Eating a single square of paper from your notepad will probably just give you a mildly confused stomach. It’s like eating a single leaf from a tree—annoying, not apocalyptic. The real villain is habit. If you’re regularly chomping on paper products, you risk chemical exposure, dental damage, and intestinal drama.
Oh, and one more thing: toilet paper. Don’t eat that. It’s designed to dissolve in water, but that also means it turns into a paste in your stomach. Imagine swallowing a flour-and-water dough ball. That’s the texture. Pretty gross, right?
A Final, Sticky Note
Look, I’m not here to judge. Maybe you were bored. Maybe you thought the page tasted like vanilla. Maybe you’re a geologist testing your snack’s compaction. But if you find yourself eyeing that old receipt, ask yourself: “Would I rather eat this or a carrot?” Your colon will thank you.
And if you absolutely must eat paper? Go for origami paper. It’s thinner, usually less bleached, and at least you can fold it into a cute swan first. Y’know, for presentation.
