How many chocolate fingers do I eat??

Utterlybananas333 · 01/12/2022 21:25

Guys help me out here. I can't stop. I keep telling myself that three fingers at a time will be enough, so I'm continuously having to get up from watching the telly and walk a colossal ten feet to go back and get more, shall I just grab the whole bloody box this time? A point to add: they are the special edition white chocolate topped 'snowy' fingers.

The whole box. Maybe two boxes spread out across the day... some for breakfast, some with a morning cup of tea, some after lunch, some with an afternoon cup of tea, loads in the evening watching TV.

Update, ate three quarters of the box and reluctantly left the rest :'(. Also pledged to do 50 sit ups before bed. (In all fairness that will probably just burn half a finger..) horrifying thought just occurred to me though: do people actually go to the gym at Christmas???

I don't think I could eat a whole chocolate finger - I'd feel totally full up after half of one and would probably end up giving the rest of it to my husband!

You'd eat a half a finger, to yourself, in one day??

Have you considered seeing a dietician to talk about your food obsession?

Go do a 5k jog!

This has shocked me!

Do you mean half a box of chocolate fingers?
Or do you literally mean half of 1 finger, the finger that's only about 2 inches long?

Are you new to Mumsnet? Or just the food threads?

@AttilaTheUOkHun so you not understand sarcasm? 🙄

Conkersareback · 01/12/2022 21:54

*do

MilkyYay · 01/12/2022 21:55

A nibble of the chocolate off the end of one has me full for days....

Quoted the wrong person. No need to be arsey.

Love it! 🤣🤣

All of them every time.. I'm disgusting

Days? Not weeks?

Explain the need to eat chocolate between Christmas (advent calendar) and Easter (eggs)!

Gluttony

Conkersareback · 01/12/2022 21:56

@AttilaTheUOkHun didn't know you'd done that, I'm not telepathic!!!

FFS!

It would depend what else I'd eaten. If I hadn't had a meal, I might even be able to eat a whole finger. If I was really full, like if I'd had a massive salad for lunch, a nibble would be enough.

Don't fight - it was me who started it!

I bought a box of mint ones yesterday and ate the whole box in about 5 minutes.

Conkersareback · 01/12/2022 22:00

@Jourdain11 a whole finger is ridiculous, whatever the reason!

CourtneeLuv · 01/12/2022 22:00

All of them.

minou123 · 01/12/2022 22:01

Oops sorry just got the joke 😬

It's been a long day and I haven't had any chocolate fingers.

I think it was me - I wasn't funny enough for the joke to land properly!

I ate a whole Percy Pig today at work, too - although I did consider saving the ears for later.

MaggieFS · 01/12/2022 22:04

Keep going until the box is empty. The fact they aren't 100% chocolate means they can't be that bad.

It is a funny joke.
