Why do people eat their boogers sometimes?

I get having a nose pick every now and then. I cannot claim to have never done that myself. But eating it? I am morbidly curious, what makes some people eat their boogers after picking them? I am serious. I would not do that, unless fair sums of money were on the table. Why do some of you eat your boogers?

    I eat mine because I don't want to flick it. That's nasty and weird. I don't want my boogers to be sitting on the ground or in my car forever!

    And because god put our nose and mouth right next to each other for SOME reason.

    I like getting the crunch from all the dust that has settled in my nose. I especially like the black boogers. God made dirt and dirt don't hurt.

    i see people whom look to be reasonable driving in their cars and eating boogers, its unbelievable that they would do it in the first place, but to do so in public is incredible

    It's an unconscious habit left over from one's toddler days when EVERYTHING went into the mouth.

    BTW... this really is not an ETIQUETTE question... but thanks for asking!

    Have a polite day.
