Survey says average American spent 448 hours of the pandemic on their sofas
2020 has been a bumpy ride, and a new survey shows millions of Americans are riding it out on their sofas -- to the tune of 448 hours in the past 32 weeks.
The non-scientific survey of 2,000 Americans conducted by the furniture companyArticlealso revealed that 70% of those polled now consider their sofa their best friend.
Sixty percent of those polled said their treasured piece of furniture has become their default workstation while they work from home. And even when they're not working, 7 in 10 now say their perfect night means they won't have to leave their living rooms.
Forty-two percent of those polled say they're spending their time ordering in food; thirty-five percent said they're spending their time binging Netflix; 35% are playing board games with family; and 32% say they're catching up on reading -- the same percentage of those who say they've been having virtual hangouts with their friends.
You Can Now Get A Candle That Smells Like 2020
There’s no doubt 2020 has been a tough year for all of us, and who would really want to relive it, but now you can, at least with your sense of smell.
The novelty company Flaming Crap is now selling what they are calling the “2020 Scent” candle, which has four “quintessential aromas” of the year, including banana bread, hand sanitizer, woody musks, and “budget aftershave and earthy essence” to evoke the aromas of “Tiger King” Joe Exotic.
“Many people have mixed feelings about this year, it’s been tough on many levels, but others valued their time in lockdown,”Oliver Burr,the co-founder of Flaming Crap, shares. “Our candle is reminiscent and a reminder of some of this year’s most prominent themes, and a completely unique gift this festive period.”
And while you may not think people would be interested in reliving these scents, Flaming Crap says they have already sold out of the first batch, with a second batch expected to be shipped before Christmas. They cost about $20.
