      No, it’s a game one plays with their health and well-being. It’s called “it’s only 5 candies, how bad could that be?”

        Oh this is literally describing what someone is doing IRL. Thanks for the explanation…

        Why always 5 though? That seems insanely specific.

          I think it’s just a random small number she happened to use. Later in the comment, you see she makes a sandwich and wonders why her stomach hurts after only 5 candies.

            So it’s not literally 5 candies every time, but /a reasonable amount similar or equal to 5/.

            Thanks. I’m not trying to be difficult. I was really just mystified by what was going on here. You’ve really helped me to understand it.
