These comparisons are actually pretty weak. Their effect on me as a reader is significantly dampened when you look at the duration of time required to consume the edibles on the right hand side.

A week to consume a bottle of frosting? Considering how much frosting is on a single slice of cake I'm really not bothered by this.

Four gallons of Skittles over 6 months? I guess if you're snacking regularly, just as regularly as you're drinking soda, that's not really a whole lot.

What makes it seem the most reasonable is consuming an entire 20-foot candy counter in 3 years. 3 years. Really? If you said a 20-foot candy counter in 3 months, my eyebrows might raise slightly.
