After a hard day, nothing beats a nice shower or a dip in the tub.
Yet Margot Robbie has stated that she isn’t satisfied with a bubble bath or a book.
But no, this Australian has taken it one, iconic step further, by enjoying a ‘beer bath’.
‘When I go home from work, I have a beer shower or beer bath if I have time,’ remarked the Wolf of Wall Street star recently.
No, she isn’t soaking in beer, but rather sipping one while lathering up.
It turns out that the actress isn’t the only one who enjoys shower beverages and nibbles.
We all have our favourite shower and bath goodies, according to a quick straw poll at Metro Headquarters.
In reality, it was a contentious matter, with strong views on what refreshments should and should not be permitted in the lavatory.
Therefore, without further ado, here is our ultimate list of shower and bath beverages and nibbles, from worst to finest.
10. Porridge
When one Metro journalist admitted to eating oatmeal in the bath, mouths dropped open.
For those of us who prefer our baths hot, this warming dish seemed excessive.
And it is not without danger. If you find mushy oats in your bubbles, it’s time to pull the plug.
9. Crisps
While crisps are a convenient snack on the move, we can’t help but think they have no place in the toilet.
While one Metro writer insisted that dipping into a package of Walkers provided for a pleasant swimming experience, there is a considerable possibility of crumbs in the water. Also, all of the steam will destroy the ‘crisp’.
There’s also something about the aroma of cheese and onion that doesn’t scream “relaxed and rejuvenated” to us.
8. Spring rolls
The appeal is understandable. A spring roll is designed to be eaten with your hands, and the pastry covering should keep any bean sprouts from escaping.
Yet, the hot climate inside a lavatory might result in a soggy spring roll, which no one likes.
5. Tea and biscuits
A cup of tea with a scone is a British tradition. But, we have misgivings. Tea must be prepared to individual requirements, and adding more water from a shower might cause issues.
There’s also steam, which may cause even the toughest digestives to breakdown.
Here again, we have temperature concerns: surely a tea in a bath should come with a side of ice cold water?
6. Cheese
Someone here disclosed that she converts her baths into a mini cocktail party for one, complete with cheese cubes that she nibbles with a cocktail stick – typically accompanied by a wonderful bottle of red, of course.
We don’t have any notes. It’s never a bad idea to eat cheese.
5. Chocolate
Of all, we don’t need an excuse to eat chocolate, but a wash is just as good.
According to one Twitter user, the dampness really improves the taste of the chocolate.
We’re not sure about the science, but having that chocolate melt in your lips as you soak sounds quite amazing.
4. Ice cream
While we’ve learned that some people enjoy the warming sensation of a hot beverage in the bath, one idea here sparked our interest: ice cream.
A sundae might be a terrific addition to your washing experience if you need to chill down in a hot bath or shower.
But, proceed with caution: you risk your ice-cream cone dissolving in the water and steam, or giving your ice-cream its own bath as water streams into your bowl.
3. Strawberries
A strawberry, like the cold sensation of ice cream, makes for a delicious fruity snack.
This sounds like a match made in heaven: bite-size and simple to pop into your mouth mid-scrub. Strawberries may even enhance the aroma of your sweet shower gel. Ideal.
2. Bubbles
No, not the soapy variety. We’re talking bubble bath with champagne.
Simply said, fizz elevates practically every situation, so why not pour yourself a glass as you soak? Bliss.
1. Oranges
This zesty shower experience has lately been all over TikTok, and it was even discussed in a 2015 subreddit.
Shower steam is claimed to accentuate the fragrance of the orange, making your bathroom seem like an aromatherapy resort.
The shower also helps to wipe away the sticky orange juice from your fingertips as you peel. A win-win situation.
