I have just realised that between 11.30pm last night and 8.30am this morning, I consumed no fewer than five (yes, FIVE!) Snickers bars!

So, AIBU to be eyeing up my sixth Snickers bar?

YABU, Snickers are Vile. Now Twirls, or Flakes, I can understand!

bluesheep · 20/01/2010 08:41

YANBU.

Can I have one? I'm starving!

LaurieFairyCake · 20/01/2010 08:42

why were you up all night?

or are you eating them in your sleep?

maybe you were hungry/pregnant/greedy/couldn't be arsed making some proper food

Umami · 20/01/2010 08:54

YABU, I was up at 4.30am and you didn't offer me one. You caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 20/01/2010 08:56

YABU

Snickers are the work of the devil.

Now Double Deckers on the other hand...

Asana · 20/01/2010 08:57

No, wasn't really hungry. Definitely not pregnant. However, I am obviously very greedy!

Would have offered it to you, bluesheep, but I think I may end up sobbing buckets of tears at the loss of my last one

Have put the bar in a kitchen drawer. I figure if I can't see it, it doesn't exist. Now, just need to make sure I don't start making excuses to vist the kitchen excessively ...

Yes, I think YABU. Why do you need to eat between 11.30 and 8.30? Are you working a night shift? You are being terribly unhealthy. Still, your body and all that....

I've eaten 3 chocolate oranges in 3 days if it makes you feel better?

littlemoominmamma · 20/01/2010 09:05

Were they snack size or full size? Need to know what I'm baseing my decision on.

GoldenSnitch · 20/01/2010 09:20

This'll put you off the 6th one... Snickers are 313 calories each so 5 bars is 1565 calories - in 9 hours!!

Whilst obviously super unhealthy, provided you only eat soup today then you should not put any weight on.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 20/01/2010 09:56

YANBU. So far today I've had toast with butter and marmite, half a packet of instant rissott and two brance classic. We'd run out of cornflakes.

differentID · 20/01/2010 10:06

YABU, in that snickers are foul disgusting objects.

Flakes, dairy milk caramel I could undersand or twix or mars bars, but snickers? they're as horrid as Bounty bars!

TheRomanceOfItAll · 20/01/2010 10:08

God, I can't have bounty bars in the house. If i have one I have to have more and then usually all.

lucyellensmumagain · 20/01/2010 10:19

i can only manage either a mars or snickers, just about manage ONE, and im fattybangbang!

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 20/01/2010 10:20

YABU if it's something you do regularly - that's a whole day's calories and far more than a day's fat between the hours of bedtime and breakfast!

As a one off though just chalk it up to experience. If I'd spent the night eating chocolate though i think I'd be trying to avoid it for a few days

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 20/01/2010 10:21

Fuck me, just looked at your profile - eat as much snickers as you want - you're bloody gorgeous

Sure you're not pg again?

Bobbiewickham · 20/01/2010 10:23

How have you not puked?

I bow to your stamina and fortitude.

I was feeling guilty for eating seven Oreos...feel better now! Thanks!

Cobblers · 20/01/2010 10:24

YANBU. One girl's Snickers is another's toffee crisp.
I once ate a six pack of the aforementioned, it's the guilt afterwards I can't stand. My mate also owned up to eating a box of 24 bags of salt and vinegar crisps recently.

Bobbiewickham · 20/01/2010 10:25

Have just looked at your profile pic.

I think you'll get away with it

Bobbiewickham · 20/01/2010 10:26

24 packets of salt and vinegar???

Ultimate cat's bum mouth syndrome after that!

Umami · 20/01/2010 10:28
mistletoekisses · 20/01/2010 10:28

My only question is - how on earth do you eat 5 snickers bars in quick succession and look the way you do????

Kudos to you, I would feel sick after one snickers bar! I see no point in holding out for no. 6, go for it!

cumbria81 · 20/01/2010 10:30

I once ate an entire box of Belgian truffles in the course of one day. They were on my desk at work and I kept dipping into them and before I knew it they were gone! I felt so sick afterwards.
