The Quaker Oatmeal Box

Paper Summary:

From the Paper:

"The chosen object is a Quaker Oatmeal Box (QOB) which is designed to hold smaller packets of the actual oatmeal product. Typically there are 10 smaller packets of oatmeal that are included inside the box although there are, periodically, special sales QOBs that come with expanded capacities offering a bonus two additional oatmeal packets. However, the object of study is the standard 10 packet QOB. The QOB itself is just over 73/4" in length and just under 5" in height while being almost 3" in width ("Instant")."
