I was addicted to coke a few years ago but now I'm coke free! Thank God I switched to Pepsi!
Hahahaha 😂🤣
Both are unhealthy. Including the snot sugar.
You do know its ment to drink not snort
Fr
@@glehappletonjr6565 I agree but Pepsi is slightly better due to a slightly less acidic level.
*This week, on my strange addiction:* watching animated TH-cam videos on weird topics.
I have one strange addictions when it comes to McDonald’s gravy or any restaurant gravy,i drink it

@@kevinvillatoroo then don't laugh

I used to be addicted to viagra......
hardest time of my life
🤣

i hope youre better now
You win. Best comment.
@@richardsiemion5903 get a load of this guy
As someone with OCD, I relate to all of these people and understand how it got there. It’s a gradual process and so hard to break once it’s there. It’s miserable
There is interesting writing by Sigmund Freud about one patient he had with severe OCD. It is known as "Rat Man". I think it is on the internet in the public domain, it is incredible how strong it can be and debilitation for some people.
I fought my ocd its gone now just gotta fight it
@@kazukixivv9252 most people don’t have OCD they have OCD trait and it’s extremely hard to diagnose. Perfectionism is more likely
Sadly the lady that was addicted to stiffing gasoline passed away a few years ago 😞 unfortunately she couldn’t overcome her addiction.
Wow that’s unfortunate
I know that it wasn’t intentional, but you gotta love the line “mostly seen in pregnant women, ‘and people with other mental disorders’” … I know it wasn’t intended to be phrased this way, but the irony. I think any woman who has ever been pregnant would also agree that it’s something along the lines of a temporary sort of mental disorder. Trust me, I speak from experience. 😂
I can def see it as temp disorder. The hormones that go crazy and then in some cases, the post partum depression, it definitely could be seen as a type
I didn’t catch that, but that’s funny. Lol
@@jerryonlychild7003 Also Pregnancy brain
😂 I caught that, too! I thought I must have heard it wrong. Guess not. 🤣
When I was a kid I used to love the smell of gasoline. I actually tasted it when I was like 4 or so. Grew out of it pretty quick though.
Don't be rama rama
Me too
Trevor Philips is that you? 🤣
@@JonayPS no sir. Wild how many replies this got though this must have been a lot of people in their younger years
I still do
THE INFOGRAPHICS SHOW makes videos on random topics so interesting. Appreciate the hard work. 👍
When I was younger, my mother knew a woman who was addicted to Pepsi. She had numerous cases stacked in her living room every single day and drank about a case a day. Sadly, she passed away because the acid in the soda ate a giant hole in her stomach and caused her intestinal lining to completely deteriorate. Very sad.😔
I’m sorry that happened
Wow!
I have the eating ice one. I didn’t know it had a name. I just enjoy it. I’ve been told in the past that it could be a sign of low iron levels but tests show mine are perfectly normal.
I do love chewing on icecubes after or during my cold drinks. But I doubt it's an addiction if you don't feel the need to do it everyday
Ice yummy 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The guy with a rock concert addiction, he could turn it into something healthier like maybe becoming a journalist that reviews music.
Although not mentioned here, I remember the girl who was addicted to celebrities. I had a little obsession with celebrities as well, except I had a healthier way of fulfilling it. I aspired to be a red carpet correspondent. Never happened but much healthier.
Food For Thought: Every addiction no matter what it is, is the result of trying to escape from something by going in the direction of a need that is currently not being met.
Of course. Or a coping mechanism against some past trauma.
Agreed
There are studies that say drug addiction is only 11% chemical addiction. Most of it is because they're lacking connections to self or others.
I wish addiction was studied with more compassion.
That is not always true in the case of some addictions.
@@kassassinprawn516 that may be so in some cases .but certainly doesn't apply to all
I love how when he mentioned pregnant women he after said “and other mental illnesses”
Me: Carrots, "and other forms of abuse"
That's not not accurate...
'and other mental disorders'
@@Exxperiment626 Pregnancy isn't a mental illness, but a physical one.
One love ❤️
P.S. If ya think I'm wrong, just think of it as a joke
I was hoping someone else caught this
I’m actually diagnosed with pica (ever since I was 8 years old). My psych thinks it’s due to my ASD and ADHD (also with my depression, BPD, anxiety and OCD dendencies). I pull out my eyelashes and eat them- a lot of the time I don’t even notice I’m doing it! But with the help of therapy and medications I’m doing it less and less! Also I guess I’m incredibly lucky my eyelashes grow much faster than the usual persons (so I’ve never had the issues of eyelid baldness).
I don't eat them... But when I'm anxious I pull my eyelashes too! My Uncle Tyler used to have the same problem except he pulled his eyebrows. I'm in therapy though and it is getting better
Would it be safer to cut them off daily? That's probably what I'd do.
