make you cry. That way you're in the shower and no one can see your tears.
I think American's call them OtterPops? We call them icy poles. Wherever you are in the world, those things.
What a question to see after the Quora post.
Fruit kebab and pacifico in a steaming hot shower.
Steak
A loaf of bread.
With your back to the water, barbecue. Messy as hell. But that doesn't matter cause you're in the shower.
My kids will eat anything in the shower. But I would say mango, I can only eat that over the sink anyway, so messy.
Fish. They eat all their food wet so why not eat them when they're drowning in shower water?
curry. It may not appear ideal at first glance: water sprays on that and your flavor goes down the drain, literally. HOWEVER, with careful placement of the food container, you could effectively minimize the amount of water getting into your curry, minimizing loss of flavor. If your curry is too hot and you start to sweat, you can simply turn the tap colder to cool yourself down while you eat. When you're done, you don't need a finger bowl to clean your hands either, just run them under the shower water. Best enjoyed with rice, as the roti will get too soggy.
Something dry that even in hot humid air won't spoil quickly.
Cheese seems like a good bet. Certain cooked and cured meats similarly; salami or beef jerky, cooked sausages etc.
But ultimately why would you eat in the shower? The real problem is either time management issue or eating too much of you really need to cram food in your gob while showering. Also would waste more water and time in the shower if you're both eating and cleaning yourself.
Its the sort of seemingly innocuous question that actually shows you maybe should be taking a long hard look at your life priorities. The shower is a good place to think about that, maybe while chewing on a block of cheddar cheese.
Maybe they just enjoy long showers and get peckish part way through.
You don't know them.
Your statements are very judge-y. Leave OP alone. If they want to eat in the shower, let them.
Spaghetti.
Start raw, but shower so hot they are cooked at the end
A baloney sandwich and a pickle
I used to drink cold bottles of beer while showering. Very doable.
I can't believe that no one has mentioned the famous shower orange yet. On Reddit there is a whole subreddit dedicated to it.
A cold orange in the shower is perfect – it's refreshing, it smells great and you don't have to deal with the usual mess of eating an orange.
??? The peel is what I'd consider the messy part. Are people just stomping it down the drain?
The visual of someone waffle stomping an orange is top tier. Thank you.
Peel before shower?
You take care of that part later, I guess. The whole point of the shower orange IMO is to go primal on it and tear it open and chow down without concern for mess or eating it efficiently. Leaving the peel to pick up afterwards probably just gives the rest of your shower a nice citrus aroma.
Ew, why would I want poopy oranges
You make a persuasive argument
Perfect indeed 🤔
