Radio host Sam Sanders asked his fellow twitter users what kind of strange delicacies they created for themselves as children. The results were, really, pretty gross. Lots of peanut butter, ketchup, kraft singles and coca powder went into these people's upbringings. And not necessarily in separate dishes either.

    Text - Sam Sanders Follow @samsanders Tell me your Weirdest eating/drinking habit you had as a kid! I'll go first: When I was like 8 years old, I used to carry a little bottle of apple cider vinegar around wherever I went, taking a swig every now and then like a lush w/his flask.

    Text - Mr. Killiver Follow @djdunclive As a kid, I was pretty fond of the taste of dry cat food. Probably still am, though I doubt I'll be putting it to the test any time soon. Post- apocalyptic survival necessities notwithstanding

    Text - Dustin Smith Follow @Dustin_Smith_83 Replying to @samsanders I would dip uncooked spaghetti into peanut butter and when they would inevitably break apart, I would try to dig most of them out. There wasn't a high degree of success with that, so more often than not l'd just leave the littler pieces in the jar

    Text - Jordyn Bonds Follow @skybondsor Replying to @samsanders I was a super picky eater as a toddler and whenever an adult would try to force me to eat something l didn't like, I'd just pretend to, store it in my cheeks, then pull it all out in my crib during nap time. I also used to suck on the orange landscape rocks in our front yard. o_O
