The 20 most boring foods to nibble on as Brits often suffer 'snack regret'
A study of 2,000 adults who snack found they typically reach for the same foods over and over again - resulting in over a third feeling bored by their food choices Crackers, cereal bars, and rice cakes have been crowned the dullest snacks in a survey of 2,000 adults. The research also placed biscuits, yogurt, and nuts in its 'top 20 most boring' list, with snacks that promise a quick fix often failing to deliver satisfaction. Interestingly, despite being go-to options, crisps and chocolate were also named the classics Brits have grown most tired of. Despite being bored with what's available, snacking remains a significant part of most people's routines, with more than half of respondents admitting to snacking between meals every single day. Yet only 5% dare to try a new snack weekly, while 22% experiment a few times a month. The research revealed 3pm as the most common time for snack attacks, with hunger, boredom, and habit cited as the main triggers. But the nation's nibbling habits aren't without drawbacks as 40% said they're sometimes left unsatisfied by what they choose, and 18% experience the dreaded 'snack regret' on a regular basis. The research was commissioned by Ginsters, which has launched Pockets, a new snacking range which can be enjoyed any time of the day whether you're out and about or at home. Radio presenter and Diversity member, Perri Kiely, who teamed with the Cornish brand, said: 'My snack routine is dependent on whatever I can grab in between my morning radio show and next presenting job so finding something that actually satisfies and fits in my pocket? That's a win. 'Talking to people about their snack habits showed the scale of snack regret – so many aren't satisfied whether they chose a carrot or a scotch egg.' The research looked into where snacking occurs and the factors influencing snack choices. It found the most common snacking spots included at work (30%), outdoors (14%), and even on public transport (7%). When it comes to the features people value most in a snack, taste topped the list for 44%, followed by being filling and satisfying (17%), and sheer convenience (15%). Over a third (35%) said they reach for a snack to combat an energy slump and keep going through the day. A spokesperson for Ginsters Pockets, which comes in five new street food flavours, added: 'We found that people are craving more variety and quality in their snack choices. 'It's not just about grabbing the nearest thing anymore; taste and satisfaction really matter. That's why we're focused on creating snacks that are tasty, filling and convenient, even in the middle of a hectic day.'

Boring snacks Brits are fed-up of - from crackers to cereal bars
Boring snacks Brits are fed-up of - from crackers to cereal bars A poll of 2,000 adults who snack found biscuits, yogurt and nuts also made the top 20 list of dullest foods to nibble on throughout the day. A study has discovered that the peak time for snacking is at 3pm, often driven by feelings of hunger, boredom, or simply out of habit. With over half of people in Britain confess to snacking between meals every single day. However, four out of 10 find themselves regularly dissatisfied with their snack choices, and a fifth experience 'snack regret' frequently. Bland snacks like crackers, cereal bars, and rice cakes seem to top the list when it comes to lacklustre nibbling options, based on research findings. A survey of 2,000 snack-eating adults revealed that even biscuits, yogurt, and nuts are among the top 20 uninspiring snacks enjoyed during the day. Despite this only 5 per cent explore new snack options weekly or more often, some 22 per cent venture into trying new snacks a few times each month. The study was undertaken on behalf of Ginsters, who have introduced a new snacking range called Pockets, designed to be convenient for munching on the go or at home.

Crackers and rice cakes made the top 20 list (Image: PinPep ) Flavour won out as the key factor in quick bites, with 44 per cent of people putting taste at the top of their priority list, while 17 per cent look for a snack that is filling and satisfying, and another 15 per cent value convenience. Over a third also say they often opt for snacks when they need an energy lift. The most common go-to snacks are biscuits, crisps, and chocolate; however, these are also the snacks individuals are most weary of. A representative for Ginsters Pockets, boasting five new street food-inspired variations, stated: 'We found that people are craving more variety and quality in their snack choices.
