To think eating a whole tub of ice cream isn’t normal?

I don’t like the word normal but I couldn’t think of anything else.

Now I can have my piggy moments and binge.

We were talking about takeaways and a friend said she could easily and does eat an entire tub of ice cream with her dominos pizza.

Do other people do this?

Well I wouldn't be able to fit one in after a pizza but it can definitely be done on an empty stomach!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/03/2018 20:13

Yes. All 5 of us have our own tub on an ice cream night.

selftitledalbum · 02/03/2018 20:13

Neither is having a stick up your arse you know.

PurpleDaisies · 02/03/2018 20:13

I wouldn’t.

PorkFlute · 02/03/2018 20:14

One of the Ben and Jerry’s ones? I probably could but would feel a bit sick and maybe not after a pizza!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 02/03/2018 20:14

I can, no problem. Not saying I’d feel particularly excellent after but I can certainly do a pot of Ben and Jerrys

So can at least 5 of my friends...much of my early 20s was spent in bed at other friends houses eating ice cream...

ReinettePompadour · 02/03/2018 20:15

A tub of haagen dazs can indeed be eaten in 1 go. Not after pizza though Confused

McTufty · 02/03/2018 20:15

Easily!

Laiste · 02/03/2018 20:15

Not a whole tub after a pizza. Maybe half. And the other half next night.

On an empty stomach in the summer? Yep Grin

especially Cherry Garcia but they don't bloody sell it anymore

MumGoneMild · 02/03/2018 20:15

Depends. What flavour?

Enuffsenuffsenuff · 02/03/2018 20:15

Are we talking a Ben and Jerry's or a walls? If it's the former I could probably manage. My DH certainly could. I wouldn't worry about it, it's her life and she knows her own body.

RedRedDogsBeg · 02/03/2018 20:15

very easy!

BalthazarImpresario · 02/03/2018 20:16

Well no it isn't normal but she isn't doing it for each meal so does it matter if its normal or not?

Blinkyblink · 02/03/2018 20:16

No way. Makes me feel queasy to think about it tbh

Zapdos · 02/03/2018 20:16

A tub of Ben and Jerry's?! DH and I would share one over 3 days or so! I can't imagine eating a full tub to myself - and I have a very hearty appetite!!

smashyourglasses · 02/03/2018 20:17

Yep easily done.

Eolian · 02/03/2018 20:17

I'm pretty greedy and have a sweet tooth, but I would never eat a whole tub of ice cream in one go. I'd have had enough after half and feel sick if I carried on!

hotcrossbunsandtea · 02/03/2018 20:17

Easily done! I couldn't do it regularly but I certainly could manage it over the course of an evening.

Unihorn · 02/03/2018 20:18

I thought it was standard for Ben and Jerry's...

Fuckoffee · 02/03/2018 20:19

Haagen Dazs cookies and cream no problemo.
I wouldn’t eat the pizza though, I’d save the room for ice cream.

DalekDalekDalek · 02/03/2018 20:19

Yep, done it. Wouldn't do it every night though.

You sound a bit judgy OP. I don't understand how anyone can eat olives (yuck) but I don't come on here asking if people who do are "normal".

CountFosco · 02/03/2018 20:19

Don't you know we have a separate stonach for icecream? I don't now but regularly ate the best part of a large tub of Haagen Daz when I was younger. Bliss.

BeesAndChiscuits · 02/03/2018 20:19

A tub of Haagen Dazs cookies and cream contains 1080 calories, 83g sugar and 43g saturated fat. Normalising this sort of binge eating is why we have so many overweight and obese people in this country.

I’m no saint when it comes to eating AT ALL but there’s no way that I could eat a whole tub of Ben and Jerry’s in one go.
