According to a woman who goes by the name Kinah, she eats 4 rolls of toilet paper every day for more than 20 years and spending $2,700 a year on it.
Kinah can’t get enough of it and says she’ll eat it at “work, in the car, or at the nail salon,” apparently much to the amusement of the salon owner, who is perplexed by her client’s peculiar habit.
Kinah uses up to four rolls of toilet paper per day, totaling 14,000 pounds of the product in the past 20 years.
TLC reports that she spends an astounding $2,700 (£2,100) per year on her toilet paper addiction, a far cry from the $1,500 (£1,200) that she used to spend.
Kinah also shared that she has a penchant for a particular type of loo roll, preferring the thinner one ply sheets of paper, due to it being easier to consume. She described it as like “eating a pb and j [peanut butter and jelly sandwich] without the crust,” confessing to loving the “crunch”.
Waxing lyrical over her love for toilet paper, Kinah went on to say that her toilet paper habit is great as it has “zero calories and doesn’t leave you with a hangover”.
Kinah’s fiancé seems less than impressed with Kinah’s toilet paper consumption and hopes to wipe it away. He shared: “It’s not meant fort human consumption. It’s f**king gross man.”
But Kinah seemingly won’t be parted with her love of all things loo roll, as she continued: “You know that feeling, like after Thanksgiving, you’ve eaten all your favourite foods and you’re just sitting on your couch and you’re just relaxing, like, that’s what I feel after I eat toilet paper.”
“When people see me eating toilet paper, I’ll get a few like weird stares. I even saw one person pull their phone out and try to record me but I don’t care, everyone has their weird things that they do and that’s just mine”.
