About This Quiz

Desserts are the reason to eat other meals. You know what, you go ahead and eat dessert as your meal. If given a chance, would you eat dessert for every meal? For some, that's an easy and astounding yes, but for others, dessert is a treat eaten in moderation. No matter what your sweet style is, imagine being stuck on an island where the only things to eat are desserts. How long would you last? Maybe the real question is how long before you get so sick of sweets that you're just gulping ocean water for something other than sugar.

How did you get on this island? Maybe all those times you wished you could eat nothing but dessert finally became reality. Perhaps this is all just a dream. Either way, eating all the dessert in this quiz won't actually impact your life or health, so the sky is the limit! Dream up all of the confections you can think of and realistically think of how much of it you can eat. This could be a classic case of your eyes being bigger than your stomach, but if you really want to know how long you'd survive on a dessert island, take this quiz!
