One in four Brits find themselves uncontrollably hungry by 10:30am, research has found. A study of 2,000 adults found they typically snack twice a day \u2013 with sausage rolls, crisps, biscuits, and bananas the most popular choices.<\/p>\n
But 27 percent get the munchies by mid-morning, and a third have even got out of bed for a midnight snack \u2013 with chocolate bars, nuts, cake, and crackers among other favourite treats.<\/p>\n
A spokesman from Wall’s, which commissioned the research as part of its \u201cWhen hunger calls, grab a Wall\u2019s\u201d campaign, said: \u201cSometimes a snack can be an absolute saviour to your day, as the research has shown.<\/p>\n
\u201cUncontrollable hunger at times can absolutely take over, and leave you unable to get on with your day until it\u2019s been satisfied.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd there\u2019s real enjoyment taken from ridding of this hunger whenever it strikes, with a snack never being far away.\u201d<\/p>\n
The study also found 23 percent of adults don\u2019t usually have breakfast, with 36 percent of those claiming they are more prone to snacking as a result.<\/p>\n
While watching TV, over the weekend, and in the workplace were the most common times and places to chomp on a treat.<\/p>\n
And more than \u00a310 is spent on them in a typical week, according to the OnePoll data.<\/p>\n

More than seven in ten (73 percent) have snacks stocked up in their homes for when they need them \u2013 and 25 percent have even hidden these from loved ones.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 21 percent have a dedicated drawer in their workplace to stash snacks away for when hunger calls.<\/p>\n
The importance of a snack cannot be underestimated, though, as 60 percent believe a great treat can save a rubbish day.<\/p>\n
And to avoid a bad day, 33 percent will typically pack themselves a treat to nibble on when leaving the house.<\/p>\n
However, one in five have been made to feel guilty about their snacking habits, with others pointing out the frequency with which they do so.<\/p>\n
The spokesman from Wall’s\u00a0added: \u201cHunger can be overpowering, and there\u2019s nothing worse than being caught short and having nothing to hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, there\u2019s no better feeling than finally chomping on something after having been hungry for a while, and satisfying that desire. Snacks such as sausage rolls are a great and versatile option for when hunger calls.\u201d<\/p>\n
