But what if the bunker-mate was fashioned from Twizzlers'? Can we say Twilson?

I think that after 4 or 5 months of nothing but Twizzlers and water, your life is over. I say this because they will have to abandon the safety of the bunker to find a stash of Milk of Magnesia unless they can fashion an enema system from the Twizzlers and the plastic wrappers.

My personal opinion is that the majority of Americans could survive for 6 months with no food at all.

Twizzlers would be better than nothing, but if you are going to stock up on 8 tons of twizzlers, OP, add some bottles of a good multi-vitamin and a bunch of powdered milk. Drink milk with your twizzlers. You can add Nestle's Quik to the milk if you are incapable of ingesting anything that isn't loaded with sugar.

While I'm a Twizzler fan, I would be sick of them after day 3. Honestly, if I didn't have access to real food and could only stock up on candy, I'd probably go for the candy bar with the highest amount of protein in it.

Survive? Yes. Be in good health? No.
