The number of Smarties that can fit in a jar depends on the size of the Smarties and the size of the jar. To calculate this, you would need to determine the volume of one Smartie and the volume of the jar, then divide the volume of the jar by the volume of one Smartie. Keep in mind that packing efficiency and air gaps will also affect the final count.

FranThe diameter of a Smartie is 1cm so so r = .005, and its height is 4mm. With negligibly concave ends, the volume of a smartie is pi (5E-3)^2*4E-3 = pi*1E-7 m^3. A 16 oz jar where 1 oz ~ 30 ml, 1 jar ~ 0.5 L = 10cm x 10cm x 4.8cm = 4.8E-4 m^3. Circles pack hexogonally into a square area with an optimal density 1/6 pi root 3 which is approx 0.9069. Figure a random packing is about 10% less than optimal, shaken and settled gives a density more like .82 of the volume. If this is a good assumption, then 0.82 * 4.8E-4 / pi*1E-7 = 1253 smarties / 16 oz jar.

How many candies can fit in a half gallon jar?
The answer depends on how big the candies are!
How many dimes fit in a 1 gallon jar?
To determine how many dimes can fit in a 1-gallon jar, we first need to calculate the volume of a dime. A dime has a diameter of 0.705 inches and a thickness of 0.053 inches, resulting in a volume of approximately 0.008 cubic inches. A gallon is equivalent to 231 cubic inches. By dividing the volume of the jar by the volume of a dime, we can estimate that around 28,875 dimes can fit in a 1-gallon jar.
How many candy hearts can fit in a 32 oz jar?
Put a flat layer of hearts on the bottom and count them. Estimate how many layers can fit into the jar and multiply.
