    I'd just bring Bear Gryllz.

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

    marshmallows cause they have substance,big and puffy, fill up the stomach, plus loads of sugar.

    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.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    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.

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