The question isn't How long should it take to eat a whole box of Thin Mints? . That mathematical number is actually an absolute constant.
The proper question is: how many Thin Mints can you fit in your mouth at one time? Answer that, and use the variable: I have x ounces of milk available, and you come up with the universal constant of how long a box of Thin Mints might last.
