In fact, some of the things that make you drool could clog your digestive system so bad, you'd be inhaling laxatives like air. To educate you about the potential dangers, Bored Panda has put together a list of "forbidden snacks" and the interesting pictures will definitely open your eyes. Is that a chocolate bar or a slab of clay? A melted cat or a food picture? Scroll down and tell me!

As fun as this sounds, there's actually an eating disorder which makes the sufferer feel a compulsion to eat non-food items. Pica. It's rare and often occurs with other mental health disorders associated with impaired functioning (e.g., intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia).
Common cravings in people with pica include the urge to eat soil, coal, rust, chalk and paper, although people have been known to ingest a much broader spectrum of materials.
Saw This Rock And Thought It Was A Cheesecake
Now let's make a red velvet vanilla caramel cheesecake that looks like that rock.
If anyone ever finds a cheesecake that looks like that, please post the recipe here.
Yep, I need this rock now...but just to cuddle and love. Oh, and build a shelf just for you.
It's like a double illusion because beneath it looks like a body of water, meaning it would be very large in size, but in the blurred background we can see every day small things like leaves and branches. Then there's the cake illusion on top of all that! I stared at this picture for ages
Iron-deficiency anemia and malnutrition are the most common causes of pica. In these individuals, pica usually is a sign that the body is trying to correct a significant nutrient deficiency. Treating this deficiency with medication or vitamins often resolves the problems. According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), the first-line treatment for pica involves testing for mineral or nutrient deficiencies and correcting those. "In many cases, concerning eating behaviors disappear as deficiencies are corrected. If the behaviors aren’t caused by malnutrition or don’t stop after nutritional treatment, a variety of behavioral interventions are available."

"Pica usually appears in people of a low mental age," Gregory O'Brien, professor of developmental psychiatry at Northumberland University, told the Guardian. "So it affects young kids and people with severe learning difficulties." Professor O'Brien said 1%-2% of people with learning disabilities suffer from extreme pica. "It's really not very common but when it occurs, it can be bad."

This Broken Rock That Looks A Little Bit Like An Avocado
I think this could have been caused by a hard old rock being tumbled into the sea. There it was rounded by water currents. Then silt from the sea bed coated it. Receding tides beached the rock and the silt solidified into a stronger rock like form and eventually that.

She laughed "I did that too first time I took one!! Boy that's a lesson you never unlearn."

Load More Replies...I srsly once saw, in a very public place, Orville Reddenbacher marketers handing out free samples of their new white cheddar cheese flavored popcorn. On their sample trays were also what were made to look like little cubes of white cheddar cheese. So I pick a cube up and bite in, only to hear the tall, beautiful marketer lady gasp: 'That's fake cheese!' - Forbidden cheese turns out to taste a lot like candle wax, and make your face red.
