Things You Consumed As A Child...

PearlsGirl

There was this girl in kindergarten who used to eat glue, and this one time, a kid snorted a pebble. It took the teacher a few hours to get it out. GROSS! eekkk

I ate toilet paper, newspaper, regular paper, and once, i drank fish blood (i thought my mom made me kool aid). I used to chew on pens, pencils, and crayons. My favorite though was the McDonalds ketchup packets, my parents couldn't keep those away from me.

Dirt. We had a little plant in our living room, and I would just go there and eat the dirt around it. When I came out of the hospital the second time when I was six I sat next to that plant. Then I decided that since I was sick, maybe it contributed to why I was sick. I didn't eat dirt after that.

Milkbones - I loved them. I also remember liking glue and erasers.

I remember eating some sort of mysterious plant in my grandma's garden with my cousin. It was a vegetable garden, so we thought everything growing in it was edible. It wasn't too bad.

I used to eat butter by itself. My older sister told me to do it. She was old enough to know better, too!

I ate some dry catfood once. I thought it would taste like cereal. It didn't.

I also ate a little bit of play-doh once.

Who could resist that stuff? It smelled so good!

i remember my sister and i both loving the taste of baby magic lotion??!

i'd also lick playdoh...tasty

sips of beer from my dad when i was 2.

i wasn't too weird...though my fav. breakfast was french fries and vanilla wafers!! i later developed a love for bologna sandwiches with ranch dressing and bacon bits (also works quite well w/ hot dogs)...i still eat my veggie hot dogs this way now sometimes. it's comforting.

i remember thinking that if i swallowed enough spit...still in my mouth, nothing gross...that i wouldn't be thirsty anymore. i may have also confused ear wax for a bbq chip once...can't remember.

my sister was more adventurous...she drank bleach, super-glued her mouth shut, ate cigarette butts...who knows what else?! could explain a lot now.

I still like a blade of grass now and then. What are slaters?

I ate tons of nastiness!

Lets start with what my parents made:
sardine sandwiches, cheese & ketchup sandwiches, fish eggs from the fish we caught in the pond, their little fish eyeballs, too, and chicken hearts, livers and gizzards.

My own doing:
dry cat food that I mixed with water, boogers... that's all I can think of. OH! I remember eating some lemon drops that I found in the bark outside of Safeway, not in their package. Those gave me worms. :(

and butter-flavored crisco dipped in tang :eek:

I ate a penny once cos my sister and brother told me to :rolleyes: i cried and cried and cried and thought I was going to die

we used to eat cow nuts (shuttUP dunk the food cows EAT... not a part of them) but they were quite nice. I still like the smell of the hops from the guinness factory on a clear day when you can smell them across the city... they were quite yum actually

catefrances

I never really ate anything that wasn't a food. Worst thing I did was go to restuarants and eat a good 2-3 packets of sugar per sitting, and my mother actually permitted it. lol.

Play-doh...on a regular basis...loved that high salt content.

I got a nickel lodged in my throat once.

I got caught drinking the Kaz out of a humidifier

I ate a whole bottle of children's aspirin

The best story is me eating that shiny red glass Christmas ornament.

I ate a big chunk of my grandma's coconut scented soap. She had it in a drawer in a small end table in her living room and it was wrapped in foil(?!!!). I figured that if she had hidden it like that it must be good! I remember choking it down and thinking it tasted terrible but it was candy, so finish the bite.

well im pretty tame, you know some soap here and there.

no wonder most pj fans are a little strange

Mom says that I tried to eat a Gypsy once, but I don't believe her..

Twinkies. How was I able to eat those things.

Oh.. cat food - wit the cats. But I guess lots of kids would do that.

Rose petals, they smelled good, I figured they had to taste good.

failedpersephone

I have eaten scabs before...and licked blood - but I still do that...
