I think 7.

DD1 thinks she could easily do 12-15.

DD2 doesn't like them.

Would it be frightfully unreasonable to test this hypothesis?

jam or ring donuts?

I don't care what kind of donut they are - I could basically start eating and not stop till I popped Grin donuts bloody rock.

....starts dreaming of custard donuts and wondering if it's too late to pop to asda.....

Depends. Are they the tiny ring ones you get in boxes at tesco? Krispy Kremes? Filled? Ring? Just plain or with icing? I'm going to need some more information before I answer your question OP.

2 Krispy Kreme original glazed

I want one now!

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 25/06/2014 23:04

I reckon I could eat a fair few. not today but most days I reckon so.

thornrose · 25/06/2014 23:05

In order to test the hypotheses we need to know the type, size and filling of doughnut.

juneybean · 25/06/2014 23:05

Really depends on the doughnut...

motherofmonster · 25/06/2014 23:07

im pretty sure i could struggle my way through a krispy kreme share box Grin

But i can only eat two jam ones without licking my lips... i know as we did this last week

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 25/06/2014 23:07

never tried a krispy kreme.

TryingToFixThis · 25/06/2014 23:08

3

trixymalixy · 25/06/2014 23:09

I could manage about half of a Krispy Kreme before the nausea kicked in.

Jam and cream filled on the other hand about 4.

Pipbin · 25/06/2014 23:09

All of them. I could eat all the donuts.

WorraLiberty · 25/06/2014 23:10

Standard ring donuts, about 1 or 1 1/2 probably

motherofmonster · 25/06/2014 23:10

am i the only strange person that likes a custard filled one??

BIWI · 25/06/2014 23:10

None. I hate the feckers.

ChelsyHandy · 25/06/2014 23:11
  1. But if it was a proper competition, I could probably manage 8 or 9.
fatlazymummy · 25/06/2014 23:12

None. They are disgusting.

AtYourCervix · 25/06/2014 23:12

Ktispy kream are oily and nasty.

I'm thinkinhmg regular sizze jam. With proper sugar.

lettertoherms · 25/06/2014 23:13

How many could I? At least twelve, but not if they were filled, I can't manage a filled donut at the best of times.

I never have and never would eat a dozen donuts. But I know I have the capacity to binge to an insane degree, if I ever wanted. DP never believes me, when I tell him, "I could eat that entire pie/casserole/whatever," if I let myself, but I know I could. The only reason I eat so little is knowing it's the right amount to eat.

Youdontneedacriminallawyer · 25/06/2014 23:14

Anyone tried Pippin doughnuts?

TitsCrossed · 25/06/2014 23:14

All of the jam ones. Come to mumma.

But could you eat them without licking your lips? Bet not!

peggyundercrackers · 25/06/2014 23:15

When Krispy Kreme opened a shop nearby I went for do nuggets, a box of plain ones and a box of selection ones. Never having tried them I thought I would have one before I got home but they were good so had another and another and....9 donughts later I arrived at the house Blush. Never again though and in a fact we haven't been back there.

MrsCakesPremonition · 25/06/2014 23:16

Krispy Kreme - I'd probably have to stop after 2, they are very sweet.
Jam doughnuts - 5, then I start going off the jam.
Ring doughnuts - Quite a lot.
Freshly cooked ring doughnuts, warm from the van - You keep them coming and I'll keep eating them.

SinglePringle · 25/06/2014 23:30

Eek at the multiple donut eating! Dot know whether to be impressed or horrified!

Don't think I could do more than half a ring / jam donut and I hate Krispy Kremes.

But then I don't like any cake really.
