This is why eating oranges in the shower is trending

It's a thing.

Ah, you've got to love Reddit. It's where people go to tell their funniest/freakiest/most shocking stories and we can't get enough of it.

Whether it's Reddit's sex thread of people's unexpected sexual experiences, bridesmaids dilemmas or two line ghost stories that quite literally terrified us, we keep going back for more.

Now, the latest fad on the forum isn't quite what you might expect...

The internet has united to celebrate people who enjoy eating an orange in the shower.

Yep, you heard that right. And no, it's not a euphemism, we swear.

It is quite literally the act of just peeling an orange, and enjoying eating it in the shower.

Over 8,000 people are talking about it so it's obviously now a thing.

But why, you ask?

Because eating an orange is messy and sticky. But, more than that, eating an orange in the shower transcends happiness (apparently.)

'Tearing apart a cold fresh orange with your bare hands, just letting the juices run over your body,' wrote one person.

‘Not worrying if [you’re] going to get sticky, or anything. Just ripping it in half, and tearing into it with your teeth like a savage cannibal who hasn't eaten in a week!,' wrote another.

And now, there's a whole Subreddit dedicated to people who like to eat oranges in the shower (nudity is not allowed, FYI). And 'peel-eaters' are trending, too.
