How heavy is a malteser?

How many calories per malteser?

This is temptation to go out, buy Maltesers, weigh them and then eat them...

We have a box weighing 360g, and measuring in at 505 kcal per 100g. Estimating the number of maltesers in the box is proving tricky, especially as it seems to be shrinking every time we pick the box up.

According to the advertising, they're lighter than air. Dunno about the calories thing though.

Simple experiment.

Ensure you are in an air-filled environment.
Hold malteser above mouth.
Release grip.

Result: malteser falls into mouth.

Conclusion: malteser is not lighter than air.

Secondary conclusion: maltesers are more-ish.

Report them to the ASA!

A white chocolate malteser or a milk chocolate one? Apparently the white ones are lighter.

A small bag of milk ones weighs 37gm and contains an average of 16 = 2.31gm per malteser.

16 white ones weigh 35gm, = 2.18gm

And yes, now I must go out and buy a box.

Two boxes...

Thank you!

Rather depressingly, this means that if you were to put Maltesers on the ground at intervals such that you would burn as much energy walking to the next Malteser as you get from it, they would be about 50 metres apart.

That is depressing.

...I am oddly fascinated by this mental image, depressing as it is.

I'm now wondering if this is the origin of the whole "trail of breadcrumbs" thing. Perhaps, long ago, it was a primitive weight-loss regimen for young noblemen in military training. Unfortunately, the primitive birds didn't co-operate, and tended to steal most of the breadcrumbs, causing excessive weight loss, puny knights and lost battles, so our forefathers turned to the Wii Fitte instead, and the breadcrumb thing became relegated to childhood tales, as a convenient device for lost orphans to find their way in the wood.

Wii Fitte... the decadent modern contraction of 'We Fight!'

Just like the Sunday archery practice ordered by Henry ?th degenerating into pub darts.

Ah, to have lived in the Age Of Heroes.

*Sigh*

I miss maltesers

I first worked it out long ago for Pringles. Don't even think about how far you'd walk for a whole tin.
