The white stuff between oreo cookies. Because i always have the strange feeling that it's actually toothpaste. I have never tasted it before and everytime before i eat an oreo i pull the cookies apart and throw away the white centre. Friends tell me it's really just cream but i can never bring myself to eat it.

popsicle, ice cream, corn dog sticks... anything like that drives me insane, not even nails on a chalkboard gets me- but as humorous as it is to my children to freak me out with it, a wooden popsicle stick grinding against teeth makes me nuts. I am looking to see if there is a name for this...

I don't know why but I've always been afraid of fish. I have had nightmares about them.And my brother taunts me with them a lot.

I have a fear of foods on sticks, like corn dogs or popsicles. When I was younger, I was eating a popsicle and somehow got a splinter in my gums. Now I cannot eat anything on a stick.

I've been afraid of starving to death for as long as I can remember. I almost always eat more than I need to, and plan my whole life around meals, and panic if I find I have to miss a meal break or eat less than I had planned to. I've even eaten expired food because it was there in front of me, even though I wasnt hungry, and became violently ill almost immediately. Perhaps the fear is reinforced by the fact that despite my eating more than 4000 calories a day, I never gain weight and have been rather small and thin all my life.

I can never finish food I've snagged from my mother; sweets in particular. I recall one day during lunch I'd happened to bring a bagfull of oatmeal cookies I'd absconded with the day before my mother took off on her flight to New Orleans. ... However, when I set into the bag, I found it near impossible to finish, as I was wholly convinced that to finish the bag would be to kill my mother. ... I *still* can't finish a bag of oatmeal cookies to this day.
