How many meatballs in a MINI?

I was checking out the ZipCar homepage and noticed the following banner fly by in the "Did you know?" call out box in the lower right of the page:

You can fit 33,000 IKEA meatballs in a MINI (yes, we tried once).

Makes me wonder how hard they tried. I would have thought it would have made the news somewhere. Anyway, I can't imagine anyone defiling their MINI in such a manner. Maybe they kept them wrapped. If not...

# of college students I can see. But meatballs?

Mmm, Swedish meatballs. I'm sure if the MINI had tastebuds it would have seemed more humane.

If it's exam week, the college students will leave more of an odor than the meatballs.

Have you seen Meathead lately? You could never get 2 of him in the back seat!

Those were the days . . .

'Struth. They were frozen in bags @ the time. IKEA and ZipCar have a long relationship in Boston. No Mini's were injured in the experiment.

.......still!! Weird. Is there a single website to see what other ODD items others have tried to fit in the MINI? I know there's a thread for "what have you packed in the MINI" but this is slightly different......
