美國人一生平均花3萬美元買零食

What would you do for a lifetime supply of snacks? According to new research, a sixth of Americans would completely shave their head.

你會做什么來獲得一生的零食供應(yīng)?根據(jù)一項新的研究，六分之一的美國人會完全剃光他們的頭發(fā)。

The survey of 2,000 Americans found snacks aren’t the only thing to drive respondents to extremes — the same number (16 percent) would also shave their head for a lifetime supply of chocolate.

這項針對2000名美國人的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，零食并不是唯一能讓受訪者走向極端的東西——同樣數(shù)量的人(16%)也會剃光頭，以換取一輩子的巧克力供應(yīng)。

Respondents are truly willing to go above and beyond for their treats — 18 percent of those surveyed would forgo all of their electronic devices for one full month to snag a lifetime supply of snacks.

受訪者真的很愿意為自己的零食做更多的事情——18%的受訪者會放棄所有的電子設(shè)備整整一個月，以搶占一輩子的零食供應(yīng)。

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Moonstruck Chocolate Co., the survey looked to see how much respondents would save if they took these drastic measures.

這項由Moonstruck Chocolate Co.委托OnePoll公司開展的調(diào)查旨在了解如果采取這些極端措施，受訪者能省下多少錢。

At $9.22 a week, Americans’ beloved snacks add up to $479.44 a year — meaning the average respondent will spend $28,766.40 just on snacks during their lifetime.

每周9.22美元，美國人喜愛的零食加起來每年479.44美元，這意味著平均受訪者一生中只會在零食上花費28766.40美元。

The survey also examined American’s snacking preferences and their favorite snack combinations.

在決定是甜還是咸的問題上，被調(diào)查者各執(zhí)一詞，37%的人喜歡甜的，34%的人喜歡咸的。

Sweet and salty snackers have found common ground through a classic snack — potato chips, with 80 percent of sweet snackers and 84 percent of salty snackers saying it’s a staple of theirs.

愛吃甜食和咸食的人通過一種經(jīng)典小吃——薯片找到了共同點，80%愛吃甜食的人和84%愛吃咸食的人都說薯片是他們的主要選擇。

Even though sweet snackers enjoy the occasional salty snack, their go-to is milk chocolate — at 83 percent.

盡管愛吃甜食的人偶爾也會吃些咸的，但他們最喜歡的還是牛奶巧克力，占83%。

Salty snackers also love their milk chocolate, coming in behind potato chips at 63 percent.

受訪者似乎也很贊成將巧克力和其他好吃的食物結(jié)合起來。四成受訪者表示，最受歡迎的巧克力組合是焦糖，巧克力和堅果緊隨其后，占39%。

Moonstruck巧克力公司的研發(fā)經(jīng)理梅根·杰恩斯(Megan Jeans)說：“每種巧克力都提供了獨特的品嘗體驗，允許各種配對機會創(chuàng)造獨特的口味組合。”。

Results showed that Americans are willing to imbibe in some unique combinations for snacking as well.

結(jié)果顯示，美國人也愿意在一些獨特的組合中攝入零食。

Twenty-one percent of respondents said they’d try cheddar cheese and apple pie, 18 percent would try strawberries with balsamic vinegar and 14 percent said they’d even try chocolate and pizza together.
