Twix for a Lifetime

Last week, a promotional company called me at IU South Bend and said they had delivered a bunch of cartons of Twix bars to Notre Dame to give away (this was a new Twix made with peanut butter and chocolate wafers). They ended up with more than they needed so they asked me if I'd want some to give away at new student orientation or any other events. I said sure. I asked how many they had, and he said, "20 cartons." I assumed this to mean 20 cartons of 24 candy bars.

The delivery came, and in comes 10 BOXES of candy bars. Each box had 12 cartons of 24 candy bars. Furthermore, that was only half of the delivery. The delivery guy goes out and brings in 1o more boxes. So, I now have 20 boxes of Twix bars in my office. If you want to do the math, that is a total of 5,760 candy bars.

I like Twix, but not that much. For my family reading this, don't be surprised if Twix bars end up as presents this year.
