You would probably suffer from malnutrition in a couple weeks and it could lead to you getting seriously ill. Any diet with only one food can lead to malnutrition.
Definition: (from NIH.gov) Malnutrition is the condition that occurs when a person's body is not getting enough nutrients. The condition may result from an inadequate or unbalanced diet, digestive difficulties, absorption problems, or other medical conditions.Malnutrition can occur because of the lack of a single vitamin in the diet, or it can be because a person isn't getting enough food. Starvation is a form of malnutrition.
Malnutrition also occurs when adequate nutrients are consumed in the diet, but one or more nutrients are not digested or absorbed properly.
Malnutrition may be mild enough to show no symptoms. However, in some cases it may be so severe that the damage done is irreversible, even though the individual survives.
If untreated, malnutrition can lead to mental or physical disability, illness, and possibly death. So, you'll go crazy from easting those Twinkies before you die.

That's an interesting question. To figure it out, you'd have to consider the product. First, it would keep you from being hungry. That's the only thing it would do. The only nutritional value is sugar, and some dough. You'd burn off the sugar, and still probably wither away, eventually. It doesn't have what the body needs to fuel it. They're only made as a tasty, unhealthy snack, that makes the company millions.

Good question. With all the preservatives in those things, who knows? While they, themselves, seem to have an idefinite shelf-life ... it has to make you wonder. If you're a twinkie yourself, you'll last a really long time. But if you're a human, something tells me it'll shorten your life-span by about 40 years or more. Just a guess.

I suspect that would depend on whether you took a vitamin or not and how many miles a day you jogged ;) However long it was I imagine you would die smiling {those little buggers ARE good!} Good luck!

I would estimate about 5 to 10 days... you'll die from thirst.
However, on the up-side, you'll save money on embalming since your body is already full of preservatives.

You might live to a ripe old age.
You'd also look like Jabba the Hutt.

No clue, but if you didn't exercise, and just ate excessive amounts at one sitting, you'd definetly grow to be obease.
