Hell.
…jk, but no idea. If that’s a thing I’d like to know too.
There apparently is a named phobia for Styrofoam, specifically: Styrophobia.
Someone I knew called things like green beans "squeaky".
Whatever this is called, I suffer from it. The squeaky sound of Styrofoam makes my eyes water and my mouth tense up to the point I can't speak.
Hmm I don't mind walking in snow but I know what your talking about. Especially with the green beans,it's kinda rubbery almost. No idea what it's called though. It's probably related to what ever the phobia/ism is that doesn't like the feeling/sound of nails on a chalk board. 🤔
