In case anyone would like to throw an event the size of TechEd 2006, here is an idea of the quantity of food and drink that would be consumed.

 

- 1,250,000 pieces of "Mikes & Ikes" will be consumed over the course of a week at Tech Ed 2006

- 18,750 pounds of salad will be prepared and offered at meals

- 83,700 ice cream novelty/ fruit and yogurt bars have been ordered for this function

- 60,000 eggs will be eaten by attendees at breakfast (this is equal to 4,800 dozen cartons of eggs)

- It will take 4 semis to transport the 150,000 bottles of water consumed on this show

- The total amount of fruit ordered will fill 3/4 of full size tractor-trailer

- 1.6 million ounces of coffee will be poured and consumed (conservative estimate)

- More than 50,000 pounds of carbohydrates will be consumed at Tech*Ed (Atkins who?)

- 1,500 table cloths will be used and re-set on a daily basis: (7,500 for the week)

- A minimum of 2,000 antacid tablets are likely to be consumed at this event

 

Ha!, il ne se boira pas de bière???
