Is it odd that I think they look delicious?

If you have pica, probably not.

I was thinking that they look kinda like puffed rice snacks, but now that you mention it... I did love eating dirt as a child. And sand... It was the crunchiness—I loved feeling it crunch between my teeth.

I still enjoy eating grass. Maybe I'm not a trusted source on directions to FlavorTown.
