Stuffing your face with noisy food. Not pleasant.
"Chew with your mouth closed." Everybody's been slapped with that phrase and not only because of the mess in our pie holes. We don't want to hear it. The following list of obnoxiously loud foods won't be silenced with just closed-mouth chewing. You need a muzzle to quiet these bad boys:

9. Grape Nuts

The only thing this cereal produces in greater quantity than bland taste is an annoying crunch. Plus, you need to chew on any mouthful for at least half a minute to reduce those tiny nuggets into a paste that can be swallowed without scarring the inside of you esophagus. So it's prolonged noise pollution. They don't call it roughage for nothing.

8. Apples, carrots and celery

These fruit and veggies are good for your health but bad for fans of peace and quiet. Carrots are particularly noisy, even if you munch on the bite sized minis--the crunch easily breaks the sound barrier created by your cheeks.

A mouthful of these and you'll be sleeping alone tonight.
3. Corn Nuts

Is it corn? Are they nuts? Who knows? But if you're looking to score with that lady you've been eyeballing at the bar, stay away from these puppies. Seriously, if you have a mouthful full of corn nuts you won't be able to make out what she's saying. It could be, "Let's get out of here. How about my apartment?" Or, "Let's get one thing clear. You make me want to vomit!"

6. Rice Crispies
Snap, Crackle and Pop. They're not as loud as you'd think once you get them in your mouth, but just add milk and listen to the symphonic concert unfold.
