I’ve put on three stone. It can’t be because I was unintentionally eating biscuits?!

I appear to have put on three stone. But it can’t be anything to do with my actions because I only unintentionally ate the biscuits and therefore it doesn’t matter.

Anyone else done anything unintentionally??

But since the scales didn’t give you feedback immediately, how could you be expected to realise? It’s not like the excessive eating of biscuits is commonly seen as not a good idea, or like you could be trusted to regulate your own behaviour or anything.

I unintentionally ate three whole chocolate oranges this week.
And a multipack of kitkats.
And two baguettes of garlic bread.
Ooops.

Now I come to think about it, Something Should Be Done about all this unintentional eating. What is being done to prevent it from happening? These food companies need to be made accountable...

I ate some chocolate but in a limited and specific way.

My jeans are now tight.

The two can’t have any correlation surely

Well obviously everyone knows if you have chocolate lying around the house, it sneaks into your wardrobe in the middle of the night and shrinks your clothes. But I'm sure this is unintentional so the chocolate isnt really responsible for its actions. But it is genuinely sorry if anyone was offended by its behaviour no that I would know as chocolate never lies around my house for long

I was driving to the park to go for a jog (as you do) and the flipping sat nav took me to the chip shop where I've unintentionally ordered fish and chips with mushy peas. Looks like a bottle of white wine has found its way into my bag from the Co-Op next door. Obviously need a new Sat Nav.

Isn’t it anti-biscuits week this week? What kind of a message is this sending?

Dishwashersaurous · 20/11/2020 20:05

Oh yes I forgot it’s anti biscuits week this week. Every day the kids have come home and explained that they mustn’t eat biscuits, even if they think that the biscuits like being eaten.

And if they see someone else eating a biscuit they must tell the teacher straight away

Since last autumn, I've gone from a 8-12.
I know people will roll their eyes, but like you op, I'm wondering where it's all come from Sad. It's so depressing. I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes.

I know, those of us who identify as Jaffa cakes are going to start a Twitter campaign, all we need now is some patsy to tweet that Jaffa cakes aren’t biscuits they are cakes. Then we will crumb them.

My biscuit pronoun is MINE!

If you don't intentionally eat biscuits (they just sort of end up being eaten by accident) then it's not your fault and you have to be forgiven and everyone should love you because you didn't want to eat them at all. Makes perfect senseGrin

viques are you trying to bully me into agreein that Jaffa Cakes are biscuits?

They’re CAKES - when they stale they go HARD.

Do you identify as a Jaffa cake? No I thought not. How can you possibly understand my feelings, and the feelings of all of us Jaffa cake biscuits. I have known I was a Jaffa cake biscuit since I was four. The discrimination and abuse us members of the JCB community have had from JCCR ( Jaffa cake cake radicals) is heartbreaking. Some days I hardly have the energy to open a packet.

Viques - sssshhh, you’re going to attract the VAT man, and that’s never a good thing.

StealthPolarBear · 20/11/2020 21:12

Do you have resting biscuit face

Dishwashersaurous · 20/11/2020 21:17

Ah we’ve also solved the’how to fund everything challenge’: vat on cake!

Jaffa cake official ruling

www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-food/vfood6260

With a useful bit at the end noting that the tribunal came to the opposite conclusion re. Chocolate Dundees.
