It's 9 p.m., and you're starving. You've exhausted your pantry, there was nothing there but your creepy roommate's unfrosted Pop-Tarts. You need delivery, and you need it now.

Everyone knows that hunger makes us do strange things. We lash out at friends, make strange noises -- and sometimes, apparently, we beg our favorite food delivery place to bring us batteries.

GrubHub, a website exclusively for food delivery sent us its users' most random searches. The results read like the ramblings of a crazy person, as it seems many of the people searching on the site don't need it for food at all.

Searches for cigarettes, toilet paper and batteries are disturbingly common. Take a look for yourself -- we've compiled the weirdest searches below.
