It's December! | #SciSparksAdvent

It's finally December, time to crack open the first door on your advent calendar as there's only 25 days to go until the big day!



Every day until the 25th December I'll be posting every day on Christmas science, to the highlights of the year, keep updated by following me on Twitter @Sci_Sparks and keep your eye out for new posts here!


To get into the Christmas spirit I thought I'd start off by looking at Santa - question is, what would happen if he ate all those sweets?


He'd actually have late onset diabetes by the time he was three hours into his night shift! If you assume every household the world over leaves two chocolate chip cookies, he'd be consuming 170 calories, 8g of fat and 14g of sugar in every household. This means he consumes 374 billion calories, 33,000 tonnes of sugar and 151,000 tonnes of fat - enough to keep him going for the new year!!! Still, who said chocolate chip cookies weren't delicious?? :)
