Eating an entire 500g tub of sweets

[DanglyThings]

Is that just weird? A man in his 50s, getting through a whole box of (really sickly) jelly sweets in one go? I had one sweet on Halloween night and couldn't even manage that, it was so sickly. The kids had a couple each and didn't go back to them, so they've been just left in the cupboard. Got up to find an empty box this morning, asked dh where he'd put them, thinking possibly he'd moved them to a different container... "I ate them," he said. What would you think? I mean, it's not the world's biggest problem, but I just think it's strange...

You couldn’t eat 1 sweet? I wish that was me.m

Even more unreasonable now I know it's the delicious cherries.

And dont get me started on the ridiculous comment that you couldnt possibly even have more than one because they are so sickly 😂😂😂 how superior you must be to us sweet eating plebs

I had one sweet on Halloween night and couldn't even manage that

I can imagine you also make a whole chicken last a week and make broth for the month out of the bones yes?

My thoughts exactly

You ate half a jelly cherry sweet? Yuck. I can’t even manage a whole actual cherry. I just peel the fruit away and lick the stone in the middle, I struggle to manage more than two licks!

Honestly, if I eat one sweet, I feel like I couldn't eat for the rest of the day. They make me feel ill. Even the smell of them. Maybe I've just got some kind of intolerance....

I don't think it's weird, I could definitely do this. I don't really like sweets but could imagine mindlessly eating them. Chocolates on the other hand I love and it's dangerous to buy them. Maybe it's so weird for you because you don't like them and could barely manage one.

I'd feel like shit after that many sweets but whatever floats his boat!

In fairness if you couldn't manage one sweet without coming over faint, you may just not be on the same page as him.

🙄

This is as good as the thread where one poster could only manage to eat 1/2 a salad.

Fair enough. Just don't assume your husband is greedy bastard 😜

My DH (57) could manage that easily.

He's a skinny bugger too. Bastard! 😂

500g is a lot of sweets, I doubt most could eat that many without feeling sick. But to not be able to eat 1 sweet? And your children only had 2? You’re all equally as weird as each other. 😝

"I had one on Halloween night and couldn't even manage to finish that" 😂

As long as it is not everyday.

To be fair, it was probably massive. 😉

So many teeny tiny posters.

You are on one today.

Obviously someone who doesn't enjoy sweets couldn't do that. If you enjoy them the you might manage.

easy peasy.

I have been known to do that 😳

You were probably too full from your massive salad.

Hahaha! I remember thread about "massive salad" and other annoying things people say at lunchtime. Does anyone remember the title? I also looooved thread about microwaved beans and eggs in the office for breakfast.

This is 500g.

I think I would feel a but sick after all that.

I really want some of those sweets now though.

Get off your high horse. Sounds like you are the weird one
