SampleSum Contest

Dust off your calculators and try to figure out this SampleSum.

The answers for the two questions below are both numbers. Add the numbers together to get the SampleSum.

1) How many calories are in a stick of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum?

2) How many calories are in a 1/2 cup serving of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream?

To enter this contest, fill in your StartSampling ID and password along with your guess. You may enter the contest as many times as you wish.

In order to give all members an equal chance at winning the contest, we will let each contest run for at least 24 hours. When the contest is over, we will randomly select 10 winners from the pool of correct entries. Each of these winners will receive 50 Frequent Tryer Miles.

Winners will be notified via e-mail. Their first names and home states will appear on the site, with their permission.

This contest began on Wednesday, July 25th at 7:50am CST.

Good Luck!

Hmmm, that's not the number I came up with, after checking out [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

Even if the gum had no calories, do you really think the ice cream only has 180?

When I went to Ben and Jerrys site, it said a "1 cup" serving of Cherry Garcia ice cream had 340 calories in it. Start Sampling is asking how much in "1/2 cup" serving so I divided it in half.
170 for a 1/2 cup serving plus 10 calories in a stick of Wrigleys is 180. Did I do that right?

When *I* went to the B&J site, I found that a 1/2 cup serving of Cherry Garcia ice cream has 260 calories.

However, a 1/2 cup serving of Cherry Garcia *yogurt* has 170 calories.

Unless we're wrong about something else, too, the correct answer is 270. (10 for the gum + 260 for the ice cream)
