Not as long as that they would with decent nutrition.

Now we have a topic. So, what's the argument for or against it being possible?

You'd be lacking a lot of nutrients required to survive. All you'd be getting is basically sugar

Yes but youd have to be very specific about the type of snacks. If we're talking potato chips and candy bars no. There are some snacks with nutritional value like dried fruit snacks, nutrition bars etc.

There's no protein in fruit snacks, and the human body doesn't produce the essential proteins it needs by itself unlike most animals. You'll die of malnutrion after, probably, several months if I had to guess.

The problem is that the title question is too ambiguous.

The question should be: For how long can a human being survive on nothing but fruit snacks and water?

And as @Pogo_Marimo said, probably several months before vital biochemical processes that require certain nutrients can no longer be carried out by the body and your system slowly starts shutting down in agonizing starvation.

oh for some reason I mentally added a comma in there and saw "fruit, snacks and water"

on fruit snacks alone you'd probably die of malnutrition after a while
