I've had three. I've gone up to bed so I don't eat the last 5 in the packet. Seriously. These things are like crack!

What's your "can't just eat three" food?

    I ate my first Jaffa cakes over Xmas. I understand why people eat the whole sleeve. :p

    Muffins are bad for me, especially when they're about to go off and I'm the only person in the house who will eat them.

    I must confess... I actually once sat and ate a double pack of Jaffa Cakes. And I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. Then I wondered how I managed to pile two stone on. Ha!

    French fries. I'm making them tonight in the oven and going to do my level best to only eat ONE serving. I lose all control around french fries.

    Why don't we have fun things like this in America :s Probably for the best that these are NOT readily accessible to me, ;)

    Nutella. I can't keep it at home or I'd eat the entire jar :)

    I had some Jaffa cakes last weekend at my nephew's birthday party. I think I managed to stop at 2.

    People actual argue over whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit. Seriously. We Brits are that bored that we argue over inane things.

    It's a cake for the record. Not a biscuit. Lol

    I could eat two boxes of Jaffa Cakes no problem. Eating just three of them is not an option.

    Anything small and savoury. Oreo cookies are the worst.

    Nachos. Chips and queso. Tortilla chips. Whatever constitutes a serving, I'm not sticking to it.

    Personally, I have a hard time walking away from these. So simple, yet soooo good.

    I'm going to have to look for those in the British section of my local commissary. Pretty much any baked good gets me, I will eat and eat and eat. And chips, love chips

    Cadburry eggs. I know most people say they're too sweet to eat more than a couple, but once I ate six in one sitting.

    For me, it's Takis... they're spicy (maybe hotter than hot cheetos with lime) but I can't stop eating them. I will DEVOUR a whole bag by myself.

    Pretty much any cookie. I am such a fan of cookies. I had to not even buy Girl Scout cookies this year, because I just knew I'd eat a whole box and be left wondering how to get more! LOL

    Ha, ha! That's so funny. My grandma used to keep sewing supplies in a tin like this. I remember being so excited to find cookies in the basement only to open the tin and see needles and thread. :D
