| A guilty pleasure is something you enjoy, but still feel guilty about. Eating a big banana split with 3 different flavors of ice cream in it could be a "guilty pleasure" for someone who is overweight, for example. |

Thanks Lorikeet. What's your ultimate guilt pleasure?
My ultimate guilt pleasure is scarfing down a whole pint of Haagen Dazs.  |
