Loading ...Well, it doesn’t quite taste the same, but it is a little cheaper. The Brick Side: now with options for the economically minded. The Brick Side is a crunchy little webcomic built with LEGO bricks. Part of a healthy breakfast. Just don’t forget the orange juice, bacon, and eggs.
Contest
By the way — anyone care to take a guess at how many 1×1 bricks are in that bowl? 1 guess per person, entered as a comment on this post. If multiple people are correct I will have the computer randomly pick one; 1 winner will be declared. If you are a minor (don’t say so online) you must have your parents permission to enter. I will email the winner to ask for a mailing address to send the prize to (do not list your mailing address in the comments). Prize will bea random Series 1 minifig sealed and sent to you. 
You have til the end of the day, Wednesday July 28 EST to guess. Happy guessing!
My guess is 2145 bricks.
I think 1,589
Guessing 1270.
Let’s try 2345. It’s serial cereal.
235 bricks
2908. And if I’m wrong. So be it.

Wow. Most of you were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. I appreciated @Siabur’s resgination to it being okay if he was wrong. And @cjdoyle’s joke — very clever, and aptly so.
I have a lot of LEGO bricks. All of my “clean, new” brick I keep bagged, boxed, and inventoried so I can keep track of things I use for my sculptures & portraits for Duckingham Design.
So for the bowl of 1x1s I just emptied out a few bags of yellow. 4 to be exact. 4 bags of 100. So I actually had a very round number … and much lower than most of you guessed. 400.
Congratulations to @DAH — you were the closest! A random Series 1 minifig will be on its way to you very very very soon.
And I think we’ll probably have another contest in the near future.
