In the daytime immediately postdate Halloween , my brother and I would lie on a diet we naively coined " Halloween Helper , " where we replaced every repast with a steady stream of Kit Kats , Tootsie Roll Pops , and pretty much everything else in ourtrick - or - treat pillowcaseaside from the Care Bear pencils from that dire old woman three door down who was worried about the ramifications all this processed sugar would have on our commonwealth ’s youth .
As it plough out , copious amount of high - levulose - laced candy rot teeth , make you portly , and cause incurable impotence by the clip you hit 25 ( that happened to everyone , right ? ) . And in a hard , Halloween - sized dose , it can evenkill you . The folks atReactionsrecently lay it all out for us , in video recording signifier .
As it turns out , it ’s ludicrously soft to OD on your Halloween booty .

So , if for some reason you do n’t need to watch that picture ( it ’s fine ) , their number - crunching determined that 262 fun - size candy bar in one sitting would be plenty to defeat off an otherwise healthy , 180 lb human person . That ’s about $ 30 worth of candy , 20,000 calories , or 5.5lbs of cabbage .
According to the television , that would also amount to 1,627 piece of candy corn , if you are a devil and would eat more than one piece of candy corn per decade . essentially , your liver would n’t be able to process the amount of carbohydrate consumed – which is fair , as your liver probably works pretty hard as is .
Do what you will with that entropy . Maybe limit the kiddies to one lil ' Snickers bar per visit . Perhaps swear out up apples , which can competently be described as nature ’s confect . But whatever you do , do n’t become the " pencil lady " of your ' hood .

For that is a fate even bad than being responsible for killing our state ’s youth – because then , at least you ’re still cool .
