How long?


The majority vote will serve as the expert opinion. If you were a healthy 32 year old and had an unlimited supply of drinkable water but had only Snickers bars to eat for the remainder of your life; How long would you live before you died of causes relating to malnutrition?
Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skimmed milk, lactose, milkfat, soy lecithin, artificial flavor), peanuts, corn syrup, sugar, skim milk, butter, milkfat, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, lactose, salt, egg whites and artificial flavor

however long, it would seem like more than 40 years

I'd say about a week. Because, honestly, who can make a Snickers bar last a lifetime?

957 days.

Each Snickers bar probably has 500 calories or so, with plenty of fat. I'm sure it also has protein (peanuts) and carbohydrates (sugar.) It will also have some vitamins and minerals (calcium from milk) although probably not vit. C. (which would lead to scurvy as your savant brother pointed out.)

So, however long sailors used to live without fruit on board before succumbing to scurvy is your answer. Probably a couple of months. (Unless you decided to end it all yourself because you couldn't stand to eat another Snickers bar.)

I think you are for sure living at least a year - probably more. You would probably want to die before that, but if you could keep forcing the Snickers, you could stick it out a year or two.

HAHAHAHAHA!
OK, I totally misread the original post. I thought you meant ONE Snickers bar to last the rest of your life! Oops.
In that case, I agree with the people that say you'd die of scurvy.
