   You’ll need to compute the answer in metric tons.

   The fallacy in this is that the body is extremely inefficient at converting calories to heat!

   Allan yes they do - that’s probably why she said kilogram not gram :D (or calorie, not kilocalorie)

   ^She’s using metric primarily because that’s how calories are calculated, and that’s what she’s interested in.

   I agree with Land shark and possible kin if Jason Had saved that all next year, he could of gone as Flame.

   I don’t think I got that much candy though.

   Some chemistry books spell the “1 gram” energy as calorie, and the “kilogram” energy or “kilocalorie” as Calorie (with a capital C). That wouldn’t show up here with the text all capitals. I once read an article by a guy who claimed that the heat your body needs to melt the ice in a cocktail uses up all the calories in the booze and whatever else. But he was using regular calories for the heat and kilocalories for the calories in the drinks, so his conclusion was off by a factor of 1000.

    We Americans use the stupid English system for everything but science, but put our feet down there and actually use… both, making it more confusing! But we do it OUR way. :)

    His mom is wondering how much candy Jason ate. The answer is obvious. He ate all of it.
