Kourtney Kardashian eats her Kit Kats in 6 steps. We can one-up that weirdness.

Today I learnt I’ve been eating Kit Kats wrong my whole life. It all started with Kourtney Kardashian, who recently posted a ‘hack’ on her website of how she eats the delicious chocolate bar.

Apparently it’s not a case of simply ripping open the packet, breaking off a stick and chomping your way through – the six steps (yes, six!) involve biting off the ends, nibbling round the chocolate edges then eating it wafer layer by wafer layer. Allegedly because it’s so time consuming, you end up eating less. (Don’t even get me started on that). (WATCH: The Kardashian way to eat a Kit Kat. Post continues after video.)

I brought the ridiculous process up with The Glow team ready for us all to laugh about it, before the joke quickly turned on me. More than half the team DID actually eat their Kit Kats this way, which sparked another conversation; what foods do you eat ‘weirdly’?

1. Tim Tams

“I HAVE to make a Tim Tam straw with my tea or coffee. I bite off the two ends, suck the tea through the biscuit, then eat it super quickly. Otherwise, I’d rather have no Tim Tam at all (not really, I still eat them).”

2. Meat Pies

“When I eat a pie, I take the top off, eat the inside like soup and then eat the pastry at the end. There’s no other way to do it.”

3. Cadbury Creme Eggs

"I bite off the top then suck and lick out the gooey inside. Then I just eat the chocolate. That sounds a bit serial killer-ish doesn't it?"

4. Cupcakes

"With cupcakes, I cut it in half and flip it so the icing is in the centre THEN eat," says Amy. Who knew?

5. Toast

"I always eat the bottom part of the toast crust first - for some reason, it feels a lot more disappointing than the top, so I like to get it out of the way." (Post continues after gallery.)

6. Corn on the cob

"I eat it really pedantically. I take one bite, then go sideways from there in a line, then start on the next line. My cob is always completely clean, whereas the husband just takes haphazard bites all over and ends up with bits still on it everywhere."

7. Tea

"I always put milk and tea in the cup before water. Always. It stays hotter for longer."

8. Vanilla Slice

"I do pastry first, then custard, then icing. I will eat half of it normally then commence deconstruction."

9. Big Macs

"I take off the outer bread, fill it will chips and eat. Then I put chips in the patty with the cheese and lettuce and sauce on it and eat. Then I basically repeat for the rest of it. Dissecting it section by section with chips as the filling. It's delicious."

10. Mint Slice

"Eat off top of the mint pattie bit, use teeth to then eat the chocolate around the side of the biscuit and on the bottom of it, then eat the biscuit at the end."

11. Chicken Schnitzel

"I cut the whole crumbed section off a chicken schnitzel and eat it at the end."

12. Mars Bars

"I strip the outer edges and top of the chocolate coating. Then I eat off the caramel. Then devour the rest as is."

13. Wafer biscuits

"I eat triple wafer biscuits layer by layer. I don't really know why, maybe because you get to enjoy the experience more and for some reason I reckon it tastes better."

14. Plate of food

"Any kind of dinner plate situation is veg/salad first, then carbs/starch, then meat/pie/whatever the exciting part is. I hate mixing them all together."
