I'm not passing judgment/judgement, but I'm seriously stunned that you had trouble finishing a box of thin mints. I'm not joking when I say I regularly eat entire boxes of girl scout cookies in a single setting--including frozen thin mints.
A is notorious for being a pansy when it comes to eating. NOTORIOUS. He was trying to pack on pounds a couple of years ago, and got some big hamburger. After a bit, he says, and I quote "My teeth hurt from chewing." This wasn't some In and Out 4x4 burger either, just a large one from Jack in the Box or something. I looked at him like he was some alien life form and then proceeded to bust up laughing.
My wife and I tease him all the time about eating like a toddler. "What, do your teeth hurt?" Seriously, we are very mean to him. We are aware of this, but we are more entertained by our bashing him than we are saddened by our guilt.
To a normal human, eating 36 thin mints would be something stupid that we'd do because they taste fanfreakingtastic. To abomb and his crystal teeth and tiny stomach, it's the stuff of Internet Legend.
