Morning all.

Todays foodcount for the Baggies is a 41g box of Pocky cookies and cream. They're like thin biscuit sticks dipped in chocolate.

Image

I'll be looking for

Number of sticks

Weight of cardboard box and foil bag packaging

Happy guessing, I'll close an hour or so before the game on Tues. Good luck!

UTC!

Wtf Tarky ... never heard of these bad boys πŸ€”.

OK will take a blind guess at

14 whole Pockles ...
Foil bag 4g ...
Cardboard Box 15g ...

This is completely blind territory now 🀣.

Heres to 3 points and maybe topping the table on Tuesday πŸ‘.

Given that the items to be counted were specified on 2 separate lines, rather than 3, then I was assuming that the weight of the box, and foil packaging, should be submitted as a single score?

That was intended but I'll do them separately.

As usual 10/5 PTS for each correct / closest answer.

And its been an absolute disaster. They're smashed to pieces. Normally (well from my usual Korean shop) they're in pristine condition. Bloody London Chinatown tourist trap dump I got these from!

Anyway, a bit of careful forensic piecing together, I think we can agree theyre all whole and the count comes to 18.

The foil weighing in at a tiny 1g which didn't even register on the scale for a second. Finally the box came in at 13g.

So that makes it

10 points for BIGF and ZOONIVERSER for a bang on guess of 18 stick

10 points each for claretblue, claretmisterg, croydonclaret, dingledangle, leslatchamfanclub for an exact foil guess of 1g - wow, have we ever handed out so many points on a single item!?

10 points each to Eloise_laws and jasper64 for a bang on box guess of 13g.

Thank you all for playing. Heres to 3 pts tonight and UTC!

(Bur 3-1 WBA)
