Tyra Banks Admits She Eats Leftover Crumbs From the Floor at Home

The SMiZE & DREAM founder shared her eyebrow-raising habit while chatting with Jenna Bush Hager, calling it her way of keeping things clean.

If you drop crumbs in your house, Tyra Banks may suggest that you eat them instead of sweeping them up. 

While guest co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends, Tyra Banks shared a so-called “cleaning technique” that left the studio in stunned laughter.

The supermodel and entrepreneur revealed that she loves snacking in bed with her mom, Carolyn London, saying, “Hanging in bed. We do ice cream in bed. We do popcorn.”

But when co-host Jenna Bush Hager admitted she avoids eating in bed to prevent crumbs, Banks chimed in with a response that floored her.

“Yes, but the great thing is then a couple days later…” Banks teased. A shocked Hager cut in with, “No you do not… you go down there and…”

Banks, founder of SMiZE & DREAM ice cream, proudly confirmed that she eats the crumbs off her floor.

“I do! And you know, Jenna, I clean crumbs by eating them,” she revealed. 

“Because if you put it in the trash, it’s gonna get roaches or something. So you just clean it up with your finger. Or you just eat it.” 

Hager, still stunned, asked Banks what she does with the crumbs on her floor. 

“If it’s on your ground! That’s your feet. I have a no shoe rule in my home so I can eat off my floor,” she continued. 

“No, but I’m serious, I do that. But then I see my son doing it and I’m like, ‘Don’t do that!’ And he’s like, ‘But you do it.’ A few days if it’s not super perishable. Like a popcorn? I mean, come on,” Banks replied. “That’s like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I’m not joking.”
