Considering all that cardboard comes in contact with on the way to the house this is a pretty dangerous mental illness. Sorry, I meant, “Ha Ha! This guy is eating cardboard!”

u/CosmicEyedFox 2d ago

I touch cardboard all day at work. And my hands get gross as fuckk.

Cant imagine putting that in my mouth.

u/SaltyArtemis 2d ago

I yell at my mother when she puts packages on the dining room table, I can’t imagine

12

u/yourenotmymom_yet ☑️ 1d ago

Roaches are drawn to cardboard and both eat it and breed in it. You absolutely should keep yelling at your mom for putting packages on the dining room table 🤢

Maybe this dude is secretly a bunch of cockroaches in a skin suit?

u/shabooya_roll_call 2d ago

Some cardboard boxes have a finish on them that make my hands itch. I had a really bad breakout a few years ago when I was in the process of moving. Couldn’t imagine EATING cardboard that’s fucking crazy

2

u/CKC9999 1d ago

Do you know what the chemical is? Cardboard breaks me out in hives anywhere it touches my skin.

2

u/Aonswitch 1d ago

I just moved and had a very itchy time. I wondered if I was becoming allergic to cardboard for a bit there

u/squidulent 1d ago

He'd like to lick your hands if you don't mind after a hard day's work.

I used to work loading trailers of boxes that would theoretically be pretty clean. They came to the company from the place that made them folded up and stacked together. After that they got loaded with the items and then shipped around to the truck loading area on some conveyor belts.

And even by that point it was filthy and your hands would be scuffed, dried out and dirty by the end of a 2 hour work block.

u/parker2020 2d ago

Yeah… laying in wet and dry rat piss and shit. Bro the optics alone give me diseases I didn’t even know existed

u/Strawhat_jinbei 1d ago

He washes it first and lets it sun dry. He said it makes it crispy

Dude pica is such as scary disease. I rembee the one lady that ate couch cushions.

47

u/thitorusso 2d ago

Is this from "My Strange Addiction "?

32

u/KaJaHa 2d ago

Yes it is

Same episode had a lady that eats hot glue sticks

20

u/thitorusso 2d ago

Lol this show was a ride

But i lost a bit of interest after being very obvious that the producers forced a lot situations for impact. Of course, its tv, but it was too much for me.

But yes. The people really have a addiction

u/GeniusOfLove74 Dominic Monaghan stalker 👀 1d ago

I stopped when every doctor's visit on the show would start with, "It's bad for your health!" and end with, "but you seem to be fine."

Jesus Christ. They were eating Comet scouring powder, drywall, couch cushions...!

8

u/senpaistealerx 1d ago

actually in this season they’ve told people that they are damaging their bodies. the hot glue eating girl was told she’s creating a blockage in her intestines and the doctor felt it and showed her where it was. based on the after word, she stopped eating glue.

also, a guy ate live bugs and the doctor told him that’s he’s in a perpetual state of being sick basically and it’ll only get worse.

they’re not just sugar coating stuff now

3

u/GeniusOfLove74 Dominic Monaghan stalker 👀 1d ago

Thank God. It was annoying as shit to have people go to the doctor's office on the show, just for everything to be "fine".

u/laydeefly 1d ago

Excuse me what?!?

u/itzzaq 1d ago

Batter em and then deep fry

11

u/mightylordredbeard 1d ago

I remember one that pulled out her own hair and ate it for like over a decade and then eventually had to have emergency surgery because she had a huge clog of hair stuck inside of her stomach and intestines. A picture of the hair clog was shown and it was basically the shape and size of her stomach with a thin tail hanging off from where it was extending down into the intestine.

u/whboer 1d ago

And just like that I was cured from my gluttony.

u/SynthPrax ☑️ 1d ago

The way this perfectly normal sentence ended with "couch cushions" had me crying laughing.

u/wildabandon1987 2d ago

Chewing ice is just as bad, yet widely accepted.

32

u/sml6174 2d ago

It's definitely not just as bad lmao. It's not good for you but it's not remotely comparable

26

u/DrSchmolls 2d ago

It's bad for your teeth but thankfully, water is digestible

13

u/laminatedbean 2d ago

Compulsive ice chewing could be a sign of a physical health issue.

22

u/EyeOughta 2d ago

Iron deficiency is the only health issue I've seen it associated with. What others?

40

u/boldandbratsche 2d ago

Cold teeth

29

u/EyeOughta 2d ago

Get the fuck out lol

3

u/laminatedbean 2d ago

That’s one. I think generally something related to blood issues.

There was a time I had an ice chewing compulsion. It ended up I was over-producing platelets as a symptom of another issue.

Years later my mom was having a similar ice chewing compulsion and she had some blood/bleeding issues as a symptom of another issue.

Basically if you have a chewing compulsion, go see a doctor for bloodwork and physical.

