A Public Service

by Bryan

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.

Bored again huh? 😉 LOL

Of course, if one is already a diabetic… the totals are far smaller. Just sayin! 😀

They would definitely fall on the bad outcome side of scale.

We are talking about 5 pounds of sugar if you weigh 160 pounds. I gag when people put more that two teaspoons of sugar in a 12 ounce drink.

So you’re saying that if I want to kill someone, all I have to do is dare him to eat a 5 pound bag of sugar? Whoa!

Since you are in California, you should make raw sugar an option 😉
