Via skippy the bush kangaroo, the formula to determine how many ‘fun-sized’ candy bars or pieces of candy corn someone can eat in a binge before having a 50-50 chance of dying from hyperglycemia.
Take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 13.5. Divide the result by 9.3 to determine the number of ‘fun-sized’ candy bars, or by 1.5 to find the number of candy corn pieces.
For example, 156 pound individual multiplied by 13.5 equals 2106. Divide by 9.3 yields 226.45 ‘fun-sized’ Snickers or by 1.5 to yield 1404 pieces of candy corn.
