I recently saw an ad for biscoff and I was surprised that people would eat them randomly. The only time I ever eat biscoff is on a plane when the flight attendant gives me some. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love them but I rarely think about it as something I can just go buy in a store. Seeing the ad was so jarring because to me it doesn’t feel like something I should eat a lower altitudes
When browsing through used books, I try to guess which year the book was published based on typefaces, graphics, etc. and check with the copyright date on one of the front pages. For books published after ~1960, my guess is usually good to within 4 years.
I blow on the top of soda cans before opening them.
When I was very young I’d ride to and from school and it took me past my grandparents. During summer I’d stop in on the way home to grab a soda and because they kept them in a shed out back they’d get dusty before getting put in the fridge. So I’d blow the dust off and make sure the top is clean, fast forward 25 years and I still do it.
I tap them three times on top. My gf from high school did it, and she rubbed off on me
My dad’s and I both occasional partake in a specific ritual that goes as follows:
- Crack open an ice cold Coke Zero (also works with coke. And probably other colas).
Take a few sips while you either pull fresh from the garden or out of the fridge:
- Radishes
Wash them up. You can slice, quarter or leave whole.
Get snacking.
Enjoy your fresh, slightly spicy (or really spicy depending!) radishes with your cold bubbly coke.
-
Wait.
-
Burp
-
Transcend this mortal plane, bask in the glory of the radish and coke burps that follow.

When I pour Pepsi into a glass I put my nose over it and feel the bubbles fizz on my nose. I’ve done this since I was about 7 years old.
Coke is better than Pepsi but somehow the effervescence coming off of a Pepsi wins that battle.
I like to grab door handles with my just my index and pinky fingers. I don’t know why. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. It just amuses me a little. I think I started doing it pretending to be an alien.
Like devil horns style?
Pick some fresh berries from my balcony planter. Do a little happy dance while eating them.
I’m a 50+ y/o man.
Any volume adjustment that gives a numerical value needs to end in a 0, 2, 5, or 8.
Don’t ask, I couldn’t explain other than those numbers make me feel better.
If my wife changes it to something other than ending with those numbers I need to change it.
5 or 0 for me. It’s a little annoying. So if someone wants to change to another volume, I close my eyes and it’s OK. Under 10, all numbers become acceptable.
It’s more of a stupid habit, but I always lock my car twice. I know pressing the button once locks every door, but I can’t stop myself.
It’s not stupid. Most cars will signal whether or not they are locked properly on the second press.
I like barking and do it well enough that some dogs bark back to me. Most won’t, but some also have funny reactions.
I don’t know, everything I do could be silly, but it’s normal to me
A few years ago I decided I wanted to improve my hand flute skills and began consciously practicing daily. Since then, I have developed the habit of playing the hand flute automatically when my hands are not busy.
While lounging, I will interlink my big toes. I honestly didn’t know I did it until my wife saw it and with a look of horror asked what I was doing 😆
When I become aware of my hands, I need to position them so that my fingers wouldn’t interfere with each other if they were ten times their length. I think something happened to me when I watched Edward Scissorhands.
All square snacks must be flipped into the mouth. Bite edge of snack, flip it (somehow, I got no idea. that’s my mouths job), chew. Repeat.
Eat chips and crackers normally. Square though? Must flip!
Biscoff and tea pair well!
