The Most Essential Item For Daily Life Is? [LIST]

Here's a hint: it's not a shower. Our priorities may be a little messed up.

How long could you go without taking a shower? I think I've gone about six days and that was before I worked in radio. It's easy to skip a shower or two when you know that no one's going to see or smell you. My husband might not always approve but hey, at least we have a fast internet connection.

A new survey asked people to name the most essential items for day-to-day life.  They didn't include stuff like "food" or "shelter," but everything else was fair game.

Coming in at number one - internet; beating out showers. Here are the top answers:

1. The Internet.
2. Showers and baths.
3. TV.
4. Laptops and iPads.
5. A car.
6. A cell phone.
7. A pet dog or cat.
8. A washing machine.
9. Coffee.
10. Books or Kindles.
11. A comfortable couch or chair.
12. Make-up.
13. Newspapers and magazines.
14. Chocolate.

Now go take a shower.
