Sometimes we know a thing exists, but it takes science a little while to catch up. Like this: A new study just came out, and it's the first to prove that being HANGRY really is a thing.
For three weeks, 64 people used an app to track their emotions and how hungry they felt. And it showed that not eating really does make us mad.

It's the first study to look at how being hangry affects us in the real world. Every other study so far was done in a lab setting.
