WATCHING JAWS BURNS CALORIES

Wanna pretzel? Well now you can have one and not worry about piling on the pounds, as it turns out you can watch Jaws and lose weight.

Whaaat? Watching Jaws burns 161 calories, which is more than a 30 minute walk. That's according to a study by the University of Westminster and reported by The Guardian.

Watching The Shining can burn up to 184 calories.

Only The Shining burnt more, 184 calories, with The Exorcist burning 158 calories (in hell, presumably).

That's right, Jaws is quite literally an exercise in terror. At least now there is no need for that potentially treacherous midnight swim.

Alien, which was pitched as Jaws in space, came in next with 152 calories (in space no one can hear you sweat?) and Saw - which stars The Daily Jaws follower Cary Elwes - wasn't playing games, burning 133 calories.
