You Can Get Addicted to What!?
We all know about alcohol and drug addiction. We have all even heard of food addiction and internet addiction. But sugar addiction? Google glass addiction? It seems like every day an addiction that seems stranger than the last pops up. Behold, some of the most recent tales of addiction that will make you do a double-take.
- Sugar Addiction. With victims searching for their next sugar high, stating that “Little Debbie was my best friend,” it becomes apparent that many people have developed addictions to sugar. According to Dr. Pam Peeke, “the effect of the sugar on the reward center is to cause changes that literally keep you addicted.” Eek, that made my sweet tooth hurt.
- Google Glass Addiction. One former marine has recently revealed that he was having a hard time functioning due to his “withdrawal from Google Glass.” Good to know that wearing the Glass for up to 18 hours a day will do that to you.
- Rock Consumption Addiction. Yes you interpreted that correctly, some have addictions to eating rocks. This is often caused by Pica condition, an issue that causes sufferers to crave inedible objects. One Indian Villager reportedly ate over six pounds of bricks, gravel, and mud every day. Yum!