I have tried pickles before a e a err fffff sorry that was just a error aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAeieieieieeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii *explosion*
Asd adhd depression bpd anxiety and ocd . I'm starting to think more and more like tom cruise on this issue every single day
Not pica but I used to bite my nails so far down they bled. I couldn't even turn a faucet on for myself because the skin would pull and bleed 💔 My mom cured me of it! God love her heart ❤️
Weirdest things people were addicted too was eating mattresses, air fresheners, dry walls, clay face masks, toilet paper, and soap detergent
Dry wall? Does that mean they eat there house
I was just getting ready to mention the bed thing. A woman couldn't stop eating the foam in her bed
Guys I mean the African American women featured on my strange addiction
human ashes took the cake tho
I used to be addicted to eating dry wall! It tasted good too me when I was younger. I don't eat it anymore though 😅
My friend is addicted to sniffing books, comic books, newspaper, you name it. Likes the smell of the ink I guess? Looks strange, but not life threatening, lol.
Blowdryer reminds me of me sleeping with my fan on every night. Only difference is, it's safer. Without it, I can't sleep. I used to have an app that would play fan noises while Leaving a window open or staying next to an ac if I was over someone's place for the night. Need the fan noise specifically and cold air blowing.
Me too I need the noise from the fan to sleep!
Same!
Agreed
0:54 its most commonly seen in pregnant women and people with other mental and developmental disorders? Implying that pregnancy is some kind of disorder?🤣 love it.
Pica... Maybe the women were attempting to rid themselves of the child?
It is lol
@@eyemunchained8968 no just another weird craving- or depending what they eat it can be something they're drawn to due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Kids do the same with stuff like dirt, glue & playdoh
For all the people who don't understand: pica not pregnancy
Haha read this as the narrator said this 🤣🤣 and yes have u been around a pregnant women? No lies detected
I have a stuffed frog that my best friend gave to me before she passed away. His name is Bibbit and he comes in my bag with me everywhere I go. It’s actually very common for people who have Borderline Personality Disorder to become more attached to a stuffed animal than actual people. I also have shelves full of stuffed frogs that I keep buying, especially from flea markets because that means they probably used to belong to someone. I still see it as a sort of remembrance ritual, but I also recognize that I probably have way too many frogs.
Love how at the start, one of the people said, “I love you Mr. Narrator!”. 😂
I also knew a boy named Paul who was in my 4 grade class who had Pica. He would eat all sorts of weird things likes paper, pencil erasers and he even once ate a whole bar of soap. My teacher reported this alarming behavior to his parent's who were very concerned about his safety. They took him to see a specialist who has worked with people who have Pica. He still has it but he has found ways to overcome his addiction.
I love that show. I was like that woman who picked her own scabs (i suffer from social anxiety and i was in a bad place, with disoccupation and parents who have insane expectations). Since i found a job and left my house, this problem is still present but less severe than before
Mental health is a serious and dangerous problem right now that hasn’t been resolved
I'm addicted to the infographics show videos
☺️😅🤣
I was addicted to eating my own nails but got into an accident which cost my hands a few years ago. God will always make a way to help you get out of your addictions.
I do that. Started in 3rd grade. I don’t eat it but I rarely need finger nails. Thank God I grew out of biting my toe nails in my early teens. My OCD was developing around that time too.
My ex husband would eat his finger and toenails. He said when he was young and his parents were going through divorce it was really tough for his mom, they'd (very rarely) go hungry for dinner. It grew from there.
20 years later he'd stash his "bitings" in places he'd think I would not find cleaning. Hopefully for his sake and teeth he's dealt with that.
There was many significantly better solutions….isn’t your god literally taking your hands a little..ya know overkill
That's a pretty strong way to stop eating your nails, man. Either way I hope you're ok.
My strange addiction was a weird show
Jane's addiction was a weird band
They should help these mentally I’ll people instead of just filming them
You’re not wrong
Janes Addiction is one of my all time favorite bands! Nothing’s Shocking was played so much in my car tape deck in 1988 that I had to buy a new one because it got worn down!
@@Sick_Boy_Rick74 man I scream "JANE SAYS" louder than a drunk college co-ed screams the intro to journey!
Nice video also thank you so much infographics show for these very nice videos
I have several addictions myself, food being the biggest one (I lost 100 lbs though!) I still have my baby blanket from 1990, but as it’s falling apart it stays safe in one spot. I do carry my blue pillow around HOWEVER that’s only in the house & only to put it in whatever room I’ll be in (except the bathroom/kitchen). Since I was a kid I always had 1 pillow with a dark blue pillow case, that hasn’t changed. I have comfort objects but with help they’re not too obvious (I used to carry a toy frog in my pocket) I am autistic so I don’t much like change so the few things that don’t change the better I feel.
I’m physically addicted… to the good times!
