True Confessions

Here I thought the less than stylish hat and glasses combo would be the most disturbing aspect of the image in the previous post. It seems I caused greater consternation/revulsion with my bowl of Reese's Puffs, which several of you said looked like dog kibble. Admittedly, it may not look too tasty but it is peanut butter and chocolate flavors in one bowl. It's hard to go wrong with that combo in my mind.

That said I will admit to another awful preference which you may find even worse. I got the Reese's Puffs because my first choice was not available. What I was really hungry for was a giant bowl of Count Chocula mixed with Frankenberry sitting in the milk until it was a soggy mess. I'll pause while you consider that.

On the rare occasion I indulge in Oreos I like to dip them in milk and hold them there until they are almost soggy enough to disintegrate. When I was a kid I used to like too pen them, scrape out the icing, ball it up, and save it to eat until after I had eaten the cookies.

That was also the age at which I used to stockpile chewing gum...after I had chewed it. Listen, my mom was unbelievably stingy with gum. I was allowed half a stick of trident at a time. What is that, maybe three molecules of gum? HALF A STICK, PEOPLE! How was I going to work up a decent bubble with that paltry bit of gum? I was forced to horde my ABC gum. No, I didn't keep it on my bedpost. I am not going to publicly admit where exactly I stored it.

Now it's your turn. I want to hear what strange flavor combinations you enjoy. Don't make up something revolting just for this. I want actual weird things you eat for pleasure or weird food habits you engage in that cause other people to question your sanity. You need more examples? Ok, my stepfather likes ketchup on ham and I once knew a person who liked tuna mixed with maraschino cherry juice.

Now fess up, what weird things do you like?
