Doesn't that make you think twice about popping those little ?

It makes me want to go find a football field to see how many times I can walk back and forth, then go buy a bag of M&M's and eat that many!
I can swim 2500 yards in any hour, so surely I could walk that far. Sure, it might take longer than an hour, but swimming is harder than walking so I'm sure I can walk as far as I can swim. A football field is only 100 yards, so surely I go make it back and forth 25 times. That's 25 M&M's.
In fact, I know I can hike 5 miles on an incline, so I'm sure I could walk that far on a flat surface. That's 8800 yards, which would be 88 times back and forth across that football field. And it would probably only take me three hours (that's how long the 5 mile hike took, with a stop for lunch). That's 88 M&Ms!
