does this count as an ulterior motive

Part 1. Setting the scene.

I am not sure if Fantales are an Australian thing or not. So I will briefly describe them for the benefits of the Wibsite International Community. A Fantale is a (roughly) cube shaped piece of caramel, covered in chocolate. Its wrapper has writing on it about famous people or movies or something on it. When eating them in groups of people it's a bit like a "Who am I" game. Anyway, bottom line - they are a type of chocolate.

I bought a large packet for church on Sunday. However I couldn't find a bowl as there was already truckloads of supper. So they weren't opened. I brought them home.

Part 2. The problem.

I would like to eat SOME of the Fantales. But once I open the packet I will eat them all over a timeframe less than what would be recommended by most dietary guidelines. This is not desirable.

Part 3. The solution?

Tonight is bible study. If I open the Fantales now, I will be able to eat a few then I can take the opened packet to bible study and people will eat the rest of them. So everyone's a winner right? But my motives are not pure!

NB: I have already opened the packet and eaten three Fantales. So now I must either take an opened packet to bible study (is that bad?) or eat the rest myself. Tough call.
