Tyra Banks’ Unusual Habit: Eating Days-Old Bed Crumbs
Tyra Banks recently admitted she tackles days-old crumbs from her sheets in the most direct way possible. I’m Sage Matthews, award-winning journalist, and here’s your inside look at the model icon’s unfiltered confession.
During her July 28 appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, Banks, 51, revealed that she and her mother often indulge in ice cream and popcorn while lounging in bed. When host Jenna Bush Hager confessed she avoids snacks in the sheets because she’s “a little bit of a messy eater,” Banks paused before sharing her bold solution: instead of tossing crumbs into the trash, she simply picks them up and eats them.
“A couple days later…” Banks laughed, mimicking the motion of scooping crumbs from her sheets. “I clean crumbs by eating them, because if you put it in the trash you might get roaches or something. So just clean it up with your finger and eat it.” The Life-Size actor, who co-parents nine-year-old York Banks Asla with ex Erik Asla, emphasized that this trick applies only to non-perishable snacks. “Popcorn? C’mon. That’s like astronaut food, it lasts forever. You just pick it up. I’m not joking.”
Banks also shared her household rules for keeping floors crumb-free: a strict no-shoe policy. While she refrains from eating every type of fallout, she’s comfortable handling snacks that won’t spoil. “If it’s not super perishable, a few days is fine,” she explained, noting her personal standard for hygiene and pest prevention at home. The candid snippet offered fans a peek into how the supermodel balances glamour with everyday practicality.
Outside her bedroom revelations, Banks has been busy expanding her business ventures Down Under. This summer, she relocated to Australia with longtime partner Louis Bélanger-Martin to launch her SMiZE and Dream artisanal ice cream shop. “We were making a lot of our ice cream there in a big facility, perfecting our recipes,” she told Today in April. After asking her son how he felt about moving to Sydney, Banks and her family embraced the opportunity.
Whether she’s sharing unconventional cleaning hacks or building a global dessert brand, Tyra Banks continues to surprise admirers with her blend of candor and creativity. Her confession about bed crumbs underscores a simple philosophy: if you can’t beat the mess, eat it. That said, the next time you snack in bed, will you dare to follow her crumb-cleaning playbook? Who knew bed crumbs could taste this good? Stay tuned for more confessions from Banks and beyond.
