why is there never enough for a full bowl at the end of your cereal packet?

[kazminx]

this does my nut in!! every single last amount of cereal is less than half a bowl..anyone else noticed?? also...who starts a mexican wave? how do they know everyone will follow? sorry but these things are annoying me!!!

[sophie_1003]

weetabix are the only thing you can rely on, and thats only as long everyone has bowls of even number 'bixes! i want to know the mexican wave thing too!! also who starts the chants at football matches?

[Katie~77]

Oh yes, very very annoying. Especially if it's rice crispies and you end up with half a bowl of dust!!!!!x

[sophie_1003]

mueslis the worst for that!! it just goes soggy and yucky!

[kazminx]

im into special K and i have a tantrum at the last bowl thingy!!! id love to be part of a mexican wave but i cant figure it out. maybe they get instructions on a giant screen or something...but its sooooooo perfect. as for the chants!! how can one person start that too!! grrrrrrrrr now i need to head off to the bloody world cup!!

[sophie_1003]

i went to see *cough*busted*cough* and we had mexican waves there but they all seemed to start before us so we could see it coming but not how it started, possibly at concerts its the stewards but i dunno how they do it at football matches!

[tradey]

that really gets to me,the other day i went to get a bowl of sugerpuffs and there wasnt even half a bowl,just lots of dust,ended up having them with some kellogs

[rugeleyboy]

i seem to be the odd one out,i always find it funny i get the perfect amount at the end of a box of cereals!

also i always seem to get a full glass of pop at the end of a bottle of pop!!

the mexican wave thing?????????? god knows??

[kazminx]

talk about 2 different subjects going at once! hehe...thats what i mean, there must be a single person in that giant stadium who stands up and lifts their arms and all of a sudden the whole stadium follows. what if he had just accidentaly sat on a drawing pin..doh!!!

[laurence2]

what?

[kazminx]

well im on the web checking out the mex wave thing, it all started at the soccer world cup in mexico in 1986 and you require at least 25 people to start one but how did they get the message to the other 20 thousand folk who didnt even know what it was...still looking!

[sophie_1003]

ooh i thought it would have started earlier than that, I always thought it was called a mexican wave because it was something to do with how waves (as in on the sea) look like in mexico (duh!)

[kazminx]

what? what? laurence?

[shaneystar2]

very complicated !

I am still searching for the half a bowl of cereal phenomenom!

[laurence2]

Kazminx, Don't you see if theirs enough cereal for the next day before hand?

[sophie_1003]

Found the answer to the cereal thing!!! Well sort of, our box of cheerios is 375g altogether and recommends a 30 g serving with so much semi-skimmed milk, if this is followed it results in 12.5 bowls of cereal! 375/30

[sophie_1003]

what I meant to write was 375/30=12.5

[laurence2]

sophie, And what do you do for a living then?

[kazminx]

so really i should be measuring out my cereal every day..oh and laurence, i never look in the box..it spoils the surprise.....then at the last bowl, a lovely wee tantrum to follow.

[sophie_1003]

why? do i come across as a bit of a geek? lol

[sophie_1003]

yes but you'd either have to have a bit less or a bit more than 30g to make it an even number lol
