Britain's 30 favorite treats have been unveiled – with unusual choices

According to research, the typical British feels the need to heal themselves up to three times a week due to the stress, stresses and achievements of modern life.

Sadness, finishing a big project at work and getting stuck in traffic is one of the main reasons that pushed the British to pick a pick-me-up.

A detailed study of the reasoning behind a spontaneous treat, such as savoring healthy cherries or less healthy chocolate, revealed that a fifth did so because they "worked very hard".

12% opt for a meal or a glbad of wine after a spring cleanup and 18% feel they deserve some indulgence when the sun is shining.

Other reasons for a "treat" include staying on a budget for an extended period, dieting for more than a week, and pbading a test or exam.

It has also appeared that some justify a small expense after a good action, when it is raining outside or just when they are tired.

Matt Hanbad, spokesperson for Love Fresh Cherries, who has asked 2,000 adults to vote to celebrate the start of the cherry season in Britain, said: "Interestingly, the reasons for wanting a treat vary.

"Adults may need a boost if they have had a bad day of work, get bogged down in traffic or feel sad.

"But on the other hand, a treat can be rewarded when everything is fine, like finishing a big mission at work or doing something nice for someone else.

"The good news is that cherries are a healthy treat that does not break the bank and can be enjoyed on a daily basis."

As for the kinds of treats that the British prefer, ice creams, takeaways or meals are popular.

However, we do not always look for "naughty" treats, as cherries, a healthy meal and a revitalizing day are also considered "special".

A chic cafe, a new book and a day off to do nothing at all were also on the list.

The researchers found that nearly three-quarters of the population felt that being treated from time to time was "important" for their overall well-being.

Most have a reminder between two and three times a week, although 15% have answered at least five times a week.

Another one in ten said they never afford anything special, according to the OnePoll study.

It also appeared that more than half of the women would like to be treated more regularly, but 50% felt bad at least once when they did.

The majority of women prefer regular things and inexpensive, with 73% of them preferring to buy cherries or chocolate as a treat, rather than a car or vacation.

This compared to half the men who would not let the money stop them from buying something expensive. One in 50 has even announced the purchase of a new car.

A quarter of adults surveyed agreed that when they treated themselves with food, they preferred healthy foods such as peaches, cherries and apples, and one in ten looked for something healthy but still tasty.

Comfortably, 58% of adults said they would treat friends or family simply because they are great, or to show them how much they care about their fate.
