Thanks To Twitter People Are Sharing Their Strange Food Habits That Will Make You Feel Normal

If you've ever traveled or moved long-distance, then there's a high probability you've realized there are cultural and regional food choices that literally don't exist elsewhere. Sometimes, unique food choices that are regional are not that weird. For example, in the southwestern United States, especially in the state of New Mexico, it is perfectly normal to put green chile on literally everything. Even international restaurants have regional specials with green chile on them that you can't find elsewhere. That's not very weird, but realizing that there are unique food choices out there made one Twitter user do the unthinkable: ask Twitter a question. As Dr. Sue Johnson, a couples therapy pioneer, notes, “Food habits can be deeply rooted in our upbringing and cultural context, often leading to surprising revelations about what we consider normal.”

“What's a strange food habit you didn’t realize was bizarre until way later than you should have?” he asked, before offering his own: “My dad raised me to butter my Pop-Tarts, and I had no idea that was ASININE (“extremely foolish or stupid”) until someone saw me do it in college.”

The answers have left us shaken. It's one thing to butter your Pop-Tart, but there are potential psychopaths eating frozen Eggo waffles... still frozen and fish sticks... with peanut butter. As Gretchen Rubin, a happiness researcher, states, “Our food choices can often reflect deeper psychological patterns.” The following responses are either going to make you laugh or barf, possibly both at the same time. You've been warned.

A little sweet, a little salty.

Sweet and salty can pair well together, but I am definitely not sold on this one.

Twitter

Lick it and stick it.

I mean, who doesn't appreciate a little extra salt? Not enough to lick chips, but... I guess.

Twitter

Disgusting.

I'm calling the police.

Twitter

A... classic?

You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.

Twitter

Crunchy

I've heard of people eating uncooked ramen noodles before, but not like this.

Twitter

WHY

Does it take too long to toast? Are you a monster? We need to know.

Twitter

You've taken something beautiful and ruined it.

Again, sweet and salty can pair well, but this is a travesty.

Twitter

Salad is sometimes used very loosely.

But I can confirm that salads just like this are served in Nebraska all the time.

Twitter

Swell.

I guess as far as this list is concerned, a buttered saltine cracker isn't the grossest thing ever.

Twitter

I'm not sure this is abnormal anymore.

I'm willing to bet most of us know someone who does this.

Twitter

A true monster.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Twitter

This is not the way it's supposed to be.

You've done a disservice to both brownies and milk.

Twitter

This is an expensive habit.

Why would you do this?

Twitter

Nothing wrong with a little crunch.

...But jelly and chips is weird as heck.

Twitter

Creamy.

I have literally never, ever heard of someone doing this. You should not be allowed in public.

Twitter

Buttered Up

What is it with you people and butter?

Twitter

Cereal Serial Killer

What other evil things have you done?

Twitter

This is too weird.

Just take the damn stem off, you freaks.

Twitter

Would you like some fat with your fat?

This is not healthy, mentally or physically.

Twitter

Tipsy

Sometimes you just have to spice things up, I guess!

Twitter

If only there was some solution to this.

Like, I don't know... sliced cheese?

Twitter

Oh no.

How did your family not intervene for seven years?

Twitter

Dunkers

WHY?

Twitter

You're a monster.

I'm not even sure this is safe.

Twitter

Saltine Soup

Why eat soup when you could eat mush?

Twitter

Sweet and Cheesy

This one sounds a little weird, but sweet stuff goes really well with cottage cheese. Some people mix in peaches or pineapple; others mix in honey! Try it sometime.

Twitter

Low on the offender list.

There is nothing wrong with seasoning your avocado a little bit.

Twitter

Is this witchcraft?

I'm deeply concerned.

Twitter

Crispy Cheese

This is not okay.

Twitter

This is most unusual.

It's probably weirdly healthy, though.

Twitter

What the WHAT

Go home; you might be drunk.
