Salt could be recovered by squeegeing the sweat off of the oil-covered tourists, and using the shrimp dip boiler to distill out the water. An added bonus is that the leftover coconut oil film could be used to fill the deep fryer for some nice tempura shrimp.
And shrimp dip can contain nearly anything, so it looks like a long healthy nutrient-rich life is guaranteed.
You are eventually going to want a cheeseburger. Maybe open a couple of restaurants.
But what would you name such a restaurant? It would have to reflect both the menu and location.
You can keep the pickle.
That would really be paradise.
On that diet you’re never going to get to look at 40.
In all of your timeline estimates you are neglecting the fact that there is an injury to the heel involved. (some people are so into material wealth that they concentrate on the loss of the flip flop and don’t even recognize the seriousness of a pop-top wound)
Ok, so unless there’s some toxic effect from eating shrimp and spongecake, we know the diet is good for at least one day.
Well that cheap ass margarita mix did give me one serious case of indigestion the next day so that is a red flag right there. Though I suspect any food/beverage product that is sold in couple gallon plastic buckets probably isn’t the upper echelon stuff.
But everyone knows that a stick of Juicy Fruit gum will calm down tummy troubles.
Jimmy has an answer for everything.
There would have to be some sort of cocktail sauce or life wouldn’t be worth living.
Well, if lack of fat was really an issue, you could go out and lick the oil off them.
One or two tourists a year should make up for all of the other dietary deficiencies.
Just wash the suntan lotion off before you cook them. Nasty stuff.
I have heard that human flesh is toxic though due to all of the chemicals and other stuff (including human-specific diseases), but that doesn’t make much sense because if it was that bad, you’d be sick yourself (well, there’s bioaccumulation, but 1-2 a year shouldn’t’ be too much).
On a more serious note, there are people who have tried diets even more limited than the OP’s and other recent threads and lived for years before getting sick; 15 years in the case of chicken nuggets.
I would assume you’d be dipping the boiled shrimp in butter, otherwise, you wouldn’t be doing it right..
One would assume that one would get really plastered from the low food intake and the high alcohol intake, and would survive only 24 hours - after which time one would wander in front of a moving bus and …SQUISH!
While causation cannot be determined, there is some evidence that such a diet may lead to follicular degeneration and/or loss of secondary sexual characteristics. One male subject reported a longstanding unfulfilled desire to grow even the thinnest of mustaches.
Just in case the diet does prove fatal, make sure you have some warm beer and bread handy. They say it can raise the dead.
How Long could one live on spongecake, boiled shrimp and Margaritas?
Probably a lot longer than living on reds, vitaman C and cocaine.
All a friend can say is aint it a shame?
