DCUM’s gotta DCUM.

There is nothing clean about holding and biting a donut. 🍩. And then you feel disgusting from just eating sugar — all to show up and Aunt Sally’s for lunch. No thank you.

No they aren't mesdy if you are over the age of 6.

Are you always so absurdly melodramatic, or only on DCUM?

They would peel it in the car, where the orange will dribble juice while they are picking the skin off in pieces. Now there are 20 pieces of orange skin - is there a trash bag? Then they break the orange in sections, creating more juice and now their hands are sticky. While they are eating it, there are possible seeds that need to be spit out.

The only "easy" grab and go fruits are banana, apple, pear and seedless grapes. And all of these would need a trash bag. The easiest fruit option is to put mixed berries in sandwich size Ziplocs.

Agree.

I don't see how a bunch of jelly filled, powdered and glazed donuts is any less of an issue than an orange in the car.

Do people actually eat pears without peeling and slicing them?

Yes, of course.

Pears are drippy, much messier than a glazed donut.

What kind of neanderthals are so uncouth as to turn themselves and a car into a sticky mess when eating a simple donut?

Do these people still eat with the dinner graces of the average 2 year old?

People. It is not that difficult to eat a donut without making a mess.

Well there are a 5 and 7 yr old too. Everyone is so hyper focused on two teen boys who apparently have to restrain themselves from eating a dozen donuts they forgot about everyone else. But either there's time to eat in the house before hitting the road or this is meant to be eaten only in the car. If eating in the house then just about any quick food will do. If you gave two tiny kids donuts to eat in the car they will more likely than not make a huge mess.

One would hope the 5 and 7 year old can master eating a glazed donut without getting food all over the car.

What kind of heathens are you people raising that your school aged children and teen boys cannot manage to eat donuts without making a mess?

How about no? How about OP abandon the nice gesture she was making and just let everyone fend for themselves? Then the "proles" can have their donuts, the virtuous teen athletes can have their 3 chicken breasts and spinach, the uptight middle age women can have their six almonds, and the freak who likes the Starbucks box o' crap can have that.

I doubt OPs family (and certainly not her teen boys) have the same kind of eating disorders as the premenopausal women of DCUM, nor do they lack the basic table manners like the posters whose adults and children alike would be unable to master eating a simple donut without washing their hands prior to leaving the house, or smearing sticky goo all over the car in the event they decide to snack on a donut mid road trip.

It doesn’t seem as though these are OP’s teen boys or she would ask them.

One would say the same about a family that wolfs down a dozen donuts on a two hour road trip.

The type of people who regularly eat in the car have filthy cars. We know you have old fries sitting under your seat and wadded up hamburger wrappers. So to you, what's a bit of sticky glaze? But to others it's gross.

We get donuts once a year for Hanukah. 2 adults 2 teens. Never seen a crumb left in the box. Kids probably get them other times too thinking about it but not a concern of mine.

One jelly donut a year is all it takes to feel Jewish!

I know you think that is some type of insult but given how desperately everyone is latching on to GLP-1s just proves they have always wanted to be thin like those Almond Moms they've been so jealous of.

Everyone knows the proper breakfast for the day after Thanksgiving is leftover pie, with coffee. And maybe a hard boiled egg.

Oh, honey. “They’re just jealous” is a lie your mom told you in middle school when the other girls were being “mean” to you. You were supposed to grow out of actually believing it long before adulthood.
