I'm addicted to jelly beans! It's SO bad for my teeth - but they've become my vice since I had to give up coffee and chocolate. I have a price club jar of jelly-belly jelly beans in my kitchen - I eat at least 40 a day, sometimes more! I even take baggies of them with me on vacation!
I'm also a compulsive zit popper - any zit that's on my face (or the occasional shoulder zit) I will squeeze till it pops regardless of how much it hurts - I think this developed in middle school when I decided that zits were disgusting and I had to go to great lenghts to get rid of them - good thing I don't get them too often any more.

Quirky - but I think that's about it...

Personally, I think they must put something addictive in that Chapstick! new

It seems to be a problem for a lot of people.

dentists say that ruins your teeth?

Don't know what the Vick's Vapor Rub is doing to my nose. Probably burning a hole in it! Ha!

I used to do the ice chomping thing SO BAD when I was younger! The only reason I stopped (which just means I don't have ice 'cause if I do... I have to chomp away, hee hee) was 'cause I got teased for it so bad!
My friends read somewhere that chewing on ice meant you are "sexually frustrated" (which, by the way, is ridiculous!) and made fun of me whenever I had a beverage!
I wonder if it's why I have so many problems with my teeth? Hmmm...
Anywho, glad to know I am not alone!

Cheers,

I believe it's a known fact that your lips ARE really addicted to chapstick. They've become so used to the protection you give them that you can NEVER stop using it. Really.......!!! Everyone I know, I mean EVERYONE I know that uses chapstick, can not stop!!!! Weird huh how that happens. I fortunately never started using it, otherwise I'd be in the same boat! BUt hey, there are way worse things to be addicted to so chapstick is just fine!!!

I go through addictions every so many years. I think my main addiction at the current moment is WaWa turkey hoagies with just a little bit of mayo and a side of pickles! I get one at least 3 times a week. Sometimes 4! I even tell my hubby that I'm going to lunch for my addiction!

Oh my gosh and my other addiction is shoes, but I guess that doesn't count cause many of us are addicted to shoes

Damn. I'm addicted. I ALWAYS use lip balm, always have! I don't care for Chap Stick; my lip drug of choice is Mentholatum ("Natural Ice") because it's so cool and refreshing -- and smells great too! When I first get up in the morning, after brushing my teeth, on goes the lip drug. Just before bed, after brushing my teeth, on goes the lip drug. When I go out, though, I use a tinted lip balm so I have a little color. I never use lipstick, only tinted lip balm.

Oh, I am so hooked! Yikes! How do I get this monkey off my back?!
