Surviving in the desert on junk

lcrcboy

If you were lost in the sahara desert and were left with one of the following junk food items to survive off which one would you pick and why??

1. 2L bottle of coke

2. Bag if skittles

3. bag of marshmallows

4. bag of taytos

5. 2L bottle of dry cider (I know its not really junk food)

I'm well aware they could do harm to you when trying to survive but sure thats the fun in picking out of this lot

2l bottle of coke, it gives you a sugar rush and makes you feel like you ate something

I'd just bring Bear Gryllz.

So I could kill him and bury the body where no one would ever find it.

Marshmellows. To roast on myself when I catch fire with my Irish skin.

the bottle of coke I reckon. You'll die of thirst way more quickly than through lack of food. You could then use the empty bottle as an overnight dew still.

Come on, do it like bear grylls, piss in the bottle then drink it...and that's just in the hotel room!

Thought this was going to be about heroin.

I'm very cynical so i'd take the cider and die pissed drunk.

I'd take the Coke IF it was in fact Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper has been proven to have medicinal properties beyond homeopathy's wildest dreams.

Follow the trails to water. If you know what your doing, you won't need the foods mentioned above.

To attract help from airplanes flying overhead or local Beduoins in the desert:

Drink all of the cider. Break open the bottle and unfold it so that it is reasonably flat. You got yourself a mirror.

Take the 2L bottle of coke and try not to shake it when opening it. Use a large sharp tayto like a knife to slice open marshmallows and hollow out the insides. Slide skittles in the hollow marshmallows and then as quickly as possible, stuff as many of the skittled marshmallows into the bottle of coke and tighten down the top. The marshmallow dissolves eventually, exposing the skittles to the coke which react like Mentos. You got yourself a flare.

Take your unfolded cider bottle mirror and your coke bottle flare to the nearest rock, stand well back throw the flare-coke off the rock as hard as you can. It will launch like a rocket, raining the the surrounding countryside in sugary caffeinated fizzed up water, attracting attention. Use your cider bottle mirror to guide them in and pinpoint you.

Cider.

If I'm gonna be stuck on an island, the very least that I'd want is to get pissed on the first night.

Coke makes me feel thirsty after drinking it sometimes and can give me a headache if its all I have to drink when I am already thirsty.

Is Cidona an option for cider? According to the ads it was the greatest thirst quencher.

coke would just dehidrate you to much, id have marshmallows and piss thank you very much

I think in these situations it's always safer to ask yourself -what would MacGyver do?!
