Eight months into a global pandemic, everyone is finding themselves with new habits. A new survey from CVS Pharmacy and The Harris Poll has dug deep and found a not-so-surprising fact: Americans are snacking more at home!

The online survey conducted in July 2020 has found that 66 percent of American adults report an increase in at-home snacking, with 50 percent choosing “better-for-you snacks” more often than they did before the pandemic. So what else did the survey find?
