non edible things you ate as a child (1 Viewer)

[ann post]

it has come to my knowledge that i ate at different times during toddlerhood firelighters, peices of a chandelier, matchbox car wheels and enough gravel to cover the driveway.

so what did you's or your kids put away in the experimental stages of eating??

Sugar. I know sugar is edible but I thought I'd mention it anyway. I used to pour the bag straight into my mouth. Shitloads.

Also, I used to eat snot. What child doesn't? All part of the growing up process.

Hmm, quite a few things that are in theory 'not edible' but I think I proved otherwise.

- Muffin papery wrappers..you know the ones they bake in. I'd eat the muffin and then the papery bit. Yum.
- Fruit scented marker nibs. Was disappointed each time that the nib didn't taste as good as it smelled.
- Prit sticks
- Phone cords
- cat food
- Butter by the handful on its own

Little kids love butter
Isabelle went through a sand and soil eating phase. She arrived in the back door one day with an empty flowerpot in her hand and her face covered in muck

I ate stones to impress Maeve Doyle next door, and my cousin used to eat woodlice

A girl I knew used to gnaw at a baseball and eat the leathery plasticy bit on the outside. I thought she was mad as baseballs didn't taste half as good as phone cords or muffin wrappers.

I ate a button and two pennies once when I was three, for the laugh. I clearly remember it.
I also ate chewing gum off the road!!!! How I survived to adulthood, I do not know.

My sister Steph ate coal and drank a bottle of Calpol, Laura ate weedkiller. As usually, I was the boring one They both survived, thankfully. Steph used to put vaseline/sudocrem in her hair too. My poor mother!

nosewax..eeeww!!ninjaaaa at least it was mine haha!

I ate beeswax sheets (intended for use in our beehive) and Schumak (not sure about the spelling) blossoms. Can't really remember eating anything else that was likely to be unhealthy.

- Prit sticks

apparently kids who are addicted to the sugars in gluten are prone to eating glue and even pulling up the carpet to eat the glue underneath it. Fookin junkies

a girl in my junior-senior infants, emma smelly, used to eat her own snots as they flowed down her face and she used to suck on clothes labels. I was joking to her last year and said haha do you remember when you used to eat your snots by the bucketfull? she said no, naturally, and shot me an evil look, and pulled out a mouldy label and started eating it.

My brother used to like ice cream wrappers that were on the groung and drink melted icepops he found. He would also lick mars bar wrappers he found.

I guy i work with used to eat tar from the road and chase garbage trucks down the street.

I once ate mud. It didn't taste of much.
I recall people picking up chewing off the ground and chewing it. In Junior Infants I used to wipe my snots on my jumper sleeve.
