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?

No I hardly ever eat biscuits, not got a sweet tooth at all. I can eat loads of cheese though!

TiggyD · 14/05/2016 08:11

No, Yes, Yes.

Not biscuits, but I have been known to down a tube of Pringles in one bout.

SideOrderofChip · 14/05/2016 08:12

Yep easily

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 14/05/2016 08:22

I could easily eat a whole packet of Garibaldis or fig rolls, and have done. But this is why I only buy them about once a year.

AliceScarlett · 14/05/2016 08:23

Never, I'd feel too sick and guilty.

Capricorn76 · 14/05/2016 08:25

Nope. I've never heard of anyone eating a whole pack of biscuits unless it's a mini-pack or jaffacakes.

Capricorn76 · 14/05/2016 08:26

Sounds like the fast track to type 2 Diabetes to me.

whattheseithakasmean · 14/05/2016 08:26

No, in fact I seldom eat biscuits at all. I am quite a restrained healthy eater in general (kind of essential if you want to be slim in your late 40s) and don't have biscuits in the house. If I have some in for visitors, I would only eat one. I can't image eating a whole packet - I don't like the feeling of overeating anything but especially not shop bought biscuits.

Lemonade1 · 14/05/2016 08:30

Not RTFT.

Could do this easily and did as a teenager. But wouldn't and don't do it.

I do have a slightly bingey mentality and can easily drink a bottle of wine in one sitting though, so...

I'm not overweight and am pretty healthy.

RickJames · 14/05/2016 08:32

No, I'd be sick. I can't handle a lot of sugar at once. My cousin had bulimia and she told me that it made her feel sick too but that it was worth it for the binging. She's thankfully much better now. I think unless the person is doing crazy amounts of sport or manual work, eating a packet of biscuits is a bit disordered. I hope the OPs biscuit binger is okay.

Blu · 14/05/2016 09:30

No.
But I could easily eat a 500ml tub of ice cream in one go

ADiamondInTheRough · 14/05/2016 09:36

Yes! I do.

TriJo · 14/05/2016 09:37

Couldn't eat a whole packet - 4-5 at most would be my limit.

Roomba · 14/05/2016 10:06

No. I can eat several more than I should do but not a whole packet!

An entire block of cheese on the other hand...

Excited101 · 14/05/2016 10:18

It's why I don't tend to buy packets of biscuits and it's a mistake if I do.

Its fox's Viennese fingers that get me, not too many in the packet but they're sandwich biscuits so it's like double the amount!

Lethal I tell you!

MsHoneyBee · 14/05/2016 10:24

Yes. Is why I don't buy myself biscuits Grin

Trills · 14/05/2016 10:27

No, never.

Not because of restraint, but because I would stop feeling like I wanted another biscuit before it got to that point.

loosechange · 14/05/2016 10:32

No, no and no. Half a packet, depending on the biscuits.

And entire balll of Mozzarella, yes, yes, yes.
Repeat for bag of Percy Pigs, although it makes me feel sick when I have finished, so I have only done it a few times. But they taste sooo good I find it hard to not just have one more, until there are only two left, when I might as well finish them. Blush

ProseccoPoppy · 14/05/2016 10:39

I can't/don't want to though I can eat about 8 Jaffa cakes in one go which is most of a packet. Jaffa cakes don't count though because they are legally cake not biscuits. But DH most definitely does. Every. Sodding. Time. But he knows he's a greedy pig for doing that so we now very rarely buy biscuits.

DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel · 14/05/2016 10:39

And Jaffa cakes. I always do the whole moon, half moon, total eclipse thing when I eat them as well. All. The. Time.

Doesnt everybody? Grin

user1463153886 · 14/05/2016 10:41

Yes to all three!! (Oink oink!)

Tiopyn · 14/05/2016 10:47

Depends on the type - could definitely eat a whole pack of cookies, jaffa cakes, fingers etc. Ooh, and Toffypops!
But don't think I could manage a whole pack of digestives in one go.

iseenodust · 14/05/2016 10:51

Another one who has done with Jaffa cakes but it's not a regular occurence.
