Yesterday, I filled a bowl with skittles candy and the other with Andy Capps cheddar fries. A sweet snack and a savory snack

While reading, I usually don't eat, but if someone offers me something while reading, such as fruits or nuts, I don't mind

If the book is good, then no, but if it's putting me to sleep, then yes, in an effort to stay awake, I'll grab a jar of peanut butter and dig in.

I like to eat just about anything from noodles to biscuits to cookies to peanuts. Sometimes I get popcorn. Other times I get a sprite or coke. It gets me excited while reading. ☺️

All the time! I have to eat and drink something while I read! I feel bored with my hands and have to do something, so stuffing my face seems like the best option :lol2:

I am so bad at multitasking; for me, it's best to separate the two in order to focus. Besides, mindful eating is a thing I've been trying o improve for a long time so I'd rather not read at the same time. :D

I tend to be very distracted if I'm not solely paying attention to the book or my food would stand too long.

I do eat when I'm reading sometimes, but I would prefer not to because I will binge eat a box of crackers or chips and not even realize what I did. I zone out when reading so it's better if I'm not eating at the same time.

Yes I enjoy reading with my mouth whining. It keeps me motivated and makes the book more interesting lol. But sometimes I end up spilling some on the book, lol

I don't usually eat or drink anything when I read but sometimes I will nibble on a snack or two. Mostly chips but just a handful.

I will eat, but I prefer drinks. I don't want to stain the pages; that's the only thing I care about.
