How Strong is a Snickers?

 

A Snickers bar is strong enough to have me wrapped around its little finger.  Every day at work for the past 4 months, I have religiously had a Snickers bar after lunch.

 

Let’s do the math.  4 months is one third of a year.  There are 52 weeks in a year so that equals 17 weeks (we’ll ignore the one third week).  There are 5 working days in a week making 85 trips to the candy machine.  Each Snickers has 280 calories.  85 times 280 is 23,800 calories.  A pound of fat is approximately 3,500.  23,800 divided by 3,500 is 6.8 pounds of creamy milk chocolate and luscious nougat I’ve added to my butt via Snickers.

 

I have to remember Phillipians 4:13 when I walk by the candy machine.
