Another reason math RULES...

How MegaStuff'd are Mega Stuff'd oreos you might ask?

If you ever thought high school math wasn't useful in real life, take a look at what the students in Dan Anderson's class discovered.

The upstate New York high school teacher tasked the students in his "Consumer Math" course in the spring with determining whether Nabisco's Double Stuf and Mega Stuf Oreos really are, indeed, double and mega stuffed.

"This class is for students struggling with math so I'm always looking for hands-on activities," Anderson, who teaches in Queensbury, N.Y., told ABCNews.com today. "When the Mega Stuf Oreos came out, I decided to do it."

Thing is... it's turns out to Nabisco "Double Stuff" actually means 1.68 times the stuff, and Mega stuff only means 2.68 times the stuff.



Either way as long as there is in fact "stuff" involved I am good...

2. Yah it makes me want to go shopping.

I love the show, it's on the Science channel and is called "How it's Made". Most episodes are available for free online and there are some pretty amazing ones.

Right up there with Critical Thinking and Media Awareness.
