What would happen if you ate all your Halloween candy in one sitting? You might die. According to the American Chemical Society, a man who weighs 195 pounds (that’s the national average) would need to eat 155 “fun size“ Snickers bars in one sitting to drop dead, while the average woman (166 pounds) would need to scarf down 214 individual Reese’s peanut butter cups or 1,527 piece of candy corn, reports The L.A. Times. Most children are obviously a lot smaller, so don’t let them eat the whole bag!
