cover a Real Ford Taurus in chocolate?

ANSWERED in post 8 below ~~~~~

so my husband unearthed an ancient mail box news from looong ago

in it evelyn fryatt reported that there was a delicious promotion at a car dealership called

"the sweetest deal in town"

evelyn's twin sons covered a real ford taurus in 'chocolate'

(they actually used confectioner's coating aka almond bark same/same as chocolate)

they then star tipped the bumpers, hub caps, door handles and mirrors with royal icing

(windows were not covered)

the prize was to see who could guess how much 'chocolate' they used

  let's see who amongst us can get the closest answers

so two questions:

1. how many hours do you think it took the twins to do the deed
2. how many pounds of chocolate did it take????

answer revealed in one week

if you have old mbns please play along without letting on or revealing early -thanks!

just thought it might be a fun brain teaser --come on you might be the grand prize winner!!!

of full blown bragging rights!!!

all right everybody been concentrating hard on this one???

you've had 24 hours now

so figure you were going to do the chocolatizing the taurus--

how many pounds of 'chocolate' would you buy???

how much do you think would be used of that???

think you'd have to go back to the store for more???

come on, get the pencils sharpened up!!! do some cyphering!!!

break out the slide rules & the abacuses

come on, somebody break the ice!!

41 pounds

10 hours
