This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

“This… is Anon.” A 30-year-old man who ate 48 Snickers bars in one sitting.

He thought he was just indulging in a treat from Costco. But within hours, his hands began to tremble, his fingers and toes throbbed in pain, and a chill took over his body. He didn’t know it yet… but his pancreas was working overtime, and his blood sugar levels were spiraling out of control.

What happened next would leave doctors stunned—and teach us a shocking truth about what happens when you overdose on candy bars.

This is what happens if you eat an entire display case of Snickers.

This made me think of something that happened to a good friend of mine. He's in his 50s and is one of the most healthy people I know in terms of diet and exercise.

He went to the doctor the other day for a checkup. His doctor made an off the cuff remark about his cholesterol levels being normal, which was fine for a regular person by maybe a little concerning for a person with diabetes.

My friend was like "What do you mean for a person with diabetes?" and the doc responded "You didn't know you had diabetes?"

They went through my friend's diet to see what could be the cause. The conversation went like this:

Doc: Do you drink sugary drinks like soda?

Friend: Never.

Doc: What do you eat in a typical day?

Friend: Mostly rice and spinach. And beans too. Honestly most days I forget to eat.

Doc: This doesn't really check out. Are you sure there's nothing else you're eating or drinking?

Friend: Oh... I also usually drink about a gallon of orange juice a day.

So yeah ... that's the story of how my supposedly healthy friend gave himself diabetes by drinking a metric fuckton of OJ.
