      As much as buying and eating a whole chocolate cake is 100% a bad idea for your health, doing it once is unlikely to have any noticable impact beyond making sure you have horrible shits for a day or so.

      Doing it (or similar) habitually will obviously drastically increase your chances of heart attacks and other issues though of course.

      But if you want to reward your inner 8 year old every once in a while I say do it, too many people make themselves permanently unhappy with dieting. The (much easier said than done) trick is very well known, and it’s simple moderation.

        Tbh the less sugar I eat, the less I crave it. Even certain fruits can be almost unbearably sweet sometimes

        The dose makes the poison. Usually, this is interpreted as referring to an instantaneous dose, but it also applies to culmulatuve doses, which unhealthy eating is one of the most common examples of.

          I guess I associate it with weird old religious laws in the US that have been slowly, but not fully phased out over the years.

          Lots of places here can’t sell alcohol on Sundays before a certain time still.

            I mean, you over there have to conceal your booze in inconspicuous brown bags to carry it around.

        nah, they’re well known for being weird up north about sundays. when they tried it here, the country was united in hatred and a clear will to disregard the whole stupid idea.

        And many bakeries also are open for some hours on a Sunday. And the shops at a train station.

        Why would you buy a cake and not eat it? Unless it’s for someone else, but it’s said in this that it’s fir op.

    Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it’s possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.

        It’s amazing. The cookie dough doesn’t cook all the way, so it’s like chewy nuggets of cookie goodness.

      How much of a thing is using a cake mix? I bake often but just using simple ingredients that I buy separately, but cake mixes seem to be really popular, especially in the states. Is that true?

        I can, have and do bake cakes without the use of cake mixes. It’s not hard, and I normally have most of the ingredients on hand. But cake mixes are very popular, come in a wide variety of flavors/types, and, generally speaking, are pretty good. They’re also cheap. And they store well, and efficiently on the shelf or in a cabinet. So it’s just super convenient to have one on hand. It also takes like 30 seconds to make. Add water, oil, egg, mix.

        For people who arent super into baking they are a cheap, fun activity for an afternoon. Just add water and maybe some oil mix it with a spoon and bake it for the time stated on the box. No need to store or buy excess cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs and so on.

          Thanks for your reply. I can’t say I relate to be honest, I would always want a good amount of all of those ingredients in stock. I can’t really see how mixing powder with water for 2 minutes constitutes an activity for a whole afternoon either.

            Because there is still baking it and decorating it to be done… I dunno if you are just eating raw batter but like if you are I promise you try putting it in a hot box for some time and it is a whole different experience

    I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions

      Nah nah. This is all accurate. However the difference is, you buy it, you eat it, you enjoy the hell out of it.

      Then after dinner, you tell your kids they can have the rest for dessert. And since there’s one piece left, you have the last piece like a hoss. Then it’s gone within a days work, and you can pretend it never happens while the kids think it was the best day ever and it’s a win win situation.

      Yah, honestly to me “living your best life” might include not doing that to yourself so that you don’t suffer the consequences of obscene overconsumption.

      The subject is open to constant interpretation.

        A whole bag of Cheetos is still acceptable though. They put air where the calories are supposed to hide.

    As an “adult” I always remember that this is bad for my health and I have to stop me. Luckily I’m too lazy to get in my car just to buy a cake.

    Why would you need to buy a cake? Everything is a cake nowadays. Just stick your knife into something.

    And eat a whole supermarket rotisserie chicken on your car just after you bought it. Some call it depression, I call it freedom.

    I don’t even like cake that much, except Princess Cake.

    If you haven’t tried it, you should… It’s really nice.
