How long is a reasonable time to....

PS Meant to say my post above is on behalf of a friend, of course.

Ah mini eggs have been introduced to the conversation a whole new ball game. As I haven't been to a shop I haven't see any yet but I have to go to the dentists on Monday which is near Waitrose so I will see if my friend would like some and make sure I get plenty in case she offers me some.

To make matters worse, I found a bag of Cadbury's chocolate orange, giant buttons. I let the DGC try one each, (childcare bubble), then they didn't last very long at all!

I have to eat two at a time,so they dont last long.

About 5 minutes?

Luckily....I hate chocolate . Having said that....it only takes an hour to devour a whole tube of Smokey Bacon Pringles!!

An evening shared with my DH .

Too busy eating all sorts of choccies to time how long it takes.

Indefinitely for me! (Like only dark chocolate).

My friend buys chocolates and likes to store them in a safe place which no one else knows about but then has to keep checking on them during the day to make sure they are still there. Every time she checks there seems to be at least 1 less and eventually - by the end of day 2 - they seem to have all disappeared. She has no idea what happens to them.

BigBertha1, five minutes, preferably with a nice cup of tea - as per usual, I'd say!

Joesoap, flat sides together, of course!

Can you explain about being able to eat white chocolate without it interfering with sleep, Disco Dancer please?
I suffer with very bad acid reflux so eat 2 Ferrero Rochers (probably wrong spelling) as my treat at lunch time!

I don't much like milk or white chocolate, so not keen on Buttons. A packet of jelly babies or mini eggs, however, as soon as they are opened last about 15 minutes!

What a brilliant grandparent you've saved your GC trips to the dentist!!

For me they don't even make it back to the house. I have been known to eat them in the car and still look for them in my shopping when I get home

I don’t understand why they use resealable bags, once opened they have to eaten pronto. It’s the lawn in this house and sharing is also not an option when it comes to buttons or any other choccie for that matter.

Now the whole of England is under 'tier 5' stricter conditions apply. Tell 'your friend' that its very important to eat all the contents of the bag as soon as possible (don't know what the rules are for lower tiers - we'll probably never find out). Current rules mean you can't share surely (such a pity!!!!)

I try to make them last 2 days, but I sit and eat away, watching TV or reading, and when I decide to put the rest away for the following day I realise there's only 3 left in the packet, so then think it's silly not to finish them all then in the one sitting.

I had some stollen bites at Christmas Alioop and did the same thing, I'm trying not to think about the number of calories

BigBertha1 I'm currently researching the time it takes to consume a box of Celebrations. However I haven't taken the Covid restrictions into consideration. I may have to start again!

Oh well once we've polished off all the Christmas chocs, now we're in lockdown, its 'essential shopping' only isn't it? Good job we're not getting our bags checked on the way out of the shops currently!

Same as a packet of crisps, once opened impossible to stop.

I have to say that anything Cadbury’s, with the exception of their dark milk range is easily ignored in this house.

As a diabetic, I would eat them all at once so my blood sugars had one peak and then I could get back on track. After all, if I spread it over a few days, I'll be having high blood sugars for much longer. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
