Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the next instalment of the Tin Food Count.
First off, I’d like to thank Hipper for stepping aside for this particular count - washed beans were never going to do it for us. I’d also like to thank Mrs Z for (unknowingly) having to reschedule the special occasion to tomorrow lunchtime with this tin of mandarin segments.
This weeks challenge is to guess the correct number of Mandarin Segments and the correct amount of Syrup.
Points will be awarded as follows
Mandarin Segments Winner = 5 Points
Syrup Liquid Winner = 3 Points
An extra bonus point is also available to anyone who guesses the exact correct amount of each.
This weeks event will run until approximately 11:30 Saturday 5 December 2020 and the winner(s) will be announced ahead of our clash at "Happy Place... Happy Place..." Turf Moor with Everton (I will be wearing my newly acquired "Happy Place" T-Shirt for the count).
Current League Table (taken from the previous count)
BurnleyLad 5
Gawthorpe_view 5
Aclaret 4
Zlatan 3
This round of the Tin Food Count is now officially open. Good luck everyone who takes part and remember it’s not about the winning but the taking part that counts and the more competitors we have all adds to the powers of the tinned food count.

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
Damn, I've just had the Asda version, however I must add they were quite a few broken segments, so are you counting whole segments only, all segments whether whole or halved, or putting 2 halved segments together making 1 in total?

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
I'm estimating that there will be 62 segments of fruit, not being a fan of syrup more of a juice man, I estimate 92ml of thick claggy gooey syrup. To reiterate : 62 segments of Mandarin. 92ml light syrup.
COME ON YOU CLARETS.

I believe that it's whole segments only, no counting of fractions.

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
If someone was the buyer responsible for selling this product to Morrison’s and had access to the product specification containing the allowed parameters for whole & broken segments, volume of juice etc would that disqualify them from the competition?

I missed the City count... clearly this was the reason for the result, not the enjoyment of a regular city spanking

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
As it happens, Doug is wrong.
Rule 22 (a) points out that 'any partial unit of half the size (or more) of an average full unit shall be Counted, whilst any of less than half is Discounted'.
Some Amendment of Estimates may be expected, Zlatan.

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
44 segments and 120 ml of liquid.
Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
I remember that rule from last time round. If the can has been given a good shaking at the warehouse, all the segments could be in fractions of one-third or smaller and the official count could be 0.
I think it's brave of the organisers to select such a potentially controversial unit as mandarin oranges so early in the revival. One might have expected something more robust like carrots or peaches. Laides and/or gentlemen, I salute you.
I'm going for 40. with three quarters of a fluid ounce of juice.

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
They're lucky I didn't count the segments in Latin - but if I'd put XXXX they might have thought I was censoring my own estimate. Or counting beer. and XL is a clothes size.
I did wonder about quoting it in runic, but sometimes you can carry traditionalism a little too far.

Thanks. It's not very many, is it? I'm no better at assessing fluid ounces than I am at assessing cubic centimetres.

Re: Morrisons Mandarin Segments in Light Syrup 312g
I've just realised it's a light syrup juice, this could influence the amount of juice left in the can rather than highly viscous juice that would stick more to the segs. I should have read the can label more closely.
