    Nah, you will get Diabeetus and die on the spot after finishing those in the same day. So no need to log.

    Now I'm kinda wondering how many calories a candy that big would be.

    I may or may not drove to Walmart 6 in the morning to get a bag of Candy corn.

    Problem:
    How many Calories in that big candy corn?!?

    Known:
    Candy Corns in an Ounce, 1 oz = 36 pieces
    Calories in an ounce of Candy Corn, 1 oz = 104 calories
    Size of Candy Corn, 0.25x0.4x1 ≈ 0.1 inches cubed
    1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

    Assumption:
    That is an average two car garage door.
    Based on that assumption the dimensions of the big Candy Corn will be 8 foot tall, 6 foot wide, and 1 foot deep. Or 48 cubic feet.

    Solution:

    Okay let us start with figuring how many regular Candy Corns are needed to create that big one.

    Large CC = ( (1728 in^3)/(1 foot^3)) x (48 foot^3) = 829440 in^3
    Large CC = (829440 in^3)/(0.1 in^3) = 8294400 regular Candy Corns

    Calories in a Candy Corn = ((104 calories )/(1 oz)) x ((1 oz)/(36 pieces)) = 2.9 calories a piece

    Calories in the Large CC = (8294400 pieces ) x ( 2.9 calories a piece) = 24053760 calories

    So ya... you might have to log that.

    I love the Halloween decorations you made. :)

    I am in the middle of making Dr. Who themed ones. I hope it gets done by the 31st because I am over my head!

    You got me! Candy corn is actually one of the few candies I don't like! Go figure.

    Semantic question: are they candy corns or candies corn?

    But what about factoring in the calorie burn of eating this much food. I would say that much lifting of the arm would make these candy corns (or candies corn) into what so many people believe to be "negative calorie foods". :smile:

    I think that's only true if the candy corn are wrapped in celery.

    I would assume you would have to bite and lick where it stands, or chop it piece by piece. So not much lifting going on with it. Though if you can that make you borderline superman seeing that it weighs 14400 lbs.
