Dh has just taken the biscuit tin away from me as I reached for a third. He says two biscuits is the normal quota and three would be greedy. I say three biscuits minimum is the correct amount to have with your coffee.

I'm right, aren't I? AIBU?

It depends entirely on where you are in your cycle.

Blimey. I think three is greedy. One or two. Sorry.

Three is greedy! But in the case of plain chocolate Choco Leibniz, unavoidable.

We're talking Bourbons here. They're not big, so three is about right.

Half a packet is about right Smile

3 (or 5 if we're talking Maryland Chocolate Chip) is the correct answer.

2 is just nonononono. It is not aesthetically pleasing and only a philistine would take 2.

I'm not really a biscuit eater but I think 2 or 3 is probably a decent amount.

Bourbons? None is the current number. Chocolate Hobnobs? How many are in a packet?

I'm not a biscuit lover, so two is fine for me. Three would seem a bit much to me to be honest. Sorry OP Grin

Three is the right number.

3 is excessive... If we are talking packsGrin

I've been known to eat an entire pack in one sitting... It does depend on the biscuit though, I wouldn't eat an entire pack of digestives but I definitely would if it was Jaffa cakes, custard/bourbon creams and chocolate fingers!

2 seems sensible. But I don't usually stop at 2 Grin
Where I work (school), everyone has 1 at break time in the staffroom and I have to stop myself reaching for more.

It depends on the biscuit surely?

2x rich tea and other boring offerings

3x normal biscuits eg. bourbons/custard creams/ginger snaps

A few extra full packet of the good stuff like jaffa cakes/jammy dodgers Grin

Two is the proper number to accompany a hot beverage.

Three biscuits is debauchery and is only one or two steps away from swinging from the chandeliers with Bob from no.87. Be careful OP.

I can polish off a pack of Fox's Viennese easily.

3 is more than reasonable. Help yourself to another while he is distracted.
