So I believe that if you are used to buying lobsters for food and are offered a choice people will tend to pick what they are used to. If they thought about it more they might see the healing benefits but it is more comfortable for most people to go with what they know.

I have to admit, also a decent theory. Basic human psychology, right?

Lobsters are easier to get, and they heal quicker.

Also, I highly doubt that Chocolate Cakes heal 15 each bite

If they did heal 15 each time then you probably would need a higher cooking level to cook it and a lot of people would use them if they healed that much.

choco cakes heal 5 hp per bite, 15 total because of 3 bites... not 45 total lol... thats why lobbies are more common, you have to click 3 times more for cakes

That does sound a bit more plausible.. hehe, I feel like a nimwit

Dang, all that time and effort to make tons of cakes, all for naught.

Lol. Still, cake does still have it's uses. For example, when I was getting my agility up, whenever I went to the Brimhaven Agility Arena I would always steal a load full of cakes, because there you do not need to heal fast, you actually prefer to heal less at a time

People new to members are often the ones that are loaded with cakes becuase they want to train their thieving. They just sit at the cake stall all day long.

Regular cakes heal four to be exact. Now Chocolae cakes may heal 7 or 8 pre bite im not sure but you need 50 Cooking to make also cakes take longer to make than lobbies or any other fish.

Of course cakes cost more, they heal more and are harder to make. And yes, I had more lobbies than cakes. But neither of these facts could have affected the buyers' decisions, since they were never discussed before everyone chose to buy lobbies.

And why would they matter? What I want to know is why ppl prefer to carry around lobbies when they could carry over 3 times the healing power by selecting cakes instead.

This was in f2p.

Well for one, if your pking (which is often why ppl need food) you wil need to feel fast... having to eat 3 parts of a cake makes you miss 2 rounds of fighting, this means that they are almost always a few hits behind and a few hp down just cause of the slow eating, where as they can sacrifice 2 hp and eat a lobster and only miss 1 round, maybe not even miss 1.

Hi... My name is Morris, I Am lvl 86, i have over 1min my bank, and i use CAKES. Why? Well, i get hit a lot more 4s than 12s. If anybody says cakes are for noobs, you obviously don't realise the versitality of cakes. They can also be easily turned into the uber-cool Chocolate cake, healing a total of 15. Nyer.

"Lobbies heal 12hp, swordies 14hp, whereas choc cakes for example heal 3x15= 45hp!!! Carrying cakes instead of lobbies would save a lot of inventory space. Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon?"

excuse me cakes dont heal 15 hp in each bite they heal 15 hp after its completely eaten
