TV etiquette expert urges Brits to employ 'soft crunch technique' for crispy snacks - as poll suggests noisy eating is the UK's biggest annoyance

A TV etiquette expert named Laura Akano has proposed a 'soft crunch technique' to help British individuals eat crunchy snacks more quietly in public spaces. This method involves chewing slowly, keeping the mouth closed, and using specific hand gestures to minimize noise. The advice comes after a survey conducted by crispbread brand Ryvita revealed that 69% of UK adults find noisy eating to be their biggest annoyance, surpassing issues like loud music on trains, snoring, and crying babies. The survey also indicated that nearly half of respondents would support a ban on loud eating in public areas and suggested an 'eat considerately' warning on crunchy snacks. While the focus is on improving social etiquette, the article highlights growing societal sensitivity to noise levels in shared spaces.
