TheNativityDonkey · 23/12/2018 22:02

It's easily done.. ive had to lock away the orange ones.

YANBU. Me and DM ate an entire box of chocolate fingers on Friday with the attitude of "fuck it, it's Christmas, we deserve it" Grin

No. Have another.

frankiegoestobirmingham · 23/12/2018 22:04

Yesterday I ate a whole box of after eights....I was then sick.. which I put down to pregnancy but is probably more likely due to being a glutton.

Santaisonthesherry · 23/12/2018 22:04

Since I started the Xmas food shopping in November I have eaten 4 boxes.
To myself.
All orange!!

YANBU. Ds & I chomped our way through an entire box of Guilian seashells that were intended as a gift for my aunt today. Will have to go out and replace them tomorrow Xmas Blush

Do they do a salted caramel one now.
I think I ate a whole box of that last year .....,
Might have been something else, but definitely ate the whole box.

YANBU

Light weight! I’ve just finished eating a family sized (150g) of Black truffle & olive oil hand cooked chips, washed down with Baileys almond drink. Hic Hic 🥴

InDubiousBattle · 23/12/2018 22:08

Me too, orange ones. I've got a box of mint and salted caramel ones too. I'm watching the Father Ted Christmas special and seriously thinking of opening another box.

PositivelyPERF · 23/12/2018 22:09

Crisps, not chips.

The orange ones..I feel a bit sick now.

Mind you I've just got back from a Christmas drinks party and I've eaten a load of cheese and biscuits, drunk a lot of wine and cracked into the duck selection nibbles that we bought for Christmas Eve.

Watching National Lampoons' Christmas Vacation now...burp..

YABU - the only matchmakers worth eating are the mint ones. The orange and particularly the salted caramel ones are gross

Cherrypi · 23/12/2018 22:12

The gingerbread ones are great. They were meant to go to the beaver leader but we didn’t see them.

YANBU. I did a whole box of mint ones.

AGHHHH · 23/12/2018 22:15

Yabu. Orange and mint chocolate is disgusting.

The salted caramel and gingerbread ones are nice.

I've just eaten an entire trifle.

Squeakyheart · 23/12/2018 22:15

I've done a box of salted caramel ones. They just smell divine and it is Christmas

Ontheboardwalk · 23/12/2018 22:18

Ah I forgot to get some matchmakers! Might have to brave the crowds tomorrow just to get some

KittensAndChristmasCake · 23/12/2018 22:18

YABU matchmakers are horrible now, all sticky and yuk I still eat them though

EndoplasmicReticulum · 23/12/2018 22:19

The matchmakers boxes are really small. A whole one would not be unreasonable.

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 23/12/2018 22:19

The salted caramel ones are nice, we're on our third box.

The gingerbread ones weren't great.

KC225 · 23/12/2018 22:21

The box contains barely the size of a matchbox these days. I remember the long boxes and you could deep for ages in one compartment
