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.

OP has invited these people to stay at her house. She is suggesting donuts precisely because she doesn't want them going in her kitchen and cooking. It's a totally reasonable move, but it's not a selfless gesture.

They're not staying at her house, they're meeting at her house to go elsewhere. She's not the host so she has exactly zero obligation to them. Eat the donut or don't, no one cares. Buy your own damn breakfast, you lazy moocher.

OP has clarified that they are flying into town, presumably for thanksgiving and that the plan is that they will follow OP in a rental car to the destination that they don’t know how to get to, so pulling off the highway for an why McMuffin isn’t an option.

I haven't followed someone to a destination in decades. There's no need for that anymore.

Yes this just gets curiouser and curiouser

If they’re staying elsewhere, won’t they have eaten breakfast before meeting up at your house to caravan to the destination? My family would definitely get breakfast first - either at our hotel if offered or we’d stop at a quick diner or Starbucks/Dunkin for breakfast sandwiches. I’m not anti-donut, but I wouldn’t want to arrive hangry to the lunch destination and I’d definitely be hangry if I hadn’t had any protein all day.

If the bottle is 59oz, I would guess about 1/5 to 1/4 is gone, so 12-15oz or so. That would be 8-10 shots.

Wrong thread, babe 😂

Pro tip: Cut all the donuts in half - that will stretch what you have.

It doesn't seem like they are staying elsewhere. It seems like they are staying with OP.

Are you the same person incredulous that teens have different eating habits?

The fact that some teens have different eating habits is completely irrelevant. If you don't know the teens, and you are feeding them their only food between a relatively early wake up and lunch, you need to plan for more than 300 calories or whatever is in a single donut. Because while some teens have slow metabolisms, and aren't in the middle of a growth spurt, other teens generally need more food than that. So, you have two options. One is to buy more than one donut per person, and the other is to add other foods. If you are concerned you'll get teenagers who don't have the common high calorie needs, then maybe it's better to buy other things that can be put back in the fridge. Bagels and cream cheese. Peanut butter and toast. Greek yogurt or skyr. Egg bites. High protein granola bars (one or two of these, not all of these) are all options.

The title literally says coming over the day after Thanksgiving. Not that a house full of people are leaving early the next day because they are already there.

I think they are coming over for Thanksgiving and then heading to these other relatives the day after. She has clarified that they are flying into town.

Great. Eat the donut then.

I would just take 2 halves. Half a donut is not enough for anyone over the age of two (who doesn’t have an eating disorder).
