Just what I needed to help my pica cravings

Nasty as heck, doesn’t have a good taste at all🤮🤮🤮 do not buy waste of money

This is legitimate chalk. This is not candy chalk, and it is certainly not for anyone who has never had this sort of craving before. I am hooked on this product.Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve had a craving for chalk/dirt -anything earthy. I would sneak chalk from school, or I would eat my sidewalk chalk. Eventually my cravings subsided because I swear they started to put stuff in sidewalk chalk to make the taste unappealing and chemically. This is even common knowledge in my family, and has become a running joke.It wasn’t until I got pregnant that my cravings returned and I was determined to find something to satisfy the overwhelming craving. I came across this product, and wasn’t disappointed but also was not overjoyed. I tried a few methods to find the best result. I’ve been repurchasing for over a year now. Certainly satisfies my cravings.I recommend letting the chalk air out for a day or 12hrs (I can never wait that long after the package arrives). The longer it sits in a cool, dry, well aerated space - the better it tastes.Some of the sticks are just better than others. My favorite is when I get the sticks that stay a little gritty all throughout chewing. Other times it’ll be more of pasty consistency the longer you chew - not ideal for me but not a dealbreaker. Always a great crunch though! Even though it’s a bit of a gamble as to whether I’ll get a gritty stick, it’s worth it.So, if you have cravings similar to mine, give this a try.

Unfortunately, I have pica now during my pregnancy and have been craving chalk. I typically chew, then spit out the chalk. This is one that, apparently, I can completely ingest, so I decided to give it a try. I feel like a chalk connoisseur, so excuse my excessive description.Many people complain about the price, but I am not bothered by it. They are wrapped very well and appear to be clean. The chalk sticks are uniform, too. I can't complain much about the price of something I obsessively crave.The flavor is fine, but I wish it had even less of a taste. I can taste a slight twinge of something acrid, possibly the minerals.My bigger issue is the texture. It feels like I am eating something cakey or starchy, which I DO NOT LIKE when it comes to my pica right now. It gets thick in the mouth like a starch and cakey. I prefer crispy, dry, and crunchy all the way through. It is crisp on initial chewing, but after that, it is downhill for me. I read in another review to rinse it off and let it dry for a day or so. I will try that out and see if it will make it crunchier and take away that starchy feel.However, if you are into a soft finish - it's perfect.I will try the rinse-and-dry method,;. Hopefully, it will give the crispy, dry flavor I want. If not, I don't foresee myself repurchasing it and will use it as a backup to my other chalk. I looked forward to having safe chalk to ingest, but I may have to stick to just chewing and spitting.

It satisfies the crunch craving at first but has a weird aftertaste, kind of reminds me of bleach. It also turns into a paste as you chew. I still ate it because my chalk cravings are so strong, I am probably going to try a different brand until I find the right one for me.

Update: I received an iron IV blood infusion from my doctor and I no longer crave chalk and dirt, please talk to your doctor if you are anemic. It will help you so much.Update: I’ve purchased it a couple times. My pregnancy pica is extreme. My last purchase was perfect. Not broken and super clean. No impurities or spots in it. Very soft and easy to bite into. I still spit most of it out since it can cause stomach issues. But chewing it is very satisfying so is the flavor. Also, I’ve found that taking iron supplements does help decrease the cravings.Clean chalk and a good amount. Mine was not broken. I thought I had pica because I was craving chalk even tho I never ate chalk before. But I could not stop thinking about it. Tried this and it’s good, the texture is nice. Flavor is kinda weird. I bought some freeze dried vanilla ice cream and it it similar in texture so I think ill eat that instead. Because I’m afraid to swallow the chalk. The ice cream also tastes better.

I don’t know. The taste is bad. I personally don’t like it and I’ve literally eaten normal chalk before. It melt into your mouth. Maybe if it tasted better then yea. Wouldn’t buy it again but I don’t have pika so idk. Maybe other people like it but not me😭

I'm not sure what tuber or whoever my son watched that got this in his head, but he asked for it for his birthday. So, I purchased it thinking it was a very stupid thing. He and his three friends tried it - all gagging on how terrible it tasted and hurrying to wash it down. Since this wasn't cheap I will indeed make him use all of it, hopefully next time he thinks before wanting to eat something so dumb just because an influencer had it or something. Do not buy this for your kids.
