Seeing as how I can eat a 1-pound of Starbursts in an hour, and there are ~100 pieces in a pound, 500 pieces is nothing. Weak.

It's probably not as easy as you think... 6 pounds of candy? If you are a normal girl and weigh 120 pounds that's 5% of your body weight in candy. I call bullshit on your claim.

10,000 calories and 2 kilograms of sugar. You can easily go hyper glycemic shock at those levels.

 

Double post.

I have definitely eaten 2-pounds of Starbursts in a 2-hour time frame (those cheap 3-pound bags they sell at drugstores? Yeah, I bought myself one after failing an exam and ate my sorrows away). I would expect the difficulty of consuming so much sugar increases exponentially, though, so perhaps by the 3-pound mark it would get difficult.
