In this age of progress and innovation, will anyone try for a new Easter world record? The big 10. I suspect it's all in the technique. Rather than one at a time, if assembled into a tall column then sat down on very quickly. Shock and awe.
@TheBreadmonkey This sounds impressive until you remember that shrinkflation is a thing.

@TheBreadmonkey @VWDasher the important thing is to remove the foil first, otherwise it would really hurt.

Also once you get a couple in, they would start to melt, so adding more would probably get easier the longer you take.

Yes, I probably have overthought this, can you tell?

@stufromoz @TheBreadmonkey @VWDasher
I'm with you on this Stu! However I first thought Why would you do that? Followed by What a waste of good chocolate! Followed by How expensive and messy would that be! Urghh! We live in a weird world! 😂

@TheBreadmonkey

that's quick quick shit!

But being honest is he ever being let out?

@TheBreadmonkey That's no big deal, as long as the direction by which they got there does not matter.
@TheBreadmonkey I would attempt this, but unfortunately I am diabetic.
@TheBreadmonkey still reckon 9 was contentious…that last one doesn’t look fully enveloped but hey, I’m no Norris McWhirter.
@DigitalDruid @TheBreadmonkey ‘enveloped’. Perfect word for it, but ugh.
@DigitalDruid @TheBreadmonkey I feel sorry for the surgical team that had to extract the eggs afterwards.
@TheBreadmonkey meh, shrinkflation makes this easy. Come back when you've tried it with Terrys Chocolate Oranges
@TheBreadmonkey my youngest (8) just told me that if you eat them they will come out of your bottom anyway

@webhat @TheBreadmonkey diretion of travel is down not up and Guinness are sticklers for accuracy.

Related - don't look up space docking. don't do it.

@ASprinkleofSage @TheBreadmonkey and you don't look up Alaska pipeline 😉

@webhat @ASprinkleofSage

Sadly I am already familiar

@TheBreadmonkey @ASprinkleofSage probably from the last time I told you to not look it up 🤣
@TheBreadmonkey “AI helps man stick 10 creme eggs up his bum”

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey

It is probably just a matter of time before shrinkflation will comfortably accommodate a higher number of eggs.

…not that I can see the medical purpose for this remedy.

@airwhale @Nickiquote

Everybody's doing it over on TikTok

@TheBreadmonkey It's preferable to eating them.
@TheBreadmonkey Does anyone keep records for all the different kinds of Easter eggs? All the way from Mini Eggs up to the big ones that come with a couple of chocolate bars in the box?
@TheBreadmonkey shrinkflation will see that record tumble in no time at all.

@TheBreadmonkey

To the tune of “Hot Cross Buns”

Creme Egg Bums
Creme Egg Bums
Nine’s not many
Ten is plenty
Creme Egg Bums

Go and tell your sisters
Of your record sum
Nine’s not many
Ten is plenty
Creme Egg Bums

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey
I have such fond memories of singing “Cream Egg Bums” on Easter morning at Grandma’s house. Good times.

@Michigander @Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey

Now make one to the tune of "West End Girls"

In a cream egg town, a dead end world
The cream egg buns and cream egg girls
In a cream egg town, a dead end world
The cream egg buns and cream egg girls
Cream egg girls, cream egg girls

@TheBreadmonkey I can't believe nobody has mentioned this (or maybe they have, my cuttings agency is terrible) but if you melt the eggs down and mould them into a more ergonomic shape I'm sure you could double that record at least. If you have to include the foil to satisfy Guinness, why that's going to scrunch up into a negligible ball.
@TheBreadmonkey I guess you'd have to make sure the fondant stays in a central reservoir with the chocolate forming the casing, but that is known art as the existence of the original Creme Eggs testifies. Anyway, there concludes my Easter sermon, please turn to hymn 23, 'All Things Bright and Beautiful '
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey this is a superb level of lateral thinking and I applaud you for it
@mothninja @TheBreadmonkey Oh wow I just realised you could literally adapt the technique Edward de Bono describes in his actual original book on lateral thinking as a metaphor for lateral thinking: dropping hot ink onto jelly where it melts the jelly and forms connections/reservoirs etc (as opposed to non-lateral thinking which is dropping hot ink on cloth where the ink doesn't spread very far from it's impact site and thus forms fewer connections).

I am not sure this stays within the spirit of the endeavour, or just transgresses into making a monster chocolate butt plug.

And you know what they say about chocolate teapots.

But I feel @TheBreadmonkey should be the final arbiter on such matters.

But yes, some nice lateral thinking @internetsdairy

Hope you had a nice aquatic picnic @mothninja

@amiserabilist @TheBreadmonkey @mothninja I think the fascist ghost of Norris McWhirter should have ultimate jurisdiction. Just need a ouija board, two dozen Creme Eggs and some poppers
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey I think melting and moulding would happen internally. It does at the other end..
@keith @TheBreadmonkey That's some intestinal control. There's a David Foster-Wallace short story about that.
@thefathippy Relevant to your interests

@TheBreadmonkey Nah, it’s been done. like Simon Cowell on Britain’s Got Talent, my view is jaded. I want to see something different.

Full size eggs. The toys from Kinder eggs. Lego Easter bunnies. Cadbury mini eggs stuffed up there and then farted out at a target.

@TheBreadmonkey My wife read this over my shoulder. She told me not to send it, and I am in trouble.
@davidbcohen rookie mistake! Everyone knows the best way to secure your online internet presence us to your tooting on the terlet. I’ve found it has decreased being a victim of over-the-shoulder espionage by 89%!
How To Remove an Easter Egg From Your Ass Without Breaking It

It’s that time of year again, when chocolate bunnies are eaten and colorful eggs are hidden all around the home for children... Continue this tale

HARDTIMES
@davidbcohen @TheBreadmonkey I understood this to mean Target the store at first
@catmisgivings @TheBreadmonkey We don’t have Target in Britain. So if you could reach the Eastern seaboard from the UK with a ballistic intercontinental trajectory, that would be real talent (though quite hard to film).

@TheBreadmonkey

Ah yes, "The Toblerone Method"

@TheBreadmonkey pvc pipe, compressed air, 15 creme eggs, top class health insurance. Hello Guinness Records

@TheBreadmonkey

24 But Thomas, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see ten creme eggs up his bum, I will not believe.

26 After eight days again his disciples had Thomas with them: then came Jesus, and stood in the midst.

27 Then saith He to Thomas, observe this X-Ray and be not faithless, but believe.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey No one saw that Act of the Apostle coming.
@TheBreadmonkey I wonder what those lovely Fediverse people are up to tod... oh. Oh no.
@TheBreadmonkey the real trick is getting a full set of snooker balls up there then farting them all out at the Crucible
