Food Minutiae

Did you ever wander how much food the average person will eat in his lifetime?

The answer is about 80,000 pounds or 36,363 kilograms or 5,174 stone or 8 tonnes.

This amount is (roughly) equivalent to:

8 elephants
31.5 Mini Coopers
5,330 Colnago C50 bicycles
80,000 paperback novels
240,000 80GB iPods
360,000 mobile phones
2,400,000 CDs

This information is a fairly accurate guideline unless of course you are Flick.


I reckon Flick ate that much food during the 9.75 years of his college career. And an alarmingly high amount of that food was probably chicken wings.

In addition, I don't want to begin filling this blog with YouTube stuff but if you have 2 minutes free check out this story about a
sick dog. If you have more time (about 10 minutes) check out this story about Batman & Robin. Both are really, really funny.
