10 000 bars of chocolate

According to a British documentary the average person will eat over 10 000 bars of chocolate, shed over 121 pints of tears and have sex over 4 200 times.

The programme's producer Nick Nick Watts came up with the idea for the documentary three years ago while having a pint of beer in a pub wondering much how full a swimming pool would become if he tipped all the beer he drank in a lifetime into it. One of the weirder things that have come out of a visit to the pub I might say. But never less a fun idea when realised.
The show takes viewers on a journey from babyhood, when we get through 3 796 nappies and produce 254 litres of urine, through to old age and death, by which time we will have eaten 10 866 carrots, taken 7 163 baths and passed wind an average of 15 times a day.

Apparently we will know 10 people who committed suicide, nine who died in road accidents and one in a fire.
