You’ll spoil your appetite!

[Immortalfire]

Did your parents ever say this? Mine didn’t. I often saw the phrase in books and TV, but I honestly never knew what it meant

As a kid, I always had an appetite so there was never any worry about “spoiling“ anything

Or heard it, and it's been used in me. I believe it's more to do with snacking and eating sweety things shortly before an actual meal, in that you'll be full from the sugar and not eat your vitamins.

Milky Way was always marketed as being the snack you could eat between meals, that's why it's mentioned in this thread.

I second this. I've never heard that either - and I do like a Milky Way.

Nonsense.

But I've been told that very often.