Same
😂😂 💦🤝
I just have to say that TIS is my favorite channel on here and can't get over the high production quality (and randomness) of every video
tis but a scratch
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
I used to be addicted to ice cube eating as well. I was suffering anemia at the time, so exactly the situation described here. The addiction faded away once my Fe level was back to normal.
The pillow and the car dating one are hilarious.
Thanks for including social media addiction. For a minute there I thought you were gonna forget about that!
I love the smell of gasoline, I grew up around it but I’m not that crazy to bring a bottle with me to sniff that’s just bad. If I’m at the gas station I’ll take a nice whiff of it but I’m not going everyday to fill up gas for that
Love your content
I like the smell of gasoline, and sometimes It's difficult to not stand and smell it. But because I know the risks, I tell myself: "It's just a scent, and it's dangerous." And try to avoid it
Eating ice is extremely common, especially in the southern U.S. It's not uncommon for people to order a cup of ice with nothing else in it at a fast food place. (BTW, Sonic has *the best* ice to chew on!)
Yeah well maybe that's why so many of them are lacking a full set of healthy teeth too
@@PrimateProductions What are you, 12? You must be to fall back on that weak stereotype!
Go play in some traffic. The grownups are talking.
i eat ice myself
@@Malaika924 actually, its true
@@pineapplepizza3747 No, actually, it's not.
These longer videos are great!!!
I have an addiction for CRT televisions. It's horrible because they take up so much room, but there is just something about that bubbled screen and shape that makes me buy or pick up most I find (if they work). I blame it on getting rid of a console TV, that was in my family for decades, and now I'm always searching for it...
That Super Nintendo one made by Sharp, SF-1 TV?
@@TwistedSoul2002 I wish I had that! But no; a console tv is just a floor sitting one built in to a cabinet.
I’m addicted to TLC. I think m that counts as something weird. Also I’m addicted to Hoarders.
The Girl Groupe ? No scrubs TLC
I feel Vince McMahon could have an addiction to shaving. When Paul Heyman asked why Vince doesn't just grow a beard Vince responded with "I can't let it win". As well as an addiction to not sleeping only having a 2 hour sleep regimen every day.
I was absolutely addicted to a job that I loved, but thankfully left a few years ago. 14-18 hour days every day, except for the weekly 36+ hour marathon. I still have what I call relapses a couple times a week when I catch myself yearning for the work I did back then and the potent fix I experienced as a result
Nearly everyone's going to battle addiction in some form. Pick your poison
My dad would work 7am til 10pm. To me that was avoiding family and causing heart attacks. He had x4 heart bypass surgury at 33. My brother can do the same thing our dad did too. I worked so hard in renovations, construction, heavy duty cleaning etc I started my own business at age 21. We also grew up on a farm, me and my 4 older brothers started picking rocks moving boulders when we were 5 my dad made us work man. Now I'm 30 now and cannot work at all, no lifting, less bending because Progessing scoliosis, bad discs, lots of spine, bone and muscle issues. High blood pressure and was told to watch my stress on my first heart monitoring test. 😬 the way you grow up definitely can effect so many things in the your future. Some sound pretty crazy on the list and im sure some are born different. Would be nice to know more how that all happens
The metal addition is real man!I am addicted to Metal music.....must have it on Vinyl,CD,Cassett of the same album and I love it!
I do feel like alot of parents don't understand that you can't pause an online game
Typically, it comes from them coming from a time before videogames were a thing, so they never learned anything about the mechanics of them.
yep
The infographics is addicted to making awesome videos
true
I love eating ice, but I don't chew I just slowly let it melt.
I have a an addiction of collecting air
Every time I breathe its so satisfying 😍
So, you are addicted to air, huh?
As an Iowan, I could definitely imagine someone stealing books here😂
Also an Iowan here, same. As well as DVDs.
Seriously addicted to The Infographics Show. I have watched so many videos. So many.
My favorite part of this video was the added sound effects when the lady was eating her husband’s ashes. Kind of morbid.
I came to the comments solely to look for one other person who had this thought. TH-cam comments did not disappoint. Thank you, sir.
props for using that word
That poor lady!
i am addicted to not touching grass i've spent half of my life in a room which we call the basement i am still living in my parents house i am considered a no lifer
"It's mostly commonly seen in pregnant women and people with *other* mental and developmental disorders"
Pregnancy apparently counts as a disorder now
A 9 month disorder

My mother in law gave my son a small plaid pillow when he was 2. He still has and sleeps with that pillow. He is now 21. He says it makes him feel like she is with him still. He's not hurting anyone and it makes him feel closer to his grandmother.
infographics has got me. bad man thank God for dropping this video I was shaking and skin crawl0thenn it all went away
I wonder how many people are on the infographics team in order to bring us this interesting content and animations 👍✨✨✨ I had a friend who was addicted to eating sticks of butter lol🤭🤮
I was at age 9
I swear I hardly ever have to clip my nails because they refuse to grow before breaking 😂😂😂
I use to be obsessed with a stuffed blue rabbit. Took it everywhere I went until I was about 11-12. Gave it to my baby brother and he did the same thing till he was 8
Insane. Was just thinking about this this morning.
