We love animals. And, for some reason, we all love seeing animals mimicking human behavior even more.

We can't really explain why, but we find it adorable, and just can't get enough. How many photos of dogs and cats behind a wheel of a car have you seen.

Were they wearing sunglasses? Hats?

Yup, that's what we are talking about. We just love that kind of stuff.

People have been fascinated with animals acting humanely ever since Pizza Rat made his debut in the New York City subway. Well, to be honest, it started well before that, but it really caught up with the invention of the internet.

There's something about a creature gorging on a very human treat that simply seems to capture everyone's attention. Twitter user @heatherchristle shared a story about being awoken by a strange sound, only to find out that it was a mouse trying to unwrap a Lindt chocolate truffle.

Now, she had never seen the truffle before. It was the mouse’s truffle. It brought it from somewhere.

Like, it was out shopping, and then came back home to eat the goodies. This post has inspired other Twitter users to share their experiences with animals eating some completely human food and treats.

We have selected some of the most interesting ones, and we know you will find them amusing. Take a look:

One Twitter user shared her interesting story:

The incident at the inn may appear strange to some, but it seems to have charmed a sizable chunk of the internet, as evidenced by the people who felt moved to share their own similar stories.

Apparently, mice also like Green & Blacks chocolate

Squirrels love McDonalds? Well, they obviously don't pay much attention to calories...

Maybe the mouse was going out on a date and it needed a breath freshener

Yes, that mouse is taunting you

CarMax loves his avocados.

Have you noticed the animals are not eating tasty food and sweets on the spot? Nope, they are taking them home, to eat them in peace... Or to share with the rest of the family... Nah, no one shares Lindt Truffles.

Alcohol can kill...The poor fellow was probably drowning his sorrow because his girlfriend left him...

Food is one of the greatest pleasures in life. And most of us humans believe that we are the only species that can really appreciate food.

In our minds, animals eat only because they need to, and not for pleasure. Well, it turns out we were wrong.

These stories clearly indicate that squirrels get bored with all those nuts and crave a big juicy hamburger. Mice, on the other hand, enjoy fine sweets made from Belgian chocolate.

Yes, those little critters who would eat just about anything, books, furniture, cables… they actually have a sweet tooth. And a sophisticated taste!

These stories serve as a gentle reminder of the sweetest and most basic joys in life, as well as a gentle reminder that, at the end of the day, we all just want to eat something tasty.
