Today marks the start of Lent.
It’s the time between Ash Wednesday and Easter where many Christians give something up as remembrance for the time Jesus was said to have spent fasting.
A website called OpenBible looked at social media to determine what are the most popular things people are giving up.
While the data for 2016 isn’t yet complete, the initial findings are that chocolate, alcohol, and social media make up the top five things people are giving up.
School, meat, sweets, coffee, and soda complete the top ten.
Here is the full list:
- Chocolate
- Social networking
- Alcohol
- School
- Meat
- Sweets
- Coffee
- Soda
