The hungrier you get, the lower your food standards become. But not everything that looks like a tasty treat, is one. We’ve all been to that point where we were so hungry and everything around us started to look edible. If you’re part of this group, you’re not alone at all.
There’s a whole subreddit r/ForbiddenSnacks where people share images of everything they thought of as food the first moment they saw them. This whole community is obsessed with stuff that looks tasty to the eye but not to the mouth.
