340g Sweet Harvest Sweet Corn

Post by RalphCoatesComb » Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:00 pm

Following on from HuwYWattfromWare's tremendous effort v Crystal Palace, here is my offering for Fulham.

Image

The items are described as "Supersweet" and are "1 of your 5 a day"

For all you health freaks out there... there is "No Added Salt or Sugar"

If you are interested in why sweet corn cannot be digested, here is something that Spot found on t'Internet (**See below)

From the image on said tin, it can safely be surmised that these are individual pieces of sweet corn, rather than huge cobs of corn ;)

Drainage will commence tomorrow at 15.00 and the results will be posted at 17.00

As usual, Spot will be on VAR and the usual fragmentation rules apply.

How many of these little burgers are in my tin? And, how much Jus are they contained in?


**Sweet corn is digested, otherwise there would be little point in eating it.
The inside of each kernel is almost pure starch and is digested very readily.
But it is surrounded by a cellulose husk and humans have no way to break down cellulose molecules.

If you swallow sweet corn, with or without chewing, some of the kernels may remain intact in the stomach and, although enzymes will diffuse in and nutrients diffuse out, the overall appearance of the kernel will remain very similar when it eventually emerges**

So, now you know!

Next week... why are there always carrots in it?! ;)

Cheers for your compliment, RCC, and for taking on this vital count.
I’ll go for 450bits of sunshine in 180ml joose.
Your OP made me smile. Our eldest, whilst still in nappies, had been eating peanuts. We checked her nappy later in the day and it was full of peanuts but nothing else.

You may wish to alter your estimate your sweet corn. HuwYWattfromWare got there first, or you can share the points if it's a tie :)

Spot has signalled that time is up.

What an amazing Count. So many participants must carry the day at t'Turf this evening.

What was in my tin?

907 sweet corn in 62.5mls jus

I must say that the Count did take some time, especially as the smallest marker on our jug is 100mls. Spot saved the day and we ended up using the syringe from his medication, obviously a spare one. Hence the precise number of mls recorded.

The results were TIGHT with Leeds Dave coming in at the end to take the points for Sweet Corn with his 897, whilst CricketField72 with his 64 mls pipped (and I mean pipped) Bosscat's 60 mls.

Congrats to leedsdave on his five-point haul, and to CF73 for a three-pointer that takes him up to second in the table, behind only Ralphie himself! :) :)
