Brussels sprouts

Have you ever been sitting around wondering how many Brussels sprouts you could fit inside a Mini Cooper?

Of course not, because that's a ridiculous proposition.

But apparently, they do things a little differently in the UK, because the answer is 38,182.


The vegetables weighed the equivalent of 29 festive reindeer and if laid out end to end, would be the length of a mile of tinsel, according to the UK's Orange News. After he finished his challenge, the sprouts were painstakingly picked out of the car by hand and taken to a local soup kitchen to be put to good use over the Christmas period.

So there you go. Not that you were ever wondering, but now you know.
