How much chocolates (aero, kitkate, skittles) would be inside a about 2000 ML jar and if I counted (predicted about) 14/15 chocolates per side (not counted the inside) How many (only inside boxes)?

1 answer

To estimate how many chocolates would fit inside a 2000 ML jar, we need to consider the average size of the chocolates you've mentioned (Aero, KitKat, Skittles) and their packaging.

  1. Volume Estimation:
    • Aero Bar: Approximately 40g for a regular bar, roughly 10 mL (depends on the specific size).
    • KitKat: A standard 4-finger KitKat bar is about 45g, roughly 12 mL.
    • Skittles: About 38g for a regular bag, around 12 mL.

For calculation, we'll consider an average size for each type of chocolate:

  • Let's assume an average volume of 10-12 mL per Aero or KitKat and about 12 mL for a portion of Skittles.
  1. Estimating the Number of Chocolates:
    • Since you mentioned counting approximately 14-15 chocolates per side on the outside, we'll consider how that relates to the inside volume.
    • If the jar is filled solely with chocolates and we account for some air gaps, we can assume that about 60-70% of the jar’s volume can be filled with chocolates.

So, with a total volume of 2000 mL:

  • Effective volume for chocolates = 2000 mL * 0.6 (considering gaps) = 1200 mL.
  1. Calculating Total Chocolates Inside: Let's consider a rough figure of 12 mL per chocolate (averaging across Aero, KitKat, and Skittles):
  • Total chocolates = Effective volume / Average volume per chocolate
  • Total chocolates = 1200 mL / 12 mL = 100 chocolates

Thus, you can estimate that about 100 chocolates could fit inside a 2000 mL jar, depending on their sizes and how well they pack together. Adjustments can be made based on more precise measurements of the chocolates themselves.
