Abstract

This paper investigates the sonic boom generated by crunchy foods. Specifically, the force required to tip over an empty cereal box 0.1 m from a person’s mouth is calculated to be 8.37x10^-10 N. It would take the force of 29 million people crunching in unison to generate the required 2.45x10^-2 N to tip over the box.
