A Quick Guidebook to Forbidden Snacks

Secrets Revealed

Hello hello hello! You're probably wondering what this is. So this is a random little thing I impulsively decided to do, I don't know why, but I hope it will help you guys!

So the term ''forbidden snack'' refers to a non-edible item or substance that resembles something you might wish you could eat or drink just based on looking at it. 

For example, you may see colorful rocks and want to eat them. I've put together this list of common different textures of forbidden snacks and what foods and drinks you can look for to satisfy each kind of craving!

Please don't judge any of the common forbidden snack cravings listed, we cannot control the way our brains work. This may also introduce you to new snacks you haven't heard of! VERY few of these will be healthy, by the way, but they will all be vegetarian.

''Waxy'' textures (Candles, Bar soap, Lipstick, Crayons, etc.) Candy corn, mellowcreme candies of any kind, white chocolate

''Moldable'' Textures (Rubber, Clay, Putty, etc.) Edible play-dough (recipes are easy to find online), eggless cookie dough (preferably with the flour baked by itself in the oven first to avoid potentially harmful germs), soft-serve ice cream (you can make it at home by aggressively stirring regular ice cream), any licorice or Twizzler sort of candy, SweetTarts ropes, fondant (in small amounts), bubble gum/chewing gum, Oreo cream, gummies
