You don’t get to fully enjoy the snacks’ taste and feeling because you’re focused on the movie, and you don’t get to fully enjoy the movie because the snacking doesn’t let you immerse in it. The crunching distracts you, and the taste makes you feel good even if the movie sucks, giving you a false perception of it. It’s much better to do both separately.

I’m capable of multitasking on this level
Please speak for yourself.
Eating snacks during a movie is my subway surfers in the bottom right corner.
Speak for yourself.
This isn’t an unpopular opinion. This is something health care people have been saying for decades to people who want to lose weight.
I feel like this is a skill issue lol, I’m able to multitask both and enjoy them each as if doing them separately. May as well save time and do both together.
I personally exclusively enjoy my snacks in a sensory deprivation tank so I can savor the subtle flavors of my peanut butter M&M’s
This sounds like sensory issues or something like that. I’ve never once been that distracted from a movie because of my own chewing.
Do you eat while watching something to discover you stopped chewing and all the food fell out of your mouth?
I’m capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time; it turns out I can also focus on a TV show and enjoy the taste of popcorn at the same time.
I need my dopamine hits hard, eating and watching something at the same time is my dopamine hit of choice.
I imagine OP sits in a silent dark room to eat his or her food, can’t be letting things like sound or seeing stuff distract you
Someone doesn’t know how to multitask
Believe it or not, there’s actually people that eat dinner while watching tv.
What in the cinnamon toast fuck did I just read
sad that your smooth brain does not allow this to happen for you. sadder still that you actually inflicted this on us.
No kind words to express my opinion on this, but upvote for being unpopular
As a person whose favorite time of day is when I cook up a delicious meal then devour it while watching YouTube videos on my TV, I whole heartedly disagree. Take my upvote.
Sounds like a you thing. I’m capable of enjoying both at the same time
