Eat them all in one sitting. 18. Be twenty minutes late to dinner because you just had to finish this one last boss battle 19.

Go to the food shelf on their “now or never” giveaway day, get an absolutely enormous amount of cake, pie, brownies, pastry and cookies, and pig out 'till you’re sick. 34.
