Dipping grilled cheese in syrup, buttering pop-tarts, or devouring strawberries with stems still attached to them may sound utterly asinine, but for some people, it’s a perfectly fine mode of consuming food.

You see, no one is immune to bizarre eating quirks, but most of us are totally unaware that we have them. So when Twitter user @kyry5 asked people “What's a strange food habit you didn't realize was bizarre until way later than you should have?” the thread blew up with 11.7K likes, and the answers, each more baffling than the previous one, came flooding in.

So let's see some of the most entertaining and stomach-turning revelations about food shared in the thread. Do you have a quirky eating habit to share? Hit us in the comment section below!

    Does anyone else eat the muffin/cupcake and then chew on the wrapper cause it still has some on it? Just me?

    This is known as a cheese taco. If you do it right, you can add toppings and roll it up before it hardens. Requires practice with your microwave, as it changes depending on wattage, type of cheese etc.

    In India (and probably other places too) it's quite common to put salt on various fruits and in fruit juice.

    Ehhh, "supposed" is all about custom. There's nothing wrong with a few strawberry stems. I know people who eat the skin of kiwi fruit. Not my thing but people can do what they want; it's not dangerous.

    Salted lemons are good, and I've been known to eat the peel occasionally. My grandmother used to eat whole lemons while telling me to never, ever do it because it's terrible for your teeth. But sometimes I succumb.

    There is such a thing as worm salt - salt, ground dried worms and ground dried chilis and you put it on orange slices. It's a Mexican delicacy.
