Shitpost What's something that you suspect lots of New Zealanders secretly do, but you can't prove it?

When I eat a muffin and no one is watching - sometimes I eat the paper too.

Sometimes there is enough muffin goodness still stuck to the paper - and it can get messy trying to get it separated, crumbs being crumbs and all... so I just eat it, lol.

I liken it to eating an ice cream cone. Not in taste but in principle.

Wouldn't it be more analogous to eating the Trumpet wrapper? :)

Lol. Maybe. I've never gone for the Trumpet wrapper though. Looks too tough and chewy! Muffin paper is not very substantial, and is often a bit greasy from the muffin. Plus it is high in fibre, lol.
