You can tank both of those things. You might get sick but they probably wont kill you if you're lucky. Cookie dough should have some risk, its the only way to balance it.

I was initially mad at this comment but you're right. Cookie dough is too good. Literally an OP food. The fear of shitting your guts out is the only thing stopping a somewhat reasonable person like me from eating a whole pound of it.

It's just the universe's way of maintaining balance. Kind of like when humanity invented Olestra and the universe said "ok that's fine, but if you eat a bag of Doritos your ass is going to leak."

I remember there being a comedy site back when olestra was a thing where some dude decided to test how much he'd have to eat before basically shitting himself inside out. He essentially journaled gradually increasing amounts for like a week and a half. If memory serves, it was roughly one whole bag of chips in a day before symptoms began and 2 bags before he hit full on ass leakage.

How many bags before he can submit himself to NASA as a means of interstellar propulsion?

the funny thing is he continued to eat after symptoms started showing

However, bacillus cereus and other bacillus strains can kill you or lead to amputation of limbs.
