Title: How Many Peanut M&Ms In The Jar
Post by: Henry on December 08, 2008, 09:00:53 AM

I haven't seen it yet, but will have to check it out.  I understand that J & L Hardware has a big jar of M&M Peanuts in a jar and you have to guess how many there are.  Not sure what the prize is, but if it is the big jar of M&M Peanuts, that will do.  Was in the store twice last week and never noticed it.  Not one to look around much, usually go in for a purpose and that is it.  My quest was 25 watt bulbs for my Manger Scene.

Maybe I should take a picture of it and have my wife give a guess.  Back in the 1950s she was down in Burlington and Sears & Roebuck had a washing machine full of buttons and you had to guess how many buttons were in there.  Maryann guessed and was the winner of a nice new Television Set.  And thats the story on how the Hoben Family got their first television set back in the 1950s.

And the number of M & Ms in the jar at J & L Hardware was 2525.

My Guess was 1100.  Don't know who the winner was, but maybe Lena will send me a note on the winner.

The winner of the tool bag was Cory Valyou and the M & M was won by a Ken or Kevin Desso.
