Biscuits, just leave them with me, I'll take good care of them.

Garibaldi were the real dead fly biscuits for me. Those are just the biscuits I get for donating blood!

I buy Nairn's oat biscuits: dark chocolate, ginger or mixed berries. They're separated into packets, 5 biscuits to a pack, 4 packs to a box. I can't work out if this is to force me to eat 5 at a time, or stop me eating more than 5 at a time.

I don't keep count. That way I don't have to lie when i'm asked if i've eaten all the biscuits.

There are 2 normals for me, none or all of them. I can't have 1 or 2, if the packet is open they will all go, maybe not straight away but within an hour.

This is why there are never, ever biscuits in my house, I just can't be trusted.

No, as Toby1 says Garibaldi are proper squashed fly biscuits.

I rarely eat biscuits but should I find a packet of fig rolls in my hand chances are I will eat them all. I may kid myself by only getting three or four out at a time but they will all go within sixty minutes.

Can I be different and say no biscuits at all, can't keep a body this good by eating empty calories*

*ok it's not that good but it would be a lot worse if I kept eating sugar packed food stuff.

+1 for the whole packet. The only solution that works is to avoid the biscuit aisle in the supermarket. Shopping online helps too.
And I'm obsessive about my health. No wonder we're all so fat if the whole packet has become normal behaviour 😯

Garibaldi are Squashed Fly Biscuits

Normally none.

BUT - a real guilty pleasure is a packet of Digestives. ( I know, disgusting right? ) Half dunked, the other half crunchy, normally half a packet whilst at the workshop - but as my workshop has now moved to home, I can't sneak off and buy a packet from the corner shop :((

What's wrong with me - I like garibaldis too 😉

I don't eat biscuits. In fact; I can't stand them. I don't like tea either. You could leave that packet next to me and I wouldn't even contemplate eating one.

As a result of this I often feel like a marginalised ethnic minority, living on the very fringes of society. Perhaps theres something wrong with me? 😳

I usually finish a proper pack of biscuits (i.e. a heavy pack of choc hobnobs, not some spaced out fancy biscuits with separate compartments in the tray for each one) in 3 sittings.

i can't stop until they've all gone... i.... i.... just..... i can't... i've had a whole pack of jaffa cakes washed down with a whole pack of chocolate digestives in the past, & it felt great....

as brooess says, avoid in the supermarket and don't have any in the house... and have the determination of a superhero at work when the vending machine starts looking at me suggestively.... dammit

i've not had a biscuit at all since 30th april 2015 (during which period i've lost 10kg), and the wife had some hob knobs on the kitchen counter last night... i picked them up and smelled them (not joking here) and had to walk away... i've asked her to hide them or get rid somehow for when i get home tonight... bloody biscuits... i love and hate them in equal measure

Had a medical the other day and BP was higher than it should have been, but that could have been due to the espresso... However, staying on track with biscuits, I've had six rich tea today and that's about my limit. I had a cuppa on my desk and it looked lonely...
