There are
certain foods that are more annoying to the ear than others. Carrots are by far
one of the loudest foods to eat with apples in a close second, coming up in an
easy third are Doritos flavored tortilla chips. First off we have carrots, an
easy and accessible vegetable that makes a great snack. But the entire time you
chew a single carrot, your crunching away just like bugs bunny. Secondly we
have apples. Apples are one of my favorite fruits, but they are very noisy to
bite into. They are the kind of food people should eat when they are alone. It’s
very distracting to be sitting in a lecture hall listening to your professor
and all of the sudden you here a big slurp and crunch. Lastly we have Doritos,
which is one of my favorite types of chips. Doritos usually get a double whammy
while being consumed. Not only are they crunchy they also make your hands
filthy. Since Doritos are finger licking good, everyone knows what comes next.
The ever so satisfying yet sinful act of licking the nacho cheese, right from
the tips of your fingers.
I’m not
going to lie, some of the best tasting foods are quite noisy to consume. But
why not try to make an effort to be quieter while chewing. Next time your
eating an obnoxious sounding food, pretend you’re on a first date with someone.
Do you want them to see you chewing like a cow? I’m sure your date doesn’t want
to see what your eating once its already been chewed. And I’m sure they want to have a proper
conversation with you, instead of hearing food mush and crunch while they are
trying to eat their own meal. Some of you may already know you chew loud and
obnoxious, some may not. Next time your eating carrots in class, think about
those around you who have to listen to you eat your lovely snack. You may not
know it, but you’re probably going to be grating someone’s cheese…
