How long could you survive on just water and orange tic tacs?

Random thought as I sit here popping them like nobody's business. Would you die in a month? Longer?

I cant know for sure what its nutritional content is,

But its not the calories you should care about. It hardly has enough for your body to notice. If it provides you enough sodium, magnessium, and calcium and other such elelctrolytes, then you could survive for a couple months, maybe more.

I could go indefinitely. It beats my current diet of water and air. I've been scrapping by for the last couple months... Haven't had an actual meal in at least a week...

No, I'm being serious. I'm out of food and have no gas or money so I'm selling all my stuff (link in sig) to pay my bills so I can afford to eat again.
Here's what I've eaten over the course of the last week:
a small bag of chips
2 donuts
a bagel
2 packages of Ramen
none of which were mine, all given to me by friends

Find a good deal on Ramen, it's cheap good eats. $0.10 is the best I've seen. If you think you're about to die, send me a PM and I'll mail you a package or two. I'll see if there's some other stuff around here to throw in the package.

Yeah, I know where to buy Ramen cheap, but when I said I'm broke, I mean I don't have a dime, and no prospects of getting any until my stuff sells. Don't worry about me though, I'm still alive, and I intend to stay that way.
Thanks for your concern, and G-d bless you :)

I had my tonsils out about 2 weeks ago. I survived on just water and cherry juice for almost the 2 weeks! I did lose about 12 lbs though. heh

Dude, as much as your annoyingly self righteous religious rants are to me PM me if you need me to paypal you a few bucks.... I'm having a rough time myself but not having enough money to eat a meal just saddens me :( good luck man, buy lots of rice and other such goodies.. you can often get pasta for next to nothing in bulk... do you have someone to help you out? a mom you can call? don't be too proud to ask for help!

Hey,
FYI - you may be able to talk to an advisor about a low interest loan or work study or something to help you out... Don't accept where you are right now- fight to make it better.. I'm not much of an inspirational speaker but, dude, you've hit rock bottom - the only place to go is up.. I hate tired cliches, but it's true! ;)
