Crunch unidentified object in drink (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crunch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unidentified object in drink' is the wordplay.
'unidentified object' becomes 'it' (pronoun for an inanimate object. I am not sure about the 'unidentified' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (to sup is to drink).
'it' going within 'sup' is 'SIT-UP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sit-up that I've seen before include "Exercise done on the floor" , "Physical exercise" , "Exercise designed to strengthen stomach muscles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
