Ask a dumb question..

CIM classes. Marketing Research. Lecturer happens to mention how great it would be if someone came up with a smaller packet of milk powder,

'It'd sell like hot cakes!'

Guy sitting in front : 'someone already did'

Lecturer: 'Really? how big is it?'

Guy: '150 grams?'

Lecturer thinks a bit, then suddenly asks;

'Hey how many cups of tea can you make with 150grams of milk powder?'

Girl sitting in front (after some mental calculation probably, cos she took some time to answer); 'Three Hundred?'

Me: (to myself) 'thats effing half a gram of milk for every cup of tea!' (then quietly trying to laugh my head off but not being too successful. but thats OK since quite a lot of others are also laughing their heads off by now.)

Lecturer: No hey dont laugh, now these are things we should know..(pauses, thinks a bit...) three hundred cups? you're sure?

Oh well... ask a dumb question......

Lol yeah well she COULD have been making plain tea who knows but then again, thatwould be an INFINITE number of cups from one packet of milk! an im with you on the cakes yum yum.

and yeah LD i was in the right class, strangely enough heh.

and St. Fallen, i was trying to figure it out myself actually, the lecturer seemed to be happy with 50 cups on the end but even thats waay too optimistic.
