Bogies

Nah, bogies must be classed as a food

[lottielady]

Apple cores, pips and all.

[eco1636]

Sweet wrappers e.g. the whole chewitt.

When pregnant last time I craved lightbulbs. I managed to resist.

This time thankfully it’s just piccalilli mixed in ice cream.

[OneStepOneStumble]

Ice cubes!

I know the noise is abhorrent but I can't resist

[MrsExpo]

I once met someone who had made themselves very ill indeed by consuming several mothballs daily. They never realised they were poisonous ..... !!

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I craved sponges when I was pregnant and ate dozens of them

[HemlockStarglimmer]

I sometimes eat the tissue that I've used to wipe my tears during a weepy movie.

[LaMarschallin]

Like lottielady I eat the whole apple (and pear) because (I'm sure unlike lottielady) I'm too idle to walk to the bin.
Recently I ate some stuff I found in the bed (settle down!) wondering why I'd spilt coriander seeds there. Turned out my warmable wheat bag had a hole.

[Clairaloulou]

@HalfBloodPrincess lightbulbs! which bit?!

[ScottyTotty2]

the lightbulb eater is well.......illuminating, I had never thought of that

[ilovemilton]

IHaveBrilloHair I was a pregnant sponge eater too!!! As if someone else did it!!

[Wuddlingheights]

Am I the only person who didn’t know people ate non-food items at all?? Shocked (and intrigued!)....

[Iamclearlyamug]

@ihavebrillohair and @ilovemilton omg me too!! didn't realise it was so common 😂😂

[BlueMerchant]

Soapy flannel
Scabs

[BeanTownNancy]

I used to eat toilet paper as a kid (unused obviously), and I also used to chew or suck on spoons for hours. Ate coal too.

Turns out I was iron deficient. Pica is sometimes trying to tell you something.

[HalfBloodPrincess]

Clairaloulou the thin glass bit. Was all I could think about for a good few months. I wanted to crunch it. I tried ice but it just wasn’t cutting it.

[IAmMeThisIsI]

The rubber top on my vape pen. I ruin them all but it's mega satisfying!

[Nolagerformethanks]

My friend eats pages out of books, goes to the charity shop for them and the browner the pages (e.g. the older the book) the tastier they are apparently 😬😷

I wonder how many beautiful, valuable antique books she's eaten?

Mind you, it gives a whole new meaning to "read and inwardly digest"...

Is that why you have Brillo hair pp?

[PearlyPinknails]

I eat chalk. Has to be crayola white. I eat sticks and sticks and sticks of it

[callmekitten]

I used to eat glue and crayons when I was a kid. Once in a while I will taste them again to see why I might have liked it about them.
