Big bars of chocolate

[JoRobyn]

I remember when I was a child, big bars of chocolate were a birthday or Christmas treat. Now they're so easy and cheap to come by, I can easily eat one in one go. Anyone else, or am I a disgusting pig?! (Just had dairy milk with Dime.....would recommend!)

Really?

I get dehydrated. It's pretty salty so sweating may be related.

I could 100% eat a sharing bar of dairy milk. I try and restrain myself but mostly I just don’t buy them so I don’t have the opportunity!

I easily eat a whole "big" bar of chocolate in one sitting. Same with the big "party" bags of crisps... never bother with the small 25g bags!

Thank you, it always amazes me that people take such an obviously ridiculous statement seriously.

I could probably eat a whole bar over the course of an evening but then I would feel a bit sick and gross afterwards.

I find it better for my willpower to break off a row or two (roughly the size of an individual bar) and put the rest back in the fridge. Fridge chocolate takes longer to chew through than room temp chocolate!

Chocolate has to be kept in the freezer else doesn't take very nice😀😀

My husband keeps it in the freezer but he's a lunatic

I don't like cadburys but I could (and sometimes do) polish off a big bar of milka or galaxy no issues! Or Green and Black if I'm feeling fancy but tbh their big bars aren't that big anyway.

Thank you, it always amazes me that people take such an obviously ridiculous statement seriously.

To be fair @GalileoHumpkins it would not be a surprise to find a group on mnetters who seriously think and act like that.

I only smell a chocolate bar twice a year, any more than that shows no self control! It's always good quality artisanal chocolate as well, no palm oil here

Depends on how much sugar I am eating. When I eat a lot, especially whole, even if the very large, bars are fair game

When I completely avoid sugar and beige starches generally, there are a few days that I can only describe as withdrawal when all I can think of is eating sugar, then I go back to normal, having lost any craving for sugar and genuinely enjoy a square of bitter dark chocolate.

Choices. It's all about choices and how I will feel after I've eaten <whatever>

They aren't that big. I easily get through one in one go.

Get out

Sent too soon. Get out of here😁 one square a day indeed.

Once a fortnight I have a big bar of the nice Lidl chocolate in one go. Any more often than that and I end up eating it every day, it's a slippery slope.

Are you talking about a novelty sized one like Woolworths used to do at Christmas along with the foot long Jaffa cakes or just a standard sharing bar?

Oh give over😂😂😂

I bet you weigh out your lettuce don't you

Yeah right...

Gobble gobble for me 🦃

People like you who eat more than a single microgram of dark chocolate every ten years is why we have so much obesity in this country.

😁

I think they may be a troll!

It worked because i am aghast!!!

There is a woman on TikTok Sammie Head who goes on about how annoying her DH and children are and the amount of people who don't get it is hilarious.

Actually one square of very dark chocolate is fine for me.

But a whole pizza in one sitting, oh yes, easily done. I just don't have a sweet tooth. You can still be a greedy knacker who loves cheese !

I think....I might be wrong but the smaller 100g bars didn't exist (or were less common) and you used to only have the 200g (or 250g maybe) to buy.

The lack of a "medium" size one and the price difference I think made them seem more like a treat than a snack.

When a 40g bar of Dairy milk is at least 70/80p (not that I've looked recently), and the 100g bar is on offer for £1 then well...Similarly when you can buy one for 70p but a multipack is £1.50.

But when it was 40/50p maybe for a "normal" bar, and £2/3 for the next size up, of course it felt more like a treat.
