There’s nothing like cooking a full meal for the family… gathering everyone together… and sitting down around the coffee table while binge-watching Netflix.
Romance is alive and well. 😂
According to a survey of 30,000 people worldwide, the average dinner time is 6:44 P.M. ⏰ And we typically spend about 27 minutes eating.
But where we’re eating? That’s where things get interesting 👀
Here’s the breakdown:
- 🪑 44% eat at a kitchen table
- 🍽️ 34% eat at a dining room table
- 📺 25% eat at a table in the living room
- 🛋️ 18% eat on the COUCH
- 🧍♂️ 4% eat while standing in the kitchen
- 🛏️ 4% eat in BED
Yes. In. Bed.
And before you assume it’s just grandma with her stories and a TV tray… think again.
Gen Z is about TWICE as likely to say they eat dinner in bed. 🫠
On top of that:
- 📺 40% of people watch TV while eating with others in their household
- 🎬 15% watch TV while eating — even when guests are over
- 📵 Only 7% say their kitchen table is a true “device-free zone”
Seven percent?! That means almost everyone else has a phone, tablet, laptop, or TV involved in dinner somehow.
So the real question is…
Is eating on the couch just modern comfort? Or are we slowly killing the “family dinner” vibe? 🍝💀
And if someone invites you over for dinner and serves you on the couch… is that chill or disrespectful?
Let’s hear it. Are you Team Table or Team Couch? 👇
