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.
The 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.