13:18 my dad does. He says it every time I'm at the gas station with him, and sometimes he uses it to clean his hands like he's in ww2.
I like the smell I’m not obsessed with it I don’t smell ⛽️ on the regular or have any at my house but I kinda like it
@@jacquihesher5424 that's how I am, I don't find it extremely pleasant or unpleasant - unless it's overwhelming strong, then it makes me sick, but I don't mind the smell of pulling into a gas station with the windows down
the smell is amazing
I love this episode I use to be addicted to grilled corn but not so much anymore I love cleaning my surroundings have to be clean period
This is so cool to know!
Love the animation
"Pregnant Women and people with other mental disorders" bro declared pregnancy a mental disorder 💀
My only addiction is being with my cat!
Lol username checks out too
❤🐈❤🐈❤🐈❤
Maybe it's time you tied the knot. Hahahaha 😂
Me too! He’s my baby🖤🐈⬛🖤
i love you narrator man 😍
Addicted to infographics for sure!!
I love the smell of gasoline, but it never got out of hand
I saw the one where that guy cleans the drains it wasn't so much that he liked cleaning the drains it was that he liked playing with the nasty wet hair that came out of the the drains it was foul.
The “meowing “ @around 9:54 Or so, had me cracking uuuuup, lololololoOMGlololol!!😆🤣😭😆🤣😭😆🤣😭
I eat ice due to low iron, I literally eat a 5lb crushed bag of ice a day, but 2 years ago I had to get implants but I still love my ice as I watch this
The woman who "really liked the smell of gasoline"?
You mean the woman who was addicted to "huffing".
Love your content ima scientist
I love you Mr Narrator Man!
These animations are epic!
14:55 love the background song
I am unashamedly addicted to watching infographic video's ^
I love you Mr. Narrator man
The flow of content....✅️
I was addicted to my asthma inhaler as a child, it was pretty nasty addiction, because I need it to live and yet I had to limit my intake.
That's in the past now, but watching this i started to worry about my cleaning habits and book collection. Considering I bought myself 15 books only for Christmas and I've spent all present money I got and all I had prepared for my selftreat only for books, I think I might be having a problem in the future. 🤔
I do love you Mr Narrator man.
I'm addicted to plants, but it's fairly well documented in many people. I think about them every living moment. I even dream of them. But again. Pretty normal for a plant addict.
Sniffing, or “huffing” fumes from chemicals like gasoline is very dangerous. I remember hearing about a kid in my college who suddenly dropped dead due to the side effects of sniffing chemicals.
I love you Mr. Narrator Man! 🤣🤣🤣
I love you Mr. narrator!!😎
I have PICA to some extent (I also was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD). As you know, many autistic people love certain textures. Mine is rubber (don't ask why I don't even know myself lol). In 5th grade, I almost choked on an eraser. I'm trying to not do it, but it is not that easy. I'm also chewing ice (again trying not to do it due to teeth problems and sensitivity).
Also, I don't understand how carrying comfort items or believing objects are real (not to the point of developing a romantic relationship with them ofc) as I've been doing this since I am young.🤷♀️
I can't sleep without a fan on. I need some kind of white noise like a fan or no light's out for me.
Btw, Beiber lives down the road from us here in Cambridge.
After a histerectomia I got "pica syndrome". It was a catastrophe! I could eat just melon, coffee and meat (almost raw). I lost abou 30kg. It was a dark time ..
I suffered from pica....ate soil and paper ..coz of sever anemia....ate hair ..pulled it out out and chew it...stress studying for gcse
I was that dad fighting the good fight against Bowser, AND I'm still gaming and watching this video; thank you very much. 🤣
You really need to make a video on how you make your videos. Very impressive 👏 👌 👍
I remember a lady was on my strange addiction that used to eat the stuffing in her couch and mattress and her car seats.
Let’s make a new addiction called infographiconimia , a person that is addicted to the infographics show
That dude who goes to every funeral will have thousands at his own, it's all an investment
Been watching you guys since like idk when 💯
I have a lot of books books on survival books on herbs and how to use them homesteading books basic butchering of livestock and animals and a bunch of cookbooks
I have an addiction that is healthy and since I have autism and a whole lot more medical problems I restore cabbage patch kids and make clothes for them and I also post them over the Facebook and it makes me feel really good about myself and it boost up my self-esteem
I work at a gas station, you can't keep gas in a water bottle. It would melt through the plastic.
Im only addicted to lovely channel infographic show
