Some people (if not all of them) have something they cannot live without. Be it a video game, a particular brand of chocolate, or some sort of before-going-to-sleep ritual, there's always that one (or more) thing that brings them comfort and makes life just a little bit easier.

However, while there are things we truly enjoy doing, eating, smelling, etc., sometimes those 'hobbies' of ours can get pretty addictive. Thinking about that, I got curious about some of the strangest addictions that our pandas have. Scroll down to read the answers!

Recent studies found that salt does not cause any health problems. If you have high blood pressure, elimination of salt is only because it retains water. In fact studies found people who are extreme in avoiding all salt die prematurely.

I have the exact same cravings, but I have noticed that when i get that craving to have so much salt my tongue burns, it's because my thyroid levels are off. Growing up with iodized salt caused my body to recognize salt might help when my levels start to go wacky. I noticed this because pouring on the sea salt didn't stop the craving. Good ol' Morton's salt did the trick. Now when I feel the salt craving, I call my doctor and schedule bloodwork.

I can so relate, but with my SO. He's one of those guys that likes to know how things work or learn new skills, and several years ago, he picked up sewing...but I digress...before his grandad passed away, he got really sick, and my SO went back to Leeds to stay with the Olds for a few months. Before he left, he cut up a few of his old t-shirts and made me a pillow cover so I could still give him a cuddle while he was away. Still sleep with that thing, every night.😊

I'm addicted to watching sitcoms for months on end, currently it's "Modern Family." When I finish the last episode, I go back to episode 1 and start all over again. I've watched the entire series, start to finish, well over 100 times and see no end in sight. Before "Modern Family," it was 94 complete viewings of "The Goldbergs." This all started during lockdown and the more the world explodes, the more I crave watching one show at a time, ad nauseum. I just feel more calm this way and can deal with the world a little better.

Translation. I translate free education systems (microbit.org, MakeCode and Moodle) into Hungarian, as a volunteer. I already translated some 115k words (250-280 fully-written letter-sized pages). It relaxes me, I can do it all day/night.

I don't think that's strange. We prefer sparkling water, actually.

Bread. Funny story, there’s a scientific reason for it. So I mostly eat it when I’m bored. Apparently, eating high carb foods (like bread) make your brain produce dopamine, and since I have adhd, i have dopamine deficit periods of time, and therefore crave high carb foods. Anyways I like bread. But not toast. Toast has a bad texture to me.

Bread is soft and mushy compared to toast which is dry and crunchy.

Sewing certain fabrics is such a great feeling. The way the machine goes through a nice crisp cotton with perfect stitches and a crisp line

Grapes! Every time I get my hands on a plastic container of them (usually contains 4 bunches) they’d be gone in a week if my parents didn’t stop me! I can easily go through at least 3 bunches a day if I had the chance! Just something about them lol

I'm addicted to this little pointless free Mahjong game online from 247mahjong dot com. They have different 'themes' like Winter and Fall and Valentine's and Holidays etc. And in each theme there are like 10 different games. I've played every single one at least twice. I don't know why but I usually play the whole series and then go back and try to beat my own times. I've been doing it for years every night.

I also have a weird 'addiction' to never drinking the last of a bottle. Every soda bottle or bottled water I have always has a few sips still left in it and I always throw it away. It's the weirdest thing and I keep trying to stop my self from doing it because it's so wasteful. I do it with food sometimes, too. I always make more than I'll probably eat.

Once tried living like I'm in a musical. Dance numbers and singing everything. Unfortunately, mom reminded me that she brought me into this world, and she could take me out. Nothing good really rhymed with that so I stopped.

Keep going back to it, wanting to play for just an hour and then a few hours later I check the clock and realize time flies by when you're having fun.
