Clay, chalk and earth cravings aren't exactly small talk. Mine live in a fairly small circle, my parents, my siblings, my very patient husband, and not a lot further than that. I once joked to a friend about eating a bit of plaster off the wall and watched their face run through confusion, horror and mild concern in about four seconds flat. Fair enough, really. It's a niche thing to explain.
But there's nothing wrong with loving the crunch, the texture, the whole ritual of it. Whether you're a quiet solo cruncher, someone who films it, a stash collector, or you've only just worked out there's a word for what you've been doing your whole life, none of that needs justifying.
So I made a small merch range. T-shirts, hoodies, stickers for your stash box or your laptop, mugs, a bit of artwork. Nothing elaborate, more stuff on the way when I get to it. It's for anyone who wants to be loud about this, or just wear a knowing wink to the people who already get it.
This isn't really about explaining yourself. It's about not having to. Whether you've been at this for years or you're only just starting to say it out loud, you're not alone in it, and you're definitely not weird for it. You're just crunchy.
Have a look if you're curious, and tell me if there's something you'd want to see added. This one's for all of us.
