How Many Skittles are in a Pack?

Small (45g) Pack
I counted 41 individual Skittles in a 45g snack bag of Skittles. This confirms that the individual weight of 1.1g is correct because 41 times 1.1g equals 45g.
Family (196g) Pack
The total amount of skittles in a 196g family pack is around 178 Skittles (this might vary by one or two per pack because each skittle weighs a slightly different amount).
