Ok, so this is an SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess!).
Assuming you don't change anything else in your diet, the 250ml of heavy cream per day every day, will ramp up to about 1.5lb gain per week.
Obviously, adding cookies or something to it will help, and ramping up to 500ml per day will increase it.
Maybe you want to ramp up to 250ml with breakfast, and dinner, with 250ml more with cookies before bed!
That is probably more like what you have in mind. Just work up to it over a couple weeks.

Fatchance, I think their issue with the heavy cream is due more to it's viscosity than the flavor. I'm not sure how sugary cookies would help with that. Also, sugar doesn't have a healthy effect on fat distribution so it's probably not the best thing to gain with.
If the cream is too thick for you, you could try diluting it with milk or half&half. You could also just drink half&half instead. You could also try spacing out your consumption of the heavy cream throughout the day.
I agree, that is why I said:
"If it still seems to thick for you with the cookies, try mixing a little bit of whole milk into the cream until you get used to it."
And
"Another idea is to break your cream up a little. Half of it at breakfast, half of it with cookies for a bedtime snack for example."

Oh sorry, forgot one of your questions.
It is certainly going to affect you by making you gain weight.
It is probably going to be "good fat" under the skin rather than "bad fat" around your organs.
How much or how fast you gain is going to depend on your level of activity and what the rest of your diet is like.
Cream may impact your level of activity somewhat. Some people find that cream makes them feel lazy ... kinda like turkey dinner. Others (like me) actually find it makes me more energetic. Let us know what you think!

Congratulations on your decision! Here are some suggestions about the cream.
The cream will be easier to drink if you eat something with it. The obvious choice is to eat some cookies with the cream. Not only will it set in your stomach better, but a few more calories from the cookies is good too!
If it still seems to thick for you with the cookies, try mixing a little bit of whole milk into the cream until you get used to it. Sometimes it helps to add chocolate syrup or something similar to the cream as well.
Another idea is to break your cream up a little. Half of it at breakfast, half of it with cookies for a bedtime snack for example. You may find that 250ml in the morning and 250ml at bedtime is easy this way.
There does seem to be a delay in the gain, and seems to vary for different people.
Finally, it is best if you drink the cream every day for an extended period. You have the opportunity to get used to it that way... you may find you really like it after a while (I do). And the gain will tend to level out and be more consistent.
If you want to get used to it, a week is probably not long enough. I believe it is better to commit to 30 days or so. You will probably find yourself used to it and enjoying it somewhere in that 30 days.
I hope this is helpful!

Flavoring it is good.
Breaking it up and drinking through the day helps avoid stomach issues.
Drinking it like milk with cookies, cake, etc. helps avoid stomach issues and just adds a few more calories as well. I can do a quart a day this way with no issues.

Nope, Myers-Briggs (read the article) has no validity at all.

no, it would do a number of things...
Likely make you throw up....
Overload your system and cause you to have the runs ....
Dehydrate you due to the runs...
Exceed what your body can digest meaning that even if you manage to not throw up ... you will just have creamy shit!
I would certainly not recommend doing this!

Drink a quart a day spaced through the day with cookies, cake, cheesecake, etc.
Make sure it is in addition to your regular diet and do it every day. This is the most effective ... and most pleasant as well.
This works best done for weeks rather than days.

If you drink it through the day ... with cookies or other sweet treats ... you can drink a quart of heavy cream a day without too much trouble.
You can get used to it and pretty much crave it in fact.
Nothing like an extra 3600 calories a day .... not including the sweet treats! For best results do it daily for several weeks! ;-D
