Food Count BFC v STOKE Wed. 1/1/25

Post by Eloise Laws » Mon Dec 30, 2024 12:43 am

After a CRACKING Christmas, I bring you the first food count of 2025

How many COMPLETE Ritz Crackers are in the box - and guess the weight of the empty box

10 points for correct guesses. If no one correct, 5points awarded to the nearest.

I've eaten the contents and the packaging in the past and it felt like that I had consumed something in the region of a cricket bat.

The whole lot could be around 2 Pounds 10 Ounces.

Does that help ?

Some 60 years ago these + cheddar cheese were my regular student diet.
Anyway enough reminiscing, I'm going for 38 crackers and 29g for the weight of the box.

Decisions Decisions Will the crackers be packed like biscuits in rows OR packed like crisps in a bag ?
So potentially more broken ones if packed like crisps.
Hoping the box has been carefully looked after I'll go for
36 whole crackers
30g for the empty box

But could be totally wrong if it is a life size Bertie Bee holding the box!
