LONDON -- Your bath-time snacking habits will never be language and eroticismquite the same again.

On Tuesday, a British student tweeted an image with a simple nine-word caption that's since been shared over 7000 times -- an image that could be set to change the face of bath-based snacking as we know it.

Alexandria Morton is a university student living in Manchester, UK.

Yep: that's a tray of Cadbury's Milk Chocolate Fingers floating perfectly in a bath -- the ideal snack, right?

Well, some people did have questions.

Admittedly we've yet to test this particular hack, but the chances are it would only work for a limited time in a hot bath -- fast eating or lukewarm water would be required to avoid widespread, chocolate-based stickiness.

Still, it's surely worth a go, right?

Questions aside, the idea has gone down a storm on Twitter.

The pathway to happiness is clear, folks, and all it requires is one bath and one tray of chocolate fingers.

Mashablehas reached out to Morton on Twitter.

UPDATE: Dec. 21, 2016, 3:26 p.m. GMT Morton got in touch with Mashableto explain how the whole thing came about.

"Well it wasn't very convenient to keep having to reach to grab a chocolate so I had an epiphany after remembering a picture ages ago from the internet of some takeaway food floating in the bath, so got my inspiration from there," she said.

When we asked about the melting risk, Morton said it depends on how hot you want your bath.

"But let's be serious, having a bit of melted chocolate is a bonus as you can use it as a condiment for your other chocolate fingers," she added.

Morton said she was really shocked when her tweet went viral.

"I appreciated how people were praising my idea so it wasn't going to waste," she said. "However, some people started sending me abuse and I was sat at home scrolling through them thinking 'mate, are you really so offended by some chocolate fingers floating in my bath?'"
