Counting by Not Original

Ever 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...












Vote for display of OCD display. And stacking! :D
