He says it is common, and lots of people eat a full packet at once.

Do you, or could you, or would you like to?

Oh yes. Never a shred of guilt, either.

Jaimx86 · 13/05/2016 19:50

WTF? No! Does anyone do that?

SharingMichelle · 13/05/2016 19:50

I'm fat and greedy but i have never eaten a whole packet of biscuits in one go.

BolshierAryaStark · 13/05/2016 19:50

Depends which particular packet of biscuits we're talking about, Aldi fruit & nut half coated cookies? Of course, what a ridiculous question. Boring things like custard creams, errrrm no.

1000cal!!
I find it odd that I can eat 1000cal of biscuits in one sitting and not put on any weight.

Kummerspeck · 13/05/2016 19:51

I have done and know, from conversations we have had, a lot of my friends have too.
I try not too though

ThinkPinkStink · 13/05/2016 19:51

No, no, yes... I can nom half a pack of chocolate digestives wig no trouble though.

Nicnak2223 · 13/05/2016 19:51

I now want a packet of biscuits, however I am home alone with the baby for the weekend so I think I deserve them!

I could but I try not too..

off to find biscuits/chocolate

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es · 13/05/2016 19:51

No, I'm not all that bothered about biscuits and rarely eat them at all. And if I do two is more than enough, then I'm all sweeted out.

Bubbinsmakesthree · 13/05/2016 19:51

4-5 biscuits, but no more - not willpower, just wouldn't want more.

houseeveryweekend · 13/05/2016 19:51

Yes. If I buy biscuits I eat the whole pack in one sitting. So I very rarely buy biscuits! even if its a heavy biscuit like a hobnob I will still eat the whole pack. I know this is bad though so as I said I don't keep biscuits in the house I only buy them on v special occasions like Christmas or a birthday. x

Dbsparkles · 13/05/2016 19:51

No, no and no

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 13/05/2016 19:52

No, no and no.

I can eat a lot, but I'm not very fond of biscuits and I've never wanted to eat more than one or two. Or four Jaffa cakes.

Yes I have many times, no shame at all in doing so.
And yes I would like to right now as all we have in the fridge is a few squished grapes

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 13/05/2016 19:53

Yes. Cookies or chocolate fingers, or jaffa cakes.only occasionally though

dowhatnow · 13/05/2016 19:54

Yes Blush unfortunately.

twirlypoo · 13/05/2016 19:55

I don't know if I want to be friends with someone who left alone with a packet of Jaffa cakes wouldn't demolish the lot. That's just wrong!

LemonRedwood · 13/05/2016 19:55

Tuc cheese sandwich biscuits, yes. Maybe about twice a year when I'm in the mad grip of sodium cravings.

Ticktacktock · 13/05/2016 19:56

Whoops sorry. He, is dh. I deleted some of my original post where it said dh and forgot to put it back in!

I can eat a couple of biscuits and that's it. He can eat a whole packet, and so can his mother. He says its me that's in the minority and its normal to eat a whole packet.

So I wondered if he was right. I'm not judging, peoples answers are fascinating.

No, yes, no.

I could manage it, but I would feel really full and sluggish after!

bilule · 13/05/2016 19:56

No.

oldjacksscrote · 13/05/2016 19:57

I with a cup of tea then yes, quite easily. I wouldn't say it was normal though.
Once in a counselling session the therapist asked me what I had eaten the day before, I'd had a whole pack of Maryland cookies for breakfast, she then asked if I made myself sick after. She thought I was binge eating and purging, when in fact I was just very greedy. Blush
