Bizarre Head Hunger

We've all had head hunger come out of nowhere, but I thought it might be amusing to share some of the more random or bizarre attacks and cravings we've had. I was reading a mystery novel in the bathtub this morning when head hunger popped up and I started craving a jam sandwich- bread, butter, and grape jelly. There was no jam sandwich in the book and I can't even remember the last time I had one. Definitely not one of my trigger foods! Like most cravings, it went away after a while, but I'm still struck by how random it was.

  • I buy Water bottles with those tiny little lids. I have to throw the lids away when I open a bottle of water because I will sometimes randomly want to swallow the stupid lid! I know it's my head mess

  • BTW, someone PM'd me about the lids. I NEVER put them in my mouth. LOL

I had the same experience not too long ago for butter and crackers. Used to eat that as a kid. Hadn't had it in years...so I tried one cracker with butter. Well..truly.. One bite was enough! Tasted better in my youth then now! And this just like you, is not a trigger food for me. Funny how your brain wants to " trick" you!

I buy Water bottles with those tiny little lids. I have to throw the lids away when I open a bottle of water because I will sometimes randomly want to swallow the stupid lid! I know it's my head messing with me, so I just eliminate the problem. I'd switch types of water bottle, but I don't like the pop-up lids or the flip lids anyway.

The weirdest food craving I've had is for pickled bologna. I loved it as a kid, then got away from it as an adult. My cousin had some in her fridge when I went to the family reunion and I probably ate 4 pieces over the three days I was there.

BTW, someone PM'd me about the lids. ;) I NEVER put them in my mouth. LOL
