Nestle get their maths wrong!

According to Nestle the makers of Smarties, Canadians eat enough Smarties to go round the Earth 350 times. A Grade 6 maths class in Ontario decided to put this claim to the test. It seems Nestle were wrong!

You can check their maths: according to Nestle Canadians eat 4 billion Smarties a year - the circumference of the Earth is approximately 40 000 km.
