Well, it does save on laundry soap

Survey airs some dirty laundry: Norwegians with high levels of education apparently don't change their underpants as often as those with less education.

I suppose this one should be filed under "WAY too much information"....

The survey, conducted by AC Nielsen for Norwegian underwear maker Dovre, questioned 1,000 Norwegians between the ages of 20 and 60.

The results of the survey are enough to make its readers wrinkle their noses.

Seven percent of those questioned said they only change their underpants once a week, sometimes even less often.

Four percent, on the other hand, said they change their underpants twice a day.

Middle-aged respondents, aged 41 to 50, were the least likely to change regularly. Those aged 18 to 30 were most likely, with 73 percent in that age group changing their underwear daily.

Eva Finseth of Dovre told newspaper Bergens Tidende that single persons also appeared to change their underwear more often than those who were part of a couple.

Overall, the survey also showed that 11 percent of Norwegians change their underwear two to three times a week. Another 18 percent change four to six times a week, while 58 percent change daily.

I suppose the next time you find yourself on a bus in downtown Oslo, you might want to roll down the window.

Eww...that makes me want to go change my underwear....
