Phobias Revisited!

Oh hi everyone!

So, this may be my last blog posting a for while since I have 4 tests, 1 essay, and 1 project all due next week! But int he spirit of the weekend, I took another look at the random and interesting words that you can find on the Internet when you are supposed to be studying.

Just about everyone in America has had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It doesn't matter what type of bread, peanut butter or jelly/jam. And what goes best with peanut butter and jelly? Well a glass of milk! The saltiness of the peanut butter and sweetness of the jelly all mushing together to into one big sticky blob on the roof of your mouth which is then pried off by the cool, silky smoothness of the milk.

But what if you are afraid on peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth? No, seriously.

And the phobia of the day is Arachibutyrophobia! Also known as the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

So how does one develop Arachibutyrophobia? Although, I couldn't find anything specific I would assume that the person with Arachibutyrophobia had a bad experience with peanut butter when they were younger or heard about someone who had a bad experience.

I know I almost choked on a piece of bacon when I was little. I couldn't eat bacon for weeks. I'm good now though.

So that was the word of the day!

Peace
