To have bougth my obese niece a chcolate fountiain for Christmas?

[LynetteScavo]

It was only £10 in Currys.

Surely it is up to her how she uses it. She could make a low fat yoghurt based chocolate sauce and dip fruit in it.

haha

Did you dangle it from the end of a treadmill?

Don't see what the problem is? Are obese people forbidden to eat chocolate then?

Nope, not being unreasonable at all

i'm a fatty, I'd have liked one

Depends whether or not she likes chocolate.

Oh, she likes chocolate very much...which is why I bought it.

Only 10 quid in Curry's?!

I'm sooo there.

I've been wanting a chocolate fountain for donks. I really have.

I'm not obese, though.

Not unreasonable at all - up to her to use it responsibly.

But bleurgh at the thought of a chocolate fountain though, I always loved the idea until I read somewhere that in order for the chocolate to stay liquid so it can run through the fountain copious amounts of vegetable oil are used - and the ratio of oil to chocolate is quite scary and not in favour of the chocolate apparently... [shudder]

Doesn't he realise that those are made for crazy cat ^ladies, a group from which you are automatically excluded by not being a spinster (or someone's 'maiden aunt')?

Well if she's obese and not just a little plump then yes YABU.

Sorry, wrong thread.

If she's actively trying to lose weight then it's not the kindest present in the world.

Chocolate fountains only ever get used once anyway, they're a bugger to clean and require too much chocolate. Much better just to eat the chocolate.

You can save up and get her a gastric band for her 21st
