April 27th, 31 cent Scoop Night

April 27th will be spent like this: I'm going to print out a map of all the Baskin Robbins in Middle Tennessee within 50 miles of me on the 26th and draw myself a route/loop between them all. I'll empty my change jar the following morning and drive around between 5-10pm eating ice cream between stores.

Mathematical breakdown/facts:
That's 20 Baskin Robbins stores.
If I'm allowed 3 scoops per store, priced at $0.31 each, I'll spend roughly $1 at each store with tax included. That's $20 in ice cream, assuming I hit them each up only once. That's 60 scoops in one day. Calorie-wise, I'm going to consume, on average, 260 calories per scoop, or 780 calories for a 3-scooper (again, average). Now multiply that by 20 for each store I'll visit, and I'll consume a whopping 15,600 calories in 5 hours. That's almost 8 days' worth of caloric intake for one person.

Here's my route:
It's 290 miles long.
It'll take me 6 hours and 27 minutes.
Let me know if you want to tag along.
(Oh, and wear your stretchy pants.)
