Those little styrofoam eights. The world would never go hungry again.
Shakira’s underwear. ( esp if she’s still wearing them)
Wasn’t it Dave Barry who said that preschoolers don’t use it any more but you should pick up a pound anyway b/c it’s delisious?
Heck a lot of kids have eaten paste
It’s salty.
I want cheap plastic jewelery. Watermelon green bangles and oversized cherry red rings. Lemon yellow hair ties with bubbles in them. That stuff always looked more like candy than accessories.
I ate chalk once on accident. I was writing on a chalkboard and eating pretzel sticks. I got caught up in a problem and forgot which hand had which. It’s not tasty.
Me too! Especially if it’s red and faceted. Huge red plastic gems with many facets. Nom nom nom.
Oblatenare perfect for you then =)
Or if you are really hardcore - oblaten papers for baking liebkuchen
The problem with most of these is that none of them actually taste good. But, if they did, I’ve always found facial creams appealing.
Have at it. It’s intentionally non-toxic.
Quilts and down comforters.
The dreams of orphans.
Dopers.
Um…did I say that out loud?
Bones.
Wait, you gonna finish that?
Finish what, the chicken bones?
OM NOM NOM
Energy.
“Nah, I don’t need to stop for lunch; I’ve been plugged in/standing in the wind/photosynthesizing all morning.”
Even better if it worked in reverse, too: “I need to lose some weight. Let me charge that cell phone.”
That’s part of the fun, imagining (1) you could eat it, and (2) it tastes like you imagine it tastes. Styrofoam peanuts are a good one; I imagine they would taste like rice cakes.
I know people who actually do eat chicken bones.
Oh! Wood stain! There are wood stains that smell alternately delicious and like death. I was working in a awkward corner once that required me to press my nose up to a freshly-stained railing to reach my wiring. Damn, but I wanted to lick it, then vomit!
I have eaten all those things and they aren’t too bad with the exception of Play-Doh. It is disgusting but a little won’t hurt you. Give it a try but have a sink nearby. I don’t have Pica but I have found lots of weird things from soap to diesel fuel in my mouth over the years for one reason or another. Dishwashing detergent is especially bad.
If I could still live by eating nothing at all for the rest of my life, I would do that.
Cocoa butter.
If chalk sounds tasty to you, try Necco wafers. I’ve always thought they taste like chalk looks.
I used to chew on aluminum foil, and would sometimes keep a spoon in my mouth like a lollipop. I would have been in heaven if those things were actually edible. Oh, and pennies, I’d love to eat pennies.
Sometimes, in the thralls of passion, I often find myself thinking: “Gee, I wish there was something more I could do with this girl to satisfy my insatiable lust.”
I wouldn’t want to eat them like a cannibal because that would be gross, But maybe absorb them, temporarily, through osmosis might be interesting.
I promise, I’m not a phyco.
