blockquote class="Quote" rel="nandaboob06">I recently (3 minutes ago) got some flack from my husband about something I do with my ice cream.

I dish it up, pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds, and then eat it. I like semi melted ice cream. Judge me.

I also put beans on my hot dogs and burgers, and chips on my sloppy joes.

I know I'm not the only one here that does this shit. Humor me. Let me know I'm not alone.

I do the exact same thing with my ice cream!

+1 for ice cream soup!

I eat grilled cheese with ketchup and I make it with mayo instead of butter. My mom always made it that way so I thought that was the normal way to do it. But anytime someone saw me making a grilled cheese they would always ask me WTF I was doing. That's when I realized it was weird. I tried making it with butter before and it's just not as good.

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned French fries dipped in frosties.

Does it count as a weird food thing if everyone does it, though?

Everyone does do this, right?

Oh my god, thanks for that craving. I won't eat the top crust on bread, but the other three sides I'm fine with. When I eat shelled peanuts I'll suck the salt off the shells first, same with sunflower seeds. When I eat mashed potatoes with something like peas or corn I stir them together. Ketchup and mayo were made for mixing together and dipping fries in. I melt american cheese on ruffles chips to make nachos. I love sandwiches that are just bread, cheese, mayo, and chips.

+1 to all of the above. Are you my interwebz twin?

I also soften my Icecream :-bd

I love segmented plates. Foods touching is a thing... :-??

My sister hates her food touching. I think my weirdest food habit is I love, love, love dipping cheesesticks in syrup. I don't know how or when it started but it's my favorite.

spiltmilkz · August 2014

I eat breakfast sausage dipped in syrup and my chocolate ice cream has to be eaten with lays potato chips.

My husband just introduced me to vanilla ice cream on white bread. It was disturbingly amazing.

abigailwaslike · August 2014

I love mixing baked beans and macaroni together! Most delicious thing ever!

I worked at Wendy's for 3 yrs in high school. I'm pretty sure I invented it.

craftylady29 · August 2014

Chips on sloppy joes, ice cream soup with powdered chocolate milk mix, frozen corn and peas out of the bag, dry waffles and pancakes with jam not syrup, and dip many things in ranch dressing. Mmmmm...

SpartanChick88 · August 2014

I eat Kit Kat bars in layers. First, all the chocolate, then the wafers one at a time.

I also love pickles and cheese. Wedge bread & butter pickles between squares of Colby Jack... heaven!

girlyjo · August 2014

I'm another who hates touching food. I like eating the smallest pieces first and leaving the biggest or most flavorful pieces last. This of course is a terrible habit since my husband, like normal people, eats the biggest yummiest ones first - such as doritos or fruit chunks. Especially with chips, I always take a handful and sort them. I don't really know why, but I know it's odd. However, apparently putting butter on toasted poptarts is weird but I can't eat them any other way. I never knew this was weird until I went to college... EVERYONE was in an uproar in the caf about my buttered poptarts... It was scary.

MrsC0617 · August 2014

I used dunk my Oreos in orange juice. I also put strawberry jelly and cream cheese on my bagel together. Prob a ton of other oddities but that's all I can think of at the moment.

When I eat ice cream, I like to put chocolate syrup on it then stir until it melts before I eat it. When I was a kid, I called it ice cream soup.

I also think pineapple, BBQ sauce and cheese can go on anything.

My son does this!!

FJM85 · August 2014

+1 for icecream soup!

I love eating chocolate in layers. For example Twix I would eat the biscuit layer, then the caramel layer. Or a sweetie pie (marshmallow on a biscuit base covered wit chocolate), I eat the biscuit, then eat the marshmallow fluff with my finger....MH thinks I am extremely weird this way.

aztecash · August 2014

I'm another food shouldn't touch person. I also take a bite of each food item on my plate, then I eat all the veggies followed by all the starch and then the protein. My hot food needs to be just shy of burning my tongue, and my cold food needs to be as cold as possible.

My crazy really come through when I eat M&M's (or other colored candies) though. I must eat each color separately, and ideally I will eat the most plentiful color down to the least plentiful.

For such a disorganized person I really like order in my food.

I like to dip fresh plain bagels and crunchy granola bars in water before I eat them. Ya, borderline disordered, but I'm weird like that.

pudgybunny · August 2014

Ranch on anything is gross.

Mayo for dipping French fries is the best!

Ice cream must not be melting, though as a kid I did the Chocolate syrup soup as well and loved it!

I can't eat corn on the cob, on the cob lol. I have to cut it off and eat it with my fork. I can't stand when it gets stuck in my teeth !
I also love ketchup and mayo combo way too much.

Ha @NenaB54‌ I am just the opposite! I hate corn once it's off the cob! But I DO love ketchup/mayo combo! It's really good for corn dogs and crinkle cut French fries.

I also didn't know butter on poptarts was weird until college. They are also good with cream cheese.

kelleyE3812 · August 2014

I only eat soft french fries. I sqeeze the middle to make sure there soft. It works out bc my DH eats the crunchy ones.
I also take apart nutter butters and eat them one layer at a time.

