Busy friday afternoon at the office
e-mail to Mars/masterfoods uk:
Dear Sir,
Please can you help us solve an office dispute. We are wondering what is the standard size of a malteser.
This debate begun last Christmas when a 'fact' in a window of our Malterser advent calender stated how many Maltersers it took to go around the world. In measuring the maltesers we found behind each window we realised there is quite a large deviation in the size of each ball. Because we only got one ball per window per day, we found it hard to acrue a large enough sample to acurately determine the average diameter.
There must be a size that your Malteser machine aims to produce - what would this be?
We are considering using the malteser as a standard unit of measurement but can't do this until we have a definitive answer to this important question.
Your Faithfully,

Oooh, good question. And one I have been meaning to look into myself. I do hope you get a decent response from them.
Any response from them yet? If not, I suggest we boycott their products, or burn down their factory or something.
Did you get a reply to this?
My girlfriend's got a Maltesers advent calendar this year. One of the facts stated that the tallest man in the world is approximately the same height as 181 Maltesers stacked on top of each other.
P.S. It just has normal chocolates behind each door - apart from the last day, when you get a fun-sized bag of Maltesers - which I think is a bit of a rip off. I mean, I can understand why my Mars bar advent calendar doesn't have a standard Mars bar behind each door (that would just be silly) but why can't they put a tiny Malteser behind each door? Rubbish!
no response as yet - miserable bastards.
