A man has revealed that people are paying him online to eat certain foods in the shower including steak, pineapple and shrimp – earning himself over £100.
When Gaz found himself struggling to eat whenever suffering from a hangover, he tried various methods to help enjoy his food in peace.
Soon, he found that chowing down on eggs, sausages and bacon sandwiches while in the shower did the trick – and also saved him time while dealing with any unsightly hangover side effects.
Now, he’s sharing his bizarre mealtimes on Twitter, with one post racking up 1.1 million views and over 27,000 likes, and claims that sometimes people pay him to eat certain items, earning him $130 (USD) (£103) in donations so far.
“There’s something very funny and absurd about a man who is reviewing food in the shower while his life is seemingly falling apart,” Gaz, who works in management and consultancy from Atlanta, US, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“I’m aware I’m not the first person to do this, but I don’t believe anyone has done it as well as I have.
“Showers always made me feel better and so did eating breakfast, so I combined the two.
“My ex-girlfriend would always say it was gross, so one day I was eating a sandwich in the shower and took a photo to show my friends.
“They found it hilarious and said more people need to see it, so I posted it to Twitter.”
Gaz, who is in his 30s, captioned the post: “Shower food review: 32oz Tomahawk ribeye – thanks to your donations, I was able to buy this huge steak.
“If I were my ex right now I’d be having some second thoughts.
“One day you people will get sick of the posts.
“But I won’t cry when it’s over, I’ll smile because it happened, 10/10.”
In the picture Gaz shows off a huge steak, which he is holding by the bone, that has a bite taken out of it.
Users flocked to the comments to share their reactions, with many left confused and others, suggesting how to make the meal even better.
One user said: “Don’t drop it, could be a mis-steak.”
Tenet added: “Put some hot sauce on that.”
“Truly a beautiful sight to behold,” added someone else.
Roxy commented: “This is amazing.”
Matheus said: “Idk how I got here.” [sic]
“Why is this on my feed,” said Jay.
“This is getting out of hand,” agreed Nathan.
Other posts include him eating a pineapple, which someone paid him $8 (USD) (£6) to eat, racking up 480,000 views and 4,500 likes.
In another, he shared a less-appetising meal of a shrimp platter, racking up 150,000 views and thousands of likes, but says that the steak was his favourite meal to date.
He said: “I got it for the absurdity of eating such a massive piece of meat in the shower, but it was actually incredible.
“I felt like a caveman gnawing on that bone in there.
“I found seafood to be pretty unappetising in the shower.
“You would think seafood and a wet environment would be a natural fit, but the smell is not too pleasant combined with the steam, shampoo, and soaps.
“A good shower food is one that is simple and not too filling.”
Now, he’s looking to expand his palette and is hoping to try some more unique, yet costly, foods next.
Gaz added: “I want to try more exotic foods ranging from absurdly expensive food like caviar and gold-plated steaks.
“The goal would be to collaborate with brands and chefs one day although I am not sure this bit can go on for that long.
“Other than that I would like to spread attention to food banks.
“Many people even in our developed societies experience food insecurity.
“I was able to donate $100 to the Atlanta Food Bank, and I hope to donate even more.
“I have volunteered there too and it is not that much work. You just help package food and throw away anything that has expired.
“If you have money or time to donate to a local food bank, I would ask that you consider getting involved.”