Is ranch on taco salad weird? What about green beans in taco soup?

Please advise.

ranch on taco salad is fine. Green beans in taco soup? Eww. Not my thing.

I pepper the hell out of ketchup before dipping anything in it. I only know two other people who do this -- my sister and a student. He and I agreed the rest of the world is missing out.

I salt my ketchup, is that close? It just doesn't stick to things!

nandaboob06 · August 2014

Can we arrange a ttgp pot luck? Pretty sure I would be in heaven.

DaikokuJess · August 2014

I also suck the pimiento out of olives before eating them. It's the only way.

I eat apples from the top down. People always comment about how weird it is. Supposedly "normal" people eat them starting around the middle.

Anyone else out there eat a single kernel of popcorn at a time?

Yes on the one-at-a-time popcorn. And I just use two fingers, I hate getting my whole hand greasy. Similarly, I generally pour chips into a bowl, so I don't have to worry about hitting the inside of the bag with the back of my hand.

raelynn71109 · August 2014

I put syrup on my scrambled eggs.

Dip my hamburger in ketchup (even if it already has ketchup on it).

@girlyjo‌ and @SwivelChair5‌ I like to put butter on my poptarts too! But only the unfrosted strawberry ones. And then I'll sprinkle sugar on top. Yum!

I will not eat ketchup or mayo or olives *shudders*

divinemsbee · August 2014

Mayo is disgusting by itself or on sandwiches or in anything where I can taste the mayo. I use it maybe once or twice a year in things (potato salad, chicken salad) but even then I cut the amount drastically and sub something else. I cannot smell it, taste it, or touch it, it makes me gag. The whole 'let's put flavored mayo on sandwiches everywhere' trend is awful.

I looooove mustard. The hotter the better.

I use ketchup pretty much only on fries or fried food, but it cannot be left on the plate when I'm done. Dried on ketchup smells so gross.

I love olives. My sister does too. She used to put some in a cup and eat them in the shower. Until I was in my teens I used to eat lemons like apples. I was forced to stop because the acid was eating away my tooth enamel.

Oh, and no raw tomatoes. I can just about do salsa (not chunky) and tomato sauce, but no raw ones. I try one every so often to see if I've grown into the taste, and I try the really good ones, but no cigar. I've disliked them since I was a child.

ETA: Thought of this while heating up some egg rolls for lunch. I love sweet and sour pork, but I hate sweet and sour sauce. I get the pork and then dip in into hot mustard. Like popcorn pork. It is delicious.

I hate the Sedin sisters, but that's a great gif!

moonlitwish · August 2014

Foods should not touch but I have a clean the plate complex so most of the time I will eat that part first then proceed with eating my least favorite to most favorite foods. I rarely drink anything when eating-it's for before and after the food! I eat barbecue sauce on things that usually take ketchup-fries, burgers, onion rings (which I pull the onion out of). I also use it as salad dressing on occasion or I eat salads dry. Dry lettuce is delicious except iceberg. I hate ranch and now I'm going to Wendy's for dinner just so I can dip my fries in my frosty!

mallory4284 · August 2014

I was agreeing on so many of these!!

Totally eat Kit Kat bars in layers (chocolate first off the side and top if possible and then each wafer individually) I actually do the same with every layered candy bar

I also eat M&Ms and Skittles by least favorite to favorite color, but first I have to even it out so that there is the same number of each color (and as I'm evening out, I still eat the colors in a certain order)

And I eat my least favorite food item first and leave my favorite for last.

I used to eat ketchup sandwiches all the time as a child.... Still do sometimes.

My family gives me crap all the time for how I eat. Glad to know I'm not alone! Lol

Like some PPs I eat sandwiches/cookies from the outside in. I eat cupcakes from the bottom up since I love frosting. I also eat pizza crust first.

MH eats butter and peanut butter sandwiches. I think it's super gross.

I used to do that with my cuocakes but then i learned The best way to eat a cupcake so you get frosting with every bite: tear off the bottom and put it on the top like a cupcake sandwhich!

frig05 · August 2014

I put BBQ sauce on my Mac and cheese. I like to dip my french fries in Wendy's Frosty.

Edit: autocorrect issues.

mechedes · August 2014

I put jalapeño juice on my buttered popcorn!! Mostly everyone I know thinks it's disgusting.. So I guess that's good for me because I don't have to share.. Lol.

My husband does that with ketchup and ranch. He won't dip his fries on either unless it's completely peppered. Weird. Lol

I do this all the time - especially at the movie theatre. Yum!

Yay!! Finally someone who understands! I practically beg people to try it.. Cause, well, I think they're missing out.. Haha. They can't get past the "sogyness" is what I've been told.

catwine · August 2014

I crunch chips by placing them on my tongue and then crushing them against the roof of my mouth. I also never let my lips touch the fork or spoon.

We used to put dill pickle juice on our chili picante corn nuts when I was in middle school.... Don't know why popcorn made me think of this
