Chew On This: Clay

Don’t be weird about clay. Eating clay can come in many forms - raw, chunky, pills, dissolved in water. The practice, although uncommon in most developed countries, is common in parts of Africa and the Middle East due to high rates of zinc deficiency. Some people liken it to eating dirt but still, would you #chewonthis? Some things you just need to taste.

Chew On This is NSFTV’s exploration into the weird and wonderful world of delicious obscurities. Learn about unexplored food items and get acquainted with the culinary universe of the detectably bizarre.

The Fear of Oranges AKA Portokaliphobia | NSFTV's Phobias Ep. 3

C/W: ORANGES, AND A FUNNY MAN EATING THEM

Portokaliphobia is not a word you’ll find in any science journal, yet alone the common dictionary. There’s a term for the morbid fear of all citrus fruits (esperidoeidiphobia… If you were wondering), but not for the specific fear of oranges. But just because the word doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that the fear of an orange should be sidelined. Ask Charlotte, she knows best.

‘Portokaliphobia’ is a term coined by Everything Wants to Kill You (ewtky-blog.tumblr.com)
