AIBU to pretend that I didn't eat half a tub of Phish Food?

I came home early from work today and DP and me to get ice cream for dessert.

I settled on phish food. Got home and it was slightly melted and I thought I'd have just one little spoonful before putting it back in the freezer. I scooped up a runny bit, then another bit, then I wanted to catch a fish for some crunch, so had to dig a bit to get to that.

Next thing I know, I've eaten half of the tub and given myself brain freeze

WIBU to go back to the shop and buy a second tub and pretend that all this didn't happen?

Finish the tub and then go back for more.

Isn't that the point of B&J? Smile

Perfectly acceptable - you'll have to finish the first tub to destroy the evidence first though. Wink

RedFin · 28/09/2018 17:06

I had my mind made up from the title - you've got to finish tub one, ditch the empty container and buy a replacement tub. Say nothing to DH

Gosh you're right. I'm not thinking straight with this brain freeze.

Definitely get rid of the evidence and enjoy 😁
definitely not heading to morrisons now for b&j

Half a tub? Amateur.

Mari50 · 28/09/2018 17:41

I admire your restraint. I usually find myself 2/3rds in and then think, ah fuck it, in for a penny.
Not something I do too often now as my metabolism isn’t as forgiving as it used to be. In fact only last night I resisted buying some Ben &Jerry’s because I acknowledged to myself i’d eat it all in one or two sittings.

Hide the half a tub left in something boring ... say a bag of frozen broccoli florets... then go out and buy another tub or text him and say you didn't get a chance to pop out/you forgot so could he pick some up on his way.

I have never bought two cream cakes to share with DH, eaten them both then thrown the packaging outside in the big bin so he wouldn't find out... more than once

Half a tub plus half a bottle of wine every Friday here.

JuneFromBethesda · 28/09/2018 17:54

I concur with everyone else.

Papergirl1968 · 28/09/2018 17:55

Ohhh, I love phish food. Definitely not unreasonable!

PaintingOwls · 28/09/2018 17:55

I hid the tub and bought cookie dough b&j instead... I don't think I have space left for dinner. Post for me.

Tbh eating just half a tub is wrong -
Ben and jerries was made to eat in one sitting! Finish said tub and buy another for dessert...

PaintingOwls · 28/09/2018 18:02

Finish said tub

DP due back any minute now! Too risky. I may slink off to finish it tonight once he's in the shower...

Now I want ice-cream... < pulls petulant face >

Slatternsdelight · 28/09/2018 19:19

Presumably he never knew about the ice cream in the first place? So just stash it to eat at a later date! You're happy, he's none the wiser, and remember to shove the empty tub to the bottom of the recycling

Also, your choice of flavour is questionable but I'll let that go....

PawneeParksDept · 28/09/2018 19:52

@abbsisspartacus the "phish" are hard chocolate fish shaped pieces woven into the ice cream
