Counting by Not Original

October 27th, 2012 7:56 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Count or measure something that has never been counted or measured before. How many CDs can you label with one sharpie? How long does it take for all the ketchup to run out of the bottle? How many times does a trafic light change in an hour? How many licks does it taket to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

What do you wonder about? Find out and let us know.

main_7107154.jpgEver wondered how many Cheerios are in a box? Of course, there are boxes of various sizes, so let's take the average size box--14 oz. I counted 304 Cheerios in a cup, and there are 14.142857 cups in a box (I converted the grams in the box to get here). So there are 4,299 Cheerios in the box.

I didn't want to stop there, so I analyzed the nutritional content. If there are 100 calories in an 8 oz. serving, then there is 0.3289474 of a calorie in one Cheerio (Take that, Tic Tac!). There is 0.0065789 of a gram of fat, 0.5263158 of a milligram of sodium, and 0.5592105 of a gram of potassium.

I had a little fun and decided to see how many Cheerios I could stack. I could only get up to 10, but I'm sure if I had a little more patience and chose my Cheerios more carefully, I could stack more.

Of course, it came time to eat the Cheerios...main_12107157.jpg

But what is the nutritional content of a single Cheerio?
