A guilty pleasure is something, such as an activity or a piece of media, that one enjoys despite understanding that it is not generally held in high regard or is seen as unusual. For example, a person may secretly enjoy a film while acknowledging that is poorly made or generally regarded unfavorably.
The term can also be used to refer to a taste for foods that are considered to be advisable to avoid, especially for health reasons.[1] [2] For example, coffee, alcoholic beverages, smoking and eating a little piece of chocolate after dinner are considered by many to be guilty pleasures.[3]
