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
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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 😆
Pick some fresh berries from my balcony planter. Do a little happy dance while eating them.
I’m a 50+ y/o man.
I like barking and do it well enough that some dogs bark back to me. Most won’t, but some also have funny reactions.
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?
Biscoff and tea pair well!
Tapping the top of a beer can before opening it.
It’s polite to knock first.
