Eating Things Not Meant for Human Consumption

    I think that some humans have a natural urge to eat things they know they shouldn't.

    For example, you know those little packets you find in some containers designed to keep the contents fresh that say 'Do Not Eat'? To me it is like an example of reverse psychology that wants me to eat the packet more (I haven't been brave enough to consume one yet).

    Also, my sister bought an item online and I ate one of the packing peanuts. The taste left something to be desired, but it had a very pleasant consistency. My sister than ate a whole bowl of packing peanuts, with ketchup.

    Do you ever eat or have the urge to eat something you know you shouldn't?

    oh well pens caps....who doesn't :p

    I don't think I ever was like that even as a small child - as far as inedible things. I was always more prone to bite something. I mean who here hasn't even bitten a superball in half??

    be honest :rolleyes:
