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?

I am greedy and with a sweet tooth. Could easily eat half packet but probably not all. I think it's pretty greedy tbh.

369thegoosedrankwine · 13/05/2016 23:11

No, 5 tops of the rich tea variety.

Ankleswingers · 13/05/2016 23:16

Mmm, yes Derek. Those orange digestives.Grin
And Jaffa cakes. I always do the whole moon, half moon, total eclipse thing when I eat them as well. All. The. Time.

Playduh · 13/05/2016 23:18

I could and would, so I don't buy them.

Kariana · 13/05/2016 23:20

No, no and no.

I'd feel very ill if I had more than three, maybe four at a push depending on the type.

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 13/05/2016 23:20

No, I've never eaten a whole pack of biscuits. I'm a greedy bugger and I could happily eat 3 slices of cake or a whole sharing bag of crisps & dip, but for some reason 2-3 biscuits is enough. I don't get the urge to eat a whole pack of biscuits, I'd be bored with the same flavour/texture.

DramaAlpaca · 13/05/2016 23:20

No, never. I don't have a sweet tooth & I don't like biscuits much.

AerithEarling · 13/05/2016 23:21

not usual biscuits but I did just eat a whole packet of choco fingers

AndNowItsSeven · 13/05/2016 23:23

No.

dottyaboutstripes · 13/05/2016 23:25

I used to - that's why I was size 20. I don't now and am size 10!
That's not to say I haven't tried/been tempted lately - I just can't manage the same kind of gob stuffing I used to as it makes me feel ill.

camelfinger · 13/05/2016 23:25

Yes. Jaffa cakes easily. I have polished off two packs of luxury chocolate chip cookies a few times - the ones where you get about 8 on their side. I am ashamed of this though and therefore try not to buy biscuits. I have a silly thought process where I decide to eat the lot, even if I'm no longer enjoying it, to destroy the evidence. Biscuits in the cupboard just bug me and I have to eat them. It's really annoying and I wish I was normal but I'm accepting it by trying not to buy them. It means I tend not to have stuff to offer guests though unless it's preplanned.

PinguForPresident · 13/05/2016 23:27

A whole packet of choc chip cookes - yes, no bother. A whole packet of malted milk - yes if dunked. A whole packet of jaffa Cakes - obvs! I don't think I could manage a whole pack of anything else. But I'd give it a go.

I'm slim, BTW. If I do pig out on biscuits, I;ll cut calories elsewhere to make up for it.

SternlyVoice · 13/05/2016 23:36

No, not now but in the past, I have eaten whole packets of biscuits like jammy dodgers, cream and jam sandwich biscuits in one sitting. I start out by having 1 or 2, then another couple, and then "oh, I better finish the pack and let on we never had them in the house in the first place". I find it much easier not to start than to start and then stop.

At the moment, I'm trying to cut down on sugar and am honestly not missing it. It's been 3 weeks and want to lose some weight.

AverysillyoldHector · 13/05/2016 23:41

No, no and no.

BackforGood · 13/05/2016 23:45

No
No and
No

(unless it's one of those packs of 3 you get at Conferences / Training courses, but, tbh, the 3rd one is usually a bit much.)

NoCakeLeft · 13/05/2016 23:48

Nope. And I'm obese.

Pigeonpost · 13/05/2016 23:52

Nope.

EssentialHummus · 13/05/2016 23:53

Only cherry bakewells, but Google thinks that's a cake anyway.

Large bag of kettle crisps? Pizza? Enormous Burger King meal? No problem.

emotionsecho · 13/05/2016 23:55

No to all three questions.

EleanorofProvence · 13/05/2016 23:55

Yes, yes & yes. It makes me feel twitchy if I know there is an unfinished pack in the cupboard. This is why I very rarely buy them :-D

(I appear to be the human equivalent of a Labrador...)

magicboy79 · 13/05/2016 23:58

Many moons ago as a teenager I remember eating a full pack of Jaffa cakes and being so proud of myself as I'd never done it before....and never have since!!! I have 2 biscuits max normally, but I'm on a health eating kick as of yday so no biscuits at all for me Confused

OutToGetYou · 14/05/2016 00:00

Nope, none of the above.

IfOnlyIKnewThen · 14/05/2016 06:58

No, yes and absolutely. Hang on a minute does one sitting mean one day or does it mean you open a pack and then literally don't put it down until its finished? I could definitely finish a pack of my favourites in a day, but always end up sharing them with my dh.

ForalltheSaints · 14/05/2016 07:38

Only Jaffa Cakes if I buy them.

whatdoIget · 14/05/2016 07:41

Only when I've been bingeing uncontrollably. I don't tend to do that nowadays, thankfully. I could still easily do it but I wouldn't like to.
