Well, you don't see that everyday...more importantly you have to wonder...Is she pregnant and having cravings or is she just a few fries short of a happy meal?

Have any of you seen that show Strange Addictions? There was a woman addicted to eating Ajax Cleanser, and another to toilet paper.

What about eating boogers? That may be more disgusting than eating a couch, yet a 1/3 of our population does it.

I am pretty sure this woman has been on that show before.

They play marathons of My Strange Addiction, and after two episodes I just couldn't watch it anymore... honestly, some of that stuff is just too unreal.

These people just become consumed in really compulsive and unhealthy behavior and then after doing it for so long they can't stop themselves.

Just think of all the ass sweat that could be in those cushions!

But on a serious note, can't certain chemicals in the foam give you cancer? She's been eating the stuff for years!

She has probably eaten tens of thousands of stored farts.

I hope she checks for stains before she starts eating.

What a great clip. What I always loved was that when Jerry grabs Kramer and the water goes flying in the air, some of it actually gets in his mouth and he yells it back out at Kramer.

Great stuff.

As soon as I got the line where it says she "consumes the equivalent to about a throw pillow a week", I burst out laughing.

Awesome!

I used to eat matches when I was stressed. I guess I'm glad that didn't escalate like that poor lady.

It's definitely a weird one.
