“If you chew for a long time, [newspaper] has this distinct flavor…I thought, ‘this is delicious’.
Then one day at kindergarten, I saw colored paper. So I snuck a piece into my pocket and went to the bathroom. Because if I ate it in front of the teacher, they’d take it away. So in the bathroom I ate it, but it was tasteless. Colored paper is not tasty. It has zero flavor.
Then I saw tissue next to me, so I tried eating that too — but the tissue is just plain bad, not just tasteless.
After that, I quit eating paper…Only newspaper tastes good.”
