Ten Most Popular Things People Give Up For Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday and with it begins the 40 days of Lent. If you’re a Christian, chances are you’re giving up something for Lent. What will it be?There are several website which claim to know what people tend to give up for Lent. I liked this site, christianitytoday, because it follows what people say on Twitter. These were the ten most popular things given up for Lent last year:
1. Twitter
2. chocolate
3. swearing
4. alcohol
5. soda
6. Facebook
7. fast food
8. sex
9. sweets
10. meat
I would’ve guessed sweets or junk food would’ve been the top thing people gave up. Me, I’m giving up Ben and Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. I miss it already!