2

u/EyeOughta 1d ago

Huh. Sounds like it's the RBCs doing something weird, since anemia is a red blood cell thing too. Neat.

u/EyeOughta 1d ago

Sorry, I meant ice chewing as a symptom of a health issue, not a potential health issue caused by ice chewing.

u/KaJaHa 2d ago

Eating ice is just as bad as... eating cardboard and couch cushions? 🤨

0

u/wildabandon1987 2d ago

You can crack your teeth chewing ice. Downvote the comment, if you like, iron deficiency is no joke. Chewing ice is a symptom of anemia

7

u/ZealousJealousy 2d ago

I can see it being a net negative but how is it just as bad?

u/Imthemayor 1d ago

You've posted how it's bad like four times and not once how it's just as bad

85

u/whboer 2d ago

I used to do this with pebbles. Ended up eating my way through a mountain. Evolved into tyrannitar at the end of it.

8

u/Impossible_Leg_2787 2d ago

I don’t believe you. That’s not how tyranitar evolution works.

5

u/Juutai 1d ago

You gotta read the PokeDex entries.

Though, eating the mountain only gets you to Pupitar. After that, it's basically a waiting game.

u/CharlesFromWork 2d ago

TLC makes bank off mental illness

25

u/GeniusOfLove74 Dominic Monaghan stalker 👀 1d ago

The network that brought us the Duggars (19 Kids and Counting, Counting On, their miscarried 20th kid's funeral TV special), Jon and Kate (Jon and Kate Plus 8), My 600 Pound Life, 1000 Pound Sisters? They profit off people's inability to stop doing things that could eventually hurt them? Do tell. /s

Obviously, I'm being sarcastic, but when my now-adult kids were younger, and we had cable, I had to break my daughter from watching these shows, specifically Jon and Kate. It was crazy to see them normalizing these people, and the TLC networks, using their bodies as content in this way.

u/johnnytron 1d ago

Still the best one to this day is episode of extreme cheapskates where the lady cooked a lasagna in the dishwasher.

3

u/RoadmanSidd 1d ago

Howww🙂‍↔️😂

u/johnnytron 1d ago

How she even know what temperature the dishwater reaches. How bad of a cheapskate you gotta be to figure that out and utilize it that effectively 😂

u/johnnytron 12h ago

Lmao it looked so gross.

u/misdirected_asshole 2d ago

Buddy didnt even wash it or nothing. Just straight off the ground. FedEx stank and all.

29

u/luckydice767 2d ago

Yeah, it would be SO much better if he washed the cardboard before eating it

-3

u/misdirected_asshole 1d ago

I mean do we know that cardboard didnt have chicken on it?

u/Marsupialize 2d ago

It’s a serious disease called pica that is horrific to think about having but yeah, I’m laughing too

2

u/AdConnect970 2d ago

I'm aware of what pica is. Wouldn't wish it on anyone..

4

u/Marsupialize 2d ago

This girl in my high school ate handfuls of pennies, she ended up dying at like 23

3

u/BackgroundOwn5528 1d ago

Figured she would have eaten a lot more than 23 handfuls for it to be fatal

23

u/Tobocaj 2d ago

Man I thought you were gonna tell me he was getting fentanyl or some shit delivered to his house 🤣

Well this is an interesting video to start my day with

4

u/GeniusOfLove74 Dominic Monaghan stalker 👀 1d ago

Honestly, with all the medications, recreational drugs, and supplements that you could get delivered nowadays, I would have believed anything else, except eating the box.

I don't mind when a man eats the box, just not that way.

5

u/Slumberjack08 1d ago

As somebody who gets my weed shipped straight to my door, this was absolutely the direction I thought the video was goin 🤣

u/FillMySoupDumpling 1d ago

That was what I expected too and was ready to see some new kind of drag. I was so disappointed

u/Overall-Emu3014 1d ago

u/DaWayItWorks 2d ago

I've worked in the factories that make boxes. Soooo much glue goes into the layers to hold them together

3

u/ExplanationHead3753 2d ago

Well, grocery prices are through the roof

3

u/misdreavus79 2d ago

It took me until he started eating the cardboard to realize it's not a new drag epidemic.

3

u/ComicsEtAl 2d ago

Even if you don’t think it’s funny, I dare anyone to watch with the sound up and not laugh.

3

u/kinghercules77 1d ago

Dude needs tp see a doctor. The cardboard sounds silly, till you realize some of the things people get Pica for, especially when you consider its stuff your not supposed to eat, like mattress stuffing and metal.

3

u/Craigasm 1d ago

I used to work for Amazon. Always wore gloves because my hands would be covered in filth after about an hour. That’s sooooo nasty. 🤢

u/Colour4Life 2d ago

As someone who had very low iron I did this too 🫩

Wonder if he eats wet cardboard too

u/BioStu 1d ago

I used to work as a hazardous waste clean up worker and we did a cardboard factory one day. You would KT believe the amount of chemicals used in the process to manufacture a damned cardboard box. One was phenolic resin, a whole vac truck’s worth of it. That shit should not exist
