OT - Cadbury Eggs

[WaltsSuccessor]

I asked ChatGPT, "how long can someone survive eating only Cadbury eggs?"

Here's ChatGPT's answer:

Ah, the classic "Cadbury egg diet" — deliciously disastrous.

**Short answer:** Not long — *maybe* a few weeks tops, but with some serious health issues kicking in pretty fast.

Here’s why:
---
### **Nutritional Breakdown of a Cadbury Creme Egg (UK version):**
- **Calories:** ~177
- **Sugar:** ~26.5g
- **Fat:** ~6g
- **Protein:** ~1g
- **Vitamins/minerals:** Almost none
- **Fiber:** Basically zero
---
### What Would Happen?
#### **Days 1–3:**
- Sugar highs and crashes galore
- You’d feel energized, then sluggish, moody, and probably nauseous

#### **Week 1:**
- Your body would start missing essential nutrients (no vitamin C, no fiber, no protein)
- Constipation from no fiber
- Risk of hypoglycemia between sugar crashes
- Skin might get oily or break out

#### **Week 2:**
- Your muscles start to break down due to lack of protein
- You’d be super fatigued, irritable, possibly dehydrated (sugar pulls water into the gut)
- You’d likely start losing weight, but not in a healthy way

#### **Week 3+:**
- Signs of **scurvy** (vitamin C deficiency): fatigue, bleeding gums, bruising
- Immune system would be wrecked
- Liver and pancreas under extreme stress
- Possibly pre-diabetic or insulin resistant
- Risk of collapse from electrolyte imbalances
---
### Bottom Line:
You could *technically* survive for a couple of weeks eating only Cadbury eggs, but your body would be in full panic mode. Beyond that, you're looking at serious health consequences — and potentially fatal ones if you kept pushing it.

But hey… your Easter basket would be legendary.

Sounds fun!

That’s based on zero medical research. Pure conjecture.

Also… I never knew ChatGPT had a sense of humor, and find it mildly disturbing.

I don’t think you understand how ChatGPT works.

I was referring to the legendary Easter basket remark, which I realize may have been generated by NYCardsfan.

That was a direct copy/paste of the ChatGPT result. Like you, I was somewhat surprised that ChatGPT threw in the little joke at the end (complete with emoji).

That's kind of the whole point of these large language models (LLMs). They're machine learning models designed for natural language. As more and more people use them, it gets better at using natural language like humor and sarcasm.

Q is correct on it being unsettling/disturbing though. Only going to get worse. Good luck to teachers trying to grade students' papers today.

There is AI paranoia in the academe.

Depends upon where it is sourced from.

Wouldn't last very long on the inferior Hershey's Cadbury produced in the U.S..

How long could a person survive by exclusively eating Cadbury eggs?

Is it possible such a diet could make one superhuman, or instill magical powers?

Funny thing. When I first read this question i thought for sure it was Sikeston asking it!!
