According to The Guinness Book of Records the largest chocolate Easter Egg is still the one that went on display at Le Acciaierie Shopping Centre, in Cortenuova, Italy, in 2011.
Egg Weight = 7,200 kg = 15,873 lbs = 7.9 US ton
Height = 10 m = 34 ft
Circumference = 19.6 m = 64 ft
The sugar content for easter eggs is: 55-65% by weight
So we will assume the sugar content of the giant egg was in the middle:
60%
The weight of sugar in the giant egg equals:

The answer to this question is not ‘Toooo loooong!!’ It can be answered approximately.
According to a DREAMWORLD fact sheet Bengal tigers eat between 4 and 5 kilograms of chicken, horsemeat or kangaroo meat five days a week. To imitate their diet in the wild, Dreamworld’s tigers – Java, Jaya, Kia, Khan, Nika, Pi, Raja, Zakari and Akasha – fast on bones twice a week.

DART is a test
of NASA’s planetary defence plans.
AND IF YOU GOOGLE ……..
DOUBLE ASTEROID REDIRECTION TEST
Guess what?
The DART(Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission was launched on Nov. 23, 2021, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
It is the size of a small vending machine and it has been travelling through space for 10 months.

Death by Caffeine: The Math Part 1 USA UNITS here.
The lethal dose for caffeine is about 150 milligrams per kg of body weight. While the average person’s caffeine consumption is around 200 milligrams a day, the Mayo Clinic advises against exceeding 500 to 600 milligrams per day.
This work titled Timing is Everything is by street artist ABOVE in London.
You may want this much energy but be warned, energy drinks can kill.
It would take a ridiculously huge number of ANGRY WOMBAT energy drinks to kill a 14 year old weighing, say, 48 kg. Nevertheless, some kids are more sensitive to caffeine than others and then much lower levels of consumption of energy drinks can be fatal.
See Death by Caffeine: The Maths Part 2 METRIC
Here is the work (see below) TIMING IS EVERYTHING by street artist ABOVE in London showing the timing.

I Can’t Sleep Math: Caffeine Maths METRIC HERE.
Sensitivity to caffeine varies for individuals, but in healthy adults the half life for caffeine is approx 6hrs meaning your body eliminates half the caffeine you have drunk in 6 hrs. Ref: Caffeine Pharmacology
Caffeine interferes with sleep. One study found that consuming caffeine 6 hours before bedtime reduced total sleep time by 1 hour.
Caffeine content sources Caffeine Content Data Base

The Half life equation is an exponential function.
The Mayo Clinic advises up to 400mg Caffeine a day for adults, which would be;
10 black teas
7 instant coffees
4 cappuccinos
2 dark roast brewed
less than one cup of Black Insomnia Coffee.
Approx half this amount of caffeine for 14 yos.
