what's the weirdest non-food item that you eat!

finger nails...........er

Bogies

Chalk

Bogies

Nah, bogies must be classed as a food

Apple cores, pips and all.

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.

Ice cubes!

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

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

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

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

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.

@HalfBloodPrincess lightbulbs! which bit?!

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

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

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

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

Soapy flannel
Scabs

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.
