AIBU to ask people to guess how many Danish Butter Biscuits I have just eaten?

These biscuits - danish butter biscuits/cookies. Fuck me they are like crack. Guess how many I have just eaten in one go? Closest one wins a prize (of a MN flower emoji Smile)

PS I have eaten the same amount of them each day for the last three days Blush

PPS if anyone says "this is why we have an obesity crisis" I will say fuck off Grin as I've lost a load of weight and my clothes don't fit and I have a weird hollow thing in my throat/neck which I dislike so I'm a bit sensitive about it Wink

PPPS Don't ever go to Costco

Damnit @onetothree Grin

None. You opened the tin to discover a sewing kit instead of biscuits.

SummerHouse · 29/09/2020 13:51

18 = five cake cases of three. Workings of my theory.

IWinAtBeingACookieMonster · 29/09/2020 13:52

I would love a sewing kit inside it. Almost as much as biscuits. If it Gutermann thread 38 in it, perhaps more than biscuits...

Sorry.....Six times three. Holy lord. Maths fail.

IWinAtBeingACookieMonster · 29/09/2020 13:53

Multiplying by cases of three is good work though. A good strategy.

I was just wondering what biscuits were doing in the sewing tin Shock

IWinAtBeingACookieMonster · 29/09/2020 13:53

Of course I noticed that glaring error I was just too polite to say Wink

I actually could eat that whole tin in 1 day. This is why we only buy biscuits at Christmas now.

IWinAtBeingACookieMonster · 29/09/2020 13:54

Wait, do people mean they use the tins as sewing kits? But there are no compartments in it. Doesn't everything get all mixed up together?

@Havaiana you mean you could eat the 1.8kg in a day? Respect.

DH actually bought these for me and said "I bet you can't leave these until Christmas but save some for me when you open it" (quite rude don't you think)

I was so tempted to take all the biscuits out and hide them in a different tin and leave a few crumbs and all the little paper cases for him to find when he opened it.

I note you haven't denied 18.

goose1964 · 29/09/2020 14:08

A whole tin

notthemum · 29/09/2020 14:10

In case anyone not off to Costco, they do these biscuits in the pound shop and in the 99p shop. I will even get out of the way when you are reaching for them as I can't stand the horrible little fuckers 🤮

Nenevalleysigns · 29/09/2020 14:12

I think the whole tin over the course of a day.

Keep a loo roll handy at all times Grin

@notthemum nooooooo! Are you sure? They have to be the Royal Dansk, I'm snobby like that Grin

(If I emptied the tin as a joke for DH now I've troughed through half of it he would think it was quite normal and probably order me another tin)

I ate an entire NY cheesecake once during an episode of poldark.

greenlynx · 29/09/2020 14:33

I’ve stopped buying them because they are so addictive! Also about 5 years ago DH’s colleague from Denmark was visiting and said that he never heard about them. Hmm It made me a little bit suspicious as I was keen to have truly authentic Danish experience.

I would have eaten the whole first layer.
