Commericals are designed in ways I would call "subliminal", affect on the brain to get your attention.
Like some department stores play soft music, of use special lighting, or even resort to a sweet perfume that is designed to either make the brain want to purchase something or become fixated with a commerical.
The advertising companies that makes the commerical just have to love you to death. Their money is paying off as they have your attention 100%.
I have three cats and they can be asleep or awake,, when the commericals come on the television, the wake up and watch the commercials. When the commericals are over they go back to sleep.

I guess the commercials revolt you so much that you cannot eat during them.
You have my sympathy!
You're neurons are sending a message to your brain to say "this is interesting!! I should make this moment lasting!!" and makes you eat.
Its comforting when you are watching a show and eating. Your brain is programed to this so it comes automatic.
I eat sun flower seeds when I watch a show and on commercials I just sit and watch it. So yea I guess we might not be the only ones.......SPOOKY = O
maybe the show bores you. sometimes when im bored i eat.
That is so funny! I reminds me of the stories that my parents used to tell me about when I was a toddler. They said that when I was a baby we would be in the kitchen eating dinner and they would still have the TV on in the living room. They said that when a commercial would come on I would hop down from the high chair and run into the living room and watch the commercials and then come back and eat when they were over. Maybe you did that too?
It's kinda like Brad Pitts character in Ocean's Eleven. He eats in every scene.
My wife doesn't do this....though she does like to be....oh well nevermind that ;)
I am a fat boy...not really, but I like to eat, to me, it makes me no never mind. Yes there are tons of other people that do it, I am not one of them.
You learned this habit watching the Super Bowl. You don't want to miss a single second of the commercials.
Maybe it's because most of the time the commercials are better than the programmes ;)
because you are going to the bathroom during the commercials??
