Lmao, dude didn’t take op for his word and thought “I won’t really know if I like paper until I eat this whole book”. So by panel two he’s devoured the whole book, and you know what? He doesn’t really like paper.
With all due respect, I don’t want to try your cooking
That’s fair
Found all the kids who ate glue in class…
I just ate paper and fabric when I was younger
My mom started putting spices on my shirts so I stopped eating fabric
I can verify from long-ago experience that the paper in school exercise books does not taste good. Do you think they add bittering agents?
Pica?
You know that dude that bet he could recognize toilet paper brands by taste? He won that bet.
Also the reason paper tastes sweet is xylotol (wood sugar). It has some amazing properties and is edible in small doses.
How small is small? And what happens beyond it?
There’s a video (below) where they make rice crispies with sawdust as an added ingredient. Like 10-30% sawdust was fine and just affected the texture. It wasn’t until 50% sawdust that they tasted bad. https://youtu.be/AKDal51f5LU?si=79LBDaYnRmLa1cSn
Paper is cellulose and glue. Cellulose doesn’t have any flavor, so you’re probably enjoying the glue as it dissolves.
