Just ask this bloke? He'll know *exactly* how many... 😉



When you went to "the shop" for a Bag o' sweets etc. 😛

It would be easier to weigh them rather than counting......if you filled the 1 litre jar with smarties.....weighed it.....emptied the smarties out...weighed the jar again and then weighed an individual smarty....

Easy peasy....

 

....hold on....

 

Is the singular form of smarties.....smarty or smartie ?

This is probably DEFINITIVE! You can watch the whole thing tho...
