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!

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.
Waffle stomp gets me laughing every time in any context.
Peel before shower?
Oh, yeah, of course. that makes a lot more sense than what I was imagining.
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.
going primal on an orange, so unpeel, and eat it like an apple?
More like… take the orange, with the peel still on it, into the shower. Dig your fingers straight through the peel deep into the center of the orange, and then rip it open. Smash your whole face into the middle of the orange, shoving the sweet insides into your mouth and not caring that much of it is smearing on your face. Then shower normally… no sticky residue because you’re already in the shower and it washes right off.
So how do we give awards on here?
Ew, why would I want poopy oranges
Where else are you supposed to poop?
You make a persuasive argument
Perfect indeed 🤔
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

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?
For me it was part of pre-gaming. I didn't feel buzzed but for some reason getting out and being clean and 1 or 2 beers in set up the night. Now I have IBS so no more shower beers
Or just stay in the shower with your shower beer and it ends up being a self cleaning problem.
Back when I smoked I would have a beer and a cig.
Is there a shower veer community somewhere on the fediverse?
I hated that the reddit one went from enjoying a beer in the shower to just another place for people to show tits.
But we can certainly make one
Tits are tough to argue with
I like tits, but there was a specific gone wild version for those that wanted to be more explicit. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't want just another thirst trap.
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.
A peach. I prefer to eat my oranges segment by segment, so I don’t really find them messy, but a good, ripe peach should be messy as hell.
Is there a non segment by segment method of eating oranges?
Some people like to cut slices
That’s madness lol
I agree.
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
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 ..
I'd love to introduce you to the best cake: Berry Chantilly Cake.
Can it be a bath instead of a shower?
This is the trashiest boner I have ever had
You're welcome. 😂 I think I first found this in the days of dial-up, she's probably in her 50s by now, if she hasn't died of cheese-curl-induced diverticulitis or something.
That picture has way too many pixels for dial up days
Not if you had Napster and your parents didn't realize that you can just turn the monitor off without turning the whole computer off all night.
It looks too clear for even the digital cameras or scanners back in the day to me
Not to me. Scanners in that era weren't half bad. They were far from good by today's standards.... But to me it looks like someone took this picture with a film camera and this was a scan of a print.
Not a large print. But a print. Maybe a 5x7?
Apple in a bath is really nice actually. Get a book, an apple, maybe a comforting beverage of your choice... it's great
Tropical fruit, so I can relive my trip to Thailand
None.
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!
Vegetables and fruits. You'd wash them first anyway.
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
Apple
Beer.
Liquid
Calories
Uh...
Smoothies from a closed-lit container and a straw.
sip a nice cold smoothie in a hot shower, that's perfect
I guess most thing would be fine if it was put in a container.
Not many foods are edible without exposing them to shower water while taking them out, though.
I guess I've been eating most food wrong then.
Some scuba divers train to eat bananas underwater. I suspect that wouldn't be too bad in the shower
…why do they train that?
The potassium reacts with some of the salt water minerals to help them rapidly float to the surface if they run out of oxygen
That's a lie isn't it
Chemist here. All I can say is it's illegal to lie on the internet.
Hah! If you'd said you were a lawyer I'd have believed you. Idiot. /S
Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner

Concentrated lemonade…? 😳
A block of hard cheese…? 😆
That is an interesting thought experiment that never occurred to me.
Frozen watermelon
Beef jerky?
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...
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".
Those wings that are so hot they make you cry. That way you're in the shower and no one can see your tears.
Fruit
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.
Shower orange!!!
Ice pops! It's great to be in a hot shower and then take a bite of sweet cold ice
Kramer?
Is beer a food?
An entire thanksgiving turkey.
The cavity makes a nice cup - and at a certain point you get to start enjoying Turkey soup.
Two steaks at the same time
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.
Steak
Fruit kebab and pacifico in a steaming hot shower.
A loaf of bread.
Those fruit puree or yogurt squeeze pouches.
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.
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.
I used to drink cold bottles of beer while showering. Very doable.
A baloney sandwich and a pickle
Fish. They eat all their food wet so why not eat them when they're drowning in shower water?
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
