Just for reference, when announcing the final results, could you please also include the number of snaps, crackles and pops? Milk might be required! Cheers!

Haha, sorry I'm new to this game. Yeah stick 19 down. Use the .3 in case of a decider.

Right. The results are finally in.

I've obviously not had Rice Krispies for about 25 years since I couldn't remember quite how small they were and if i knew, i'd never have chosen them. (The guess I had in my own head was something like 320)

Ayways, there were 1232 of the little bastards and the box weighed in at 12g.

Zooniversers guess of 1241 was staggeringly close to the actual number - earns him 10 points

Box weight of 12 sees Dawlish and MDD2 take 5 bonus points each.

Thanks all for playing!

Updated points table :-

1st
Les latcham fan club 30 points

Joint 2nd
Claretmisterg 20 points
Croydon Claret 20 points

Joint 4th
BigF 10 points
BossCat 10 points
Dawlish Claret 10 points
Eloise Laws 10 points
tarkys_ears 10 points
Zooniverser 10 points

Joint 7th
jdrobbo 5 points
Longsider 5 points
mdd2 5 points

Congratulations to our points scorers :-

An excellent 10 points sees Zooniverser come onto the points table in joint 4th place where he is joined by Dawlish Claret, scoring an additional 5 points, and tarkys_ears, earning an additional 5 points for counting. mdd2, also scoring 5 points, enters the leader board in joint 7th place.

Thanks again to tarky for the count and to everybody who took part. Seeing the mini Rice Krispies carton brought back many happy memories of variety packs when my now grown up kids were little.

Let's hope the food counting gods give the lads the snap, crackle and pop they will need to upset the whinging scouse gits and deliver victory in the footballing contest to come.

Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.
