MORE THAN HALF (55%) OF AMERICANS ADMIT THEY HAVE MUTED THEMSELVES IN A VIRTUAL MEETING TO PASS GAS!
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY OF 2,000 ADULTS CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF GAS-X.
RESULTS SHOW MOST OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR IN A DINING ESTABLISHMENT (47%) OR WHILE TRAVELING (47%).
AND IF YOU’VE EVER HAD FOMO BECAUSE OF GAS AND BLOATING, YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
IN FACT, ONE IN THREE (34%) PEOPLE HAVE ABANDONED BIRTHDAY AND DINNER PARTIES DUE TO THE DISCOMFORT CAUSED BY THOSE SYMPTOMS.
THOUGH IT’S A COMPLETELY NORMAL BODILY FUNCTION, MOST RESPONDENTS AGREE GAS (68%) IS MORE EMBARRASSING THAN FINDING FOOD IN THEIR TEETH (44%), SOMETHING IN THEIR NOSE (49%) OR EVEN HAVING THEIR ZIPPER DOWN (43%).
