Sometimes bad news can be swiftly followed by good. Our Ailana has decided to leave us and set up her own little PR agency. Tomorrow is her last day at Fruit Towers and she asked one of her new clients to send in a few crisps for her leaving do. And he duly did so.
So thanks to Jonty at Burts we think we'll have enough crisps to get us through at least a week. And he's promised to send a box of crisps to the person that guesses correctly how many packets are in this pile. Your favourite flavour and everything. Answers on a postcard (or as a comment below) by midday on Friday 23rd.
No more time to write, we've got lots of potatoes to get through. PS if we get more than one correct answer, we'll draw the winner out of a hat.
I believe there are 600 packets.

Hey, does someone know how to get in touch with Ailana's PR office? Is her web site allready in the offing? Or blog?
-please- :)
My bet >> 30 boxes x 24 packets in one box = 720 packets

Hello.
Ailana has just told me the total was 1,136 packets.
So the winner is ben reynolds who was only 160 packets out with 1,296.
Well done ben reynolds.
Our Hannah will be in contact, she's out today but will be back next week hopefully.

625 bags of crisps
Posted by: Emily | May 23, 2008 at 07:00 PM
hmm, I think x15 big boxes of 100 and x15 boxes of x50 so 2250? but it's cheating if you'd already started munching...

OOOHHHHHH I LOVE Burts!! Their beetroot and horseradish flavour is my favourite camping crisp companion. Actually, I like them all.....
Anyway, I think you have:
30 boxes (11 large boxes, 17 smaller boxes and 2 1/2 size boxes)
In the 11 large boxes I think there are 16 large bags = 176 bags
In the 17 smaller boxes I think there are 20 small bags = 340
In the 1/2 size boxes I think there are 8 large bags = 16 bags.
So in total I think there are 532 bags (192 large, 340 small)
Am I right??
