Robert is so addicted to eating this plastic bags that he goes to the extent of stealing them form grocery stores to satisfy his cravings.According to the report, Robert starts off his day by eating a bag for breakfast.
The man told the tabloid that plastic bags of different colours taste different and the blue ones were his favourite. Robert admitted that he hunts for bags in the neighbourhood and on occasions even drives some distance to collect them. Sometimes he even drives around the neighbourhood looking for newspaper bags that have been left outside to satisfy his cravings.
