Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once
Bake a cake, have a slice, and sell the rest to charity. It’s more cost effective, less expensive, and allows one to further the use of the phrase “sell it to charity”. Triple win
I live in germany, so I cant on sundays, 'cauze everything is closed.
Cafés are literally one of the only things open on Sundays here, and they sell cake.
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.
LOL, just made a comment about watches and came here.
Mid-80’s and mom was appalled at the notion of a $30 Swatch when a Timex could be had for $10. No Swatch. ☹
Woke up one Saturday morning, decided I was fucking 50-yo and I could buy a damned Swatch if I wanted to! Bought TWO!
Truly realizing you’re an adult is quite freeing. :)
You’re also free to get fat and die of a heart attack. It’s like nobody cares.
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.
