I just nibble on a bar of soap like a normal person.

Shower oranges are surprisingly kick-ass. Had a few but gave it up after the novelty wore off and I was just wasting water to have a somewhat more exciting, cumbersome, and probably unsanitary orange.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That sounds good, especially if cold. And you can eat it like an animal and just let the juice go all over your body.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Orange juice for the orange juice god! Orange peels for the ~~compost pile~~ orange peel throne!

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You leave the peels at the bottom of your shower until you finish showering so that it smells nice and orangey for the whole time.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but what if you have to participate in an impromptu kart race

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Not possible. Everyone knows gamers don't shower.

Ribs in the shower is a definite timesaver.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now ribs I can see! They aren't in danger of getting soggy, and you could string them on a cord and hang them around your neck like a merger of caveman fashion and an adult version of the candy necklace.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

That would save on so many napkins!

Beer, wine, or mead in a shower is a good time. This is just… not heresy, but something close.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You like a shower beer...now just imagine adding a reuben. How is it not even better? Do you just not like reubens?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Your shower must be more spacious than mine because I have a hard time imagining keeping it dry. My shower also lacks a sandwich shelf like yours.

Are you sure you're in the shower? ... or at a rowdy German Octoberfest and covered in urine?

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean we all get perverted thoughts, like, “Oh hell yeah, shower burrito” but we need that self control or else the drain is clogged with cheese.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago

That's an unfortunate waste of cheese

Cotton candy has to be the worst shower snack.

The best is definitely beer.

I thought that was part of a pickle spear on the shelf below

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Oh shit is it not?

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why is nobody concerned about the pickle?
Is it a pickle??

Since we're apparently doing shower-food horrors, I'm just going to propose Ortolan.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ortolan is a small songbird that is found in Europe. It is a protected species in many countries due to declining numbers. However, in France, there was a long tradition of capturing, force-feeding and drowning ortolans in Armagnac to produce a dish considered the height of gourmandise.

The fuck is wrong with the French

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And it's done traditionally to wear a towel over your head as you eat the entire bird, bones at and all, in one bite...

...to hide from God, who knows what you did.

I'm not joking.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago

They used a napkin, not an actual towel. The French word for napkin is serviette, which is also the word for towel.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuckin eh. Is that worse than foie gras? I don't even know.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well ortolan was typically eaten with a napkin covering one's head, to hide one's shame from God for eating it.

Shower beer > shower ruben

load more comments (2 replies)

There are no dry corners in my shower. The shower head rules all. Only beer is allowed.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

We had a large system outage in the 90's and they flew in technicians to rebuilt the whole system.

One of the guy, somehow some way managed to wedge in a shower beer into conversation.

A shower beer?

"A shower beer... it's the best thing ever, really hot water, really cold beer"

I tried it, honestly didn't get it.

The shower ruben has me way more interested. But I think the steam in the air would ruin some of the aromatic notes.

Also, I can't find good corned beef anywhere near here.

Icy pops. Known by many different names regionally, it's those plastic tubes with frozen sugar water in them

Hot water on skin + sweet frozen water in mouth = mmmmmmm

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Anyone not saying shower orange is objectively wrong.

They made a whole subreddit about the phenomenon if you're a nonbeliever. It's an experience that transcends snacks.

Shower chickpeas is the way to go. Pop open a can, rinse in the shower, eat fistfulls. Yim yum.

If you're not having Ovaltine made of your own shower water, are you even drinking your Ovaltine?

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sure as fuck ain't drinking your ovaltine.

Shower beer is hard to beat
