Aldi Sliced Water Chestnuts in Water 225g

Post by RalphCoatesComb » Fri Dec 03, 2021 2:00 pm

A difficult trip to St James' Park (Don't forget your binoculars if you are going) calls for a difficult challenge for the Tinned Food Count.

As you can see, this is a smaller tin than usual but do not be lured into a false sense of security. Just as Allan Saint-Maximin will make it difficult for us on the pitch, these little beauties will make it difficult for our counters.

Having said all of that, your task is simple - determine how many slices of delicious water chestnut are con-tinned in this small, but beautifully crafted, tin?

The 50p piece is merely to give a sense of scale.

Drainage will commence at 13.00 tomorrow and the result will be revealed at 14.00.

As usual, it's 5 points for the correct number of slices and 3 points for the exact amount of water.

Can someone post a table of up-to-date scores? (Taa)

I see that one or two estimates are the same. Rather than oining the life out of folk, we'll let them ride and share the points if required.

Anyone got an up-to-date table so that I can add to it later?
