If someone would say he/she is afraid of snakes, that is totally understandable but someone dreading over cheese? Now that's uncommon. Today, we are listing unusual phobias toward food.

Misophonia



Misophonia is literally "hatred of sound". It is a putative disorder of uncertain classification in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. For people with a condition that some scientists call misophonia, mealtime can be torture. The sounds of other people eating — chewing, chomping, slurping, gurgling — can send them into an instantaneous, blood-boiling rage. Better stay away from ramen houses if you have this fear.

Lipophobia



Lipophobia also sometimes called lipophobia lipophobicity (from the Greek λιποφοβία from λίπος lipos "fat" and φόβος phobos "fear"), is a chemical property of chemical compounds which means "fat rejection", which literally translates to "fear of fat". Thank goodness I don't have this. 

Turophobia



Turophobia (from Greek turi, "cheese") is the fear of cheese. People suffering this phobia would avoid consuming cheese and other cheesy stuff like pizza, cheesy pastas, poutine and basically almost all food experiments and mashups done by Buzzfeed and Tasty because they contain cheese. These are avoided by sufferers because of the cheesy taste and the gooey appearance of cheese.

Trypophobia



Trypophobia is an intense and irrational fear of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps. The term is believed to have been coined by a participant in an online forum in 2005. The word is from the Greek: τρύπα, trýpa, meaning "hole" and φόβος, phóbos, meaning “fear”. If simply looking at this picture makes your skin crawl and makes you feel very uncomfortable, then you might be suffering trypophobia.

Prasinophobia and Chlorophobia



Prasinophobia (from Greek prasinos, meaning "green"), referred exclusively as chlorophobia (from Greek chloros, meaning "yellow-green"), is fear of the color green. This fear is often associated with the fear of vegetation (germinatophobia). Have you ever met someone who has prasinophobia and is a vegetarian? Unless if they are colorblind, I guess.
Any Final Fantasy fan will know who Square Enix is. The maker of the hit video game finally opened the (probably) first and (definitely) official (and licensed too) Final Fantasy themed cafe in Tokyo, Japan!




When dining, your drink orders will be taken first then you can just order additional items by using tablets provided at your table.


The interesting part is, some of the food items are real life adaptation of those that are found in Final Fantasy XV like this banana pound cake below:



They do burgers right too! Just take a look!



These pancakes look divine too!



Oh, they also have a gift shop section too! I hope they sell potions, we're running low on HP.

Interesting World does not promote vandalism but this one is just too awesome to ignore. A Soviet Army monument in Sofia, Bulgaria was vandalized many times in the past by unknown "artists". 

In 2011, the monument's sculpture of Soviet soldiers, was made to look like popular culture icons such as Superman, Santa Claus, Ronald McDonald, Captain America, Robin, The Joker, etc.


Of course, Russia wasn't happy. We could just imagine an angry ambassador at the other end of the phone line in Russia's Embassy in Bulgaria. 


The Joker is eerily accurate! Props to the artist!

Russia demanded a clean-up and Bulgaria humbly apologized but the 2011 vandalism seemed inspirational to other "artists" so it happened again. 

In 2013, the monument was painted pink which staged an "artistic apology" for Bulgaria's support of Soviet troops who suppressed Czechoslovakia's Prague Spring revolt against Moscow-based communist rulers.

In 2014, the monument was painted in the colors of the Ukranian flag. I wonder what's the theme this year.
