I scoff them with a Whiskey, I can get through a bag in two days. I feel proper sick and have a terrible nights sleep too, for what that’s worth.

They’ll do well to get to 5 minutes in my hands. Which is exactly why they’re never in my hands.

The treat packs are particularly evil….

I’ve just scoffed 4 Reese’s PBCs with a cup of coffee. I have all the self-control of a black lab. I only stopped at 4 because that’s all there were.

Other half bought me a 1kg bag of peanut M&Ms last year, they sat in the bottom of the beer fridge and lasted nearly two weeks.

I once ate a “Sharing” bag of Minstrels on a ferry to France. Felt awful for hours after but once you start……

Minstrels – I could eat a football full. Then be sick, but I could eat that many. Especially if they’d been in the fridge.

Combine them with a bag of wine gums for extra goodness and I could probably stretch them to five minutes.

My worst is Cadburys Fingers. Ate a whole bag before I’d taken a single sip of tea yesterday.

A man after my own heart. If there is anything even remotely sweet near me I’ll eat it all. I’m a Labrador in human form.

Found a treat bag of chocolate buttons in the cupboard the other day, the progression from one cheeky button to eating fist fulls of them is frightening

The £1 for 4 cadbury choccy bars is the worst. 1 quickly leads to all of them. Then a guilty hide of all the packet evidence.

I like the human Labrador analogy. Wine gums, Minstrels, M&Ms…..

Those pillow case sized multipacks of crisps. 24 packs, in less than an hour. It’s a love hate relationship.

I’m sorry but 2 days is NOT scoffing!

Jaffa cakes for me. I’d be just about able to manage if they were individually wrapped, but tubes of 18, no chance.

In my mind it’s something about opening the packet. Whatever size packet it is is not important, the entire packet must be consumed in a oner.

I start off by eating them one by one, chewing the coating off and letting the choc melt in my mouth… but within about 3 minstrels it turns into the scene where the guy trudging through the desert for weeks finds an oasis, gasping for breath because he’s drinking so much.

I’ve never understood why Pringles have a resealable top.
