Oh my god. I’ve been reading your user name as Happy Lavender all these years! When Hazel said this was proof you were a guy, I was sure she was wrong because what kind of guy would use Lavender in his name (other than a fabulous one, perhaps). What the hell is a Lendervedder, anyway? How many peanut butter cups do you have, anyway? ---

1. I’ve reached my saturation point. I may not consume the most, or be the fastest, but I guarantee I’m the only one of you sons of bitches that ate 45 holiday miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups today. So there! ---

So there! Heeheehee. Touche, good sir. So glad I don’t have anything in the house handy to challenge you with, because I’m quite possibly stupid enough to. 😛 ---

Will a challenger appear tomorrow? I bet we will see a Doper break the century mark before Fetivus. ---

I dunno, but if a challenger takes over, I’ll step it up to ensure the championship belt stays in Michigan. ---

> [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > This is absolute proof that Happy is a guy. Most girls would be beating themselves up over a spoiled diet and lack of willpower after five, not powering through a spaghetti break and hoping not to ralph. This is hilarious! Speak for yourself kiddo - me and the kid bought licorice for my mum’s xmas present yesterday. A whole box. Lasted ten minutes after we unpacked the groceries - the whole box. No regrets, no recriminations. We bought mum a nice pen today. ---

How many mini cups are in one of those bags? I can safely say that I can eat an entire bag in one sitting with no ill effects and no spaghetti break, but I’ve never counted because I generally feel more shame than pride in that situation. I can’t help myself though! My need to eat as many as are in front of me are why I never buy peanut butter cups. ---

I’d say a nine ounce bag has about 30. So apparently, I ate a bag and a half. :shame: ---

Well, as soon as someone ups the ante, we can get this party started. I’m afraid we’re going to need visual proof of the wrappers from here on out. ---

I’ll claim responsibility for setting the goal at 40, so I’ll be the one offering the official Pat on the Back. _[pats]_ Well done, **Happy**. You’ve made an enormous stride forward in our war against the wily miniature peanut butter cup. **Knead** PBC-Finder General ---
