ABNORMAL EATING HABITS

(Aug, 2023) Reddit asked people about their eating habits, specifically about the mechanics of eating, and if anyone eats food “completely different than it’s normally eaten.” Some of the responses:
– “I eat popcorn by darting my tongue at each piece, the way a frog eats flies.”
– “I eat popcorn with chopsticks. I’ve done it for years, i don’t remember why I started. But when it’s movie night I grab chopsticks.”
– “I scrape all the cheese/toppings off the pizza and eat the slice first. Do this with several slices then eat all the cheese/toppings at the end.”
– “I eat pizza starting from the crust, then work my way in toward the point.”
– “I eat sandwiches in a circular way, like I spiral it. After 8 years together my wife finally noticed last week.”
– “I like to flip muffins upside down, remove the wrapper, and eat them from the bottom up.”
– “Dry cereal. Love the taste of just the cereal & I dislike milk. Don’t like it when crispy foods get soggy, so I just eat dry cereal w/ a spoon & wash down with my coffee.”
– “Pasta like penne, fusili, and farafelle will get eaten with a spoon. Rice with a spoon. Cheesecake with a spoon. I like big bites.”
– “I cut the corn off the cob with a knife. It all gets stuck in my teeth otherwise.”
– “I open my bananas by snapping them in half.”
– “Not in public, but when I’m home I eat the crust off my mozzarella sticks first, and then pop the whole blob of melted mozzarella into my mouth.”
– “KitKats – I start by biting off the chocolate on all 4 sides, then I go layer by layer and peel the top to the bottom off! It’s just satisfying to do it that way. It calms me.”
– “I put my spaghetti on buttered bread and eat it like a sandwich.”
– “I crush my Doritos up in the bag then pour directly in my mouth.”
– “Water. I don’t like it cold or hot, I’ll have it lukewarm from the hot tap or heated slightly in the microwave.”
