Kit Kats, Bounties, Milky way, Club, Boost,
First I nibble all the chocolate from the edges. Then (if applicable- kit kat, boost, twix) I eat the remainder layer by layer. Finally, I lick my figers.Grin
a) Is it disgusting and b) even if it is, AIBU?!

yes it's fucking rank

Whitecurrants · 10/09/2017 22:32

How else would you do it? Also works with Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups, Jaffa Cakes and Fry’s Turkish Delight

Best this way, you are savouring each bit not just gobbling it and mixing up flavours and textures. YANBU

A.

You are an animal and should never be allowed to eat in public!

Passmethecrisps · 10/09/2017 22:37

Entirely reasonable behaviour. I am dairy free at the moment so eating chocolate in any way is entirely fine.

buttfacedmiscreant · 10/09/2017 22:38

completely reasonable if only because it stops hanger ons (hungry teens and DH) from asking "can I have some?"

Balaboosteh · 10/09/2017 22:40

Disgusting.

Timeforabiscuit · 10/09/2017 22:44

B) but i only eat alone at home Grin

SaucyJack · 10/09/2017 22:45

Gosh, no. YANBU at all.

I approach eating a chocolate bar in the manner of a pathologist doing an autopsy. I dissect it, layer by layer.

What sort of fucking savage do you have to be to just open up, and shove the bar in?

tissuesosoft · 10/09/2017 22:45

Saturnday- it's the only way to eat chocolate!

rightnowimpissed · 10/09/2017 22:46

Oh no this is irritating as fuck

BuzzKillington · 10/09/2017 22:46

Yes - it is disgusting.

Strictly a solitary pastime.

steff13 · 10/09/2017 22:48

You are not being unreasonable, except for licking your fingers. Gross.

DaviesMum · 10/09/2017 23:20

Gross. You sound like some cliched chick-lit writer's wet dream.

I like to eat Malteasers by nibbling all the chocolate off and then melting the malty ball on my tongue. Especially when the chocolate comes off in big chunks. If I bite into the centre it's game over and I have to eat it whole :(

@DaviesMum Now wondering whether IABU to be strangely flattered at the thought of being a chick-lit wet dream Grin
Maybe I need help..

Fiona- Oh yes I am with you there! My sister crunches Malteesers! The waste!!

@Fiona i do exactly the same - I get frustrated if the weather's warm enough that the chocolate's too melty so it doesn't come off properly!

YANBU OP this is a great way to eat treats - only on your own mind you... With Twixes I always like to eat all the chocolate, then try and get the toffee off the biscuit to eat it last...

ferrier · 11/09/2017 01:09

Never to be done in public.

ScarletForYa · 11/09/2017 01:15

That description of the mauling and finger licking knocked me sick.

YABU. You bite the ends off a twix and use it as a straw to drink your coffee through.

I once saw a man on the train bite across all four fingers of a kitkat in one bite. He didn't even separate them out! I gasped out loud and everyone looked at me like I was the crazy one!

DP munches chocolate, such a waste! The only chocolate you can munch is a toffee crisp.
