Question

Iisa · Accepted Answer

I was very drunk, this is the only excuse I have for creating the following.  I had the drunchies like no other, and not much food in the house, so I created what later came to be known as the Four Can's of the Apocalypse. I put a box of mac and cheese, a can of chili, a can of black beans, a can of ravioli, and a can of refried beans into a pot. Started cooking it up. Threw in some salsa and sour cream at the end, then crunched up a bunch of tortilla chips and mixed that in, as well.  After consuming that... well, that was one of the worst mornings of my life.

Raw potatoes. I was tripping hard on acid, spent about an hour trying to slice some potatoes to make a bake in the oven. It didn't happen like it was supposed to so a girl finished cutting them up for me. I then proceeded to grab a handful and sit down in a corner munging on them like a retarded beaver.

Boryana · Answer

Ate a Ramen Noodles pack dry because I was too lazy to boil water. Actually, if you use the seasoning packet on the noodles and crush it up and shake it around it's not all that bad.  Edit: Damn, I just saw all these replys. I had no idea this was a thing other people did. That's great. I should also add that now, I boil them but drain the water after and then add the seasoning to the cooked noodles.

I once ate some of my brown sugar body scrub while in the shower. Not because I was hungry(I was a little hungry)but because I wanted to see how brown sugary it tasted. It actually tasted of salt and it became clear to me that it was a salt scrub being marketed as a sugar scrub. Liars.

Dondu · Answer

"I grew up without a lot of money. We never had any food in the house and certainly not any snacks or anything like that. My mom would work on the weekends and my dad refused to make us anything to eat so we had to wait until she came home at 2 o'clock (he has yet to give us a reasonable explanation for why he thought this was okay.) So my sister and I would routinely eat lumps of old, moisture-ridden brown sugar and pretend it was "candy." Classy. "

DESSIE · Answer

I grew up fairly poor and during one of our poorer stretches I ate half a jar of jelly to hold me over until mom's paycheck came through. My friends didn't realize why I was eating it, and I didn't want to make it clear that we didn't have any food in the house, so they gave me the nickname of DA BINGE!!!1111!!111. Then another time in a similar situation, I took a bottle of maple syrup to school and just drank it. Unfortunately, it sort of reinforced the nickname.
