How To Eat at Your Desk

Perhaps you've heard that it's not exactly the most hygienic thing in the world to eat at your desk. CNN tells us that our desks are hundreds of times dirtier than our toilets, and that's based on real science (that just happens to be sponsored by Clorox). But even if retiring to the john to dine is more sanitary, it's harder to multitask while you're there. (Ew, gross.)

So, if you're going to continue to work through lunch (like 70% of your colleagues, according to WebMD), there are some things to keep in mind:

Disinfect your desk regularly. (With Clorox!)

Don't eat any of these foods (like jelly or rice) over your keyboard.

Don't spill your Diet Dr. Pepper on your laptop. (If you do, do this quickly.)
