    Tikay, if I open up a cash table, click 'sit down', watch as I wait for the BB, click 'stand' before it gets to me.... Does this count? :)

    The world's biggest turkey was 166lb!
    Named Terry by the owners.
    Terry the Turkey.

    Another Christmas related Interesting fact, is the UK sales of Terry's chocolate Orange.
    If every chocolate orange purchased in December was stacked one on top of each other, it would reach Venus.
    It's true, I measured a box and looked at sales figures and worked it out all proper like.

     Much as i hate to argue with you. But it obviously excessive rake that Terry' charge( difference between size of orange and size of box). It is clear that any statement about them is -EV. Whereas if you go for the more traditional Dairy milk, this comes with considerably less rake and therefore a much more +EV situation to find yourself in

    Point taken Talon, but I find the ROI with Chocolate Orange outweighs the rake dilemma.
    Also, any normal person can get through half a dozen chocolate oranges, but after say a dozen bars (same weight in chocolate) of Dairy Milk it starts to get a little bit claggy.

    no way
    it's not possible
    it would fall over before you got there for sure
    i know cos i tried

    however if you just used the actual chocolate in it you might get as far as tikay's abode.

    120,248,988,000,000 unless you are talking Mini Twiglets in which case I have no idea.

    Surely the distance from the Earth to Venus and Uranus is continually changing depending on the relative position of the planets in their orbits around the sun?

    Therefore both the chocolate orange and twiglet answers have to be wrong - probably?

     Are you including the width of the solvent required to connect them because that will affect the figures but maybe not the taste

    Worse case scenario, assumed it was at the further distance (don't mention I used the centre of the Sun as the starting point).

    Nah, figured since there is no gravity* you could just put them in position and they would stay there.  Hopefully no pesky satellites or planets will knock into them.  That would just be annoying.

    *E&O excluded including end point gravitation
