ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Three-fourths of U.S. adults admit that hunger gets the best of them five times per week, culminating in over 21,000 "hangry" outbursts over the course of their lives – which all adds up to nearly a lifetime of "hanger" management.

Key Points: 
  • The study, conducted by OnePoll , found that people most commonly experience hangeras feelings of anger, grumpiness, impatience and fatigue.
  • Slightly more than half of those surveyed (52%) say "a hot, savory snack is more satiating than a cold one."
  • Many people also admitted to committing major food faux pas in an effort to stave off hanger pains.
  • Grocery shopping under the influence of hanger should also be avoided, as it often results in big checkout receipts and impulse buys.
