This is almost certainly wrong (unless there’s a birthday party scene I missed in the movie), but it’s really the best thing to roll off of right now. 60 eggs/day x 365 days x 12 years = 262,800 + (48 x 3) = 262, 980Īssuming that for the first two years of his life he wasn’t eating many “real” foods, much less eggs, the numbers are as follows:Īs with u/gavinc244, I am going to presume for these calculations that when Gaston died he was exactly 27 years old, on the day.Since then, my business has taken quite the hit. Recently, village strongman Gaston fell off a castle. My name is Pierre, and I am the egg farmer in town. Most people moved away, while others tried to pivot towards wolf hunting, but that is hard to monetize.īonjour. It turns out Gaston’s immense egg intake was the economic backbone of our entire village. Before long, the entire village was out of work.
Once Lucas and I went out of business, the girls who would bring us water from the well did as well. On the cholesterol front, that is 16,200 mg, or roughly 54 times the daily recommended amount.Īnd now that he’s grown he eats five dozen eggs so he’s roughly the size of a barge! That’s 300 grams of fat, just on the eggs. It turns out Gaston is actually consuming enough eggs to fuel two very strong and active Gastons based on his breakfast alone! We’re not nutritionists or anything, but we did a little research on the recommended caloric intake for a healthy diet. But because no one stepped in and taught Gaston to slow his roll when he was still young, he’s upped the stakes to five dozen eggs as a grown man.
In eighteenth century France, the Catholic church still had a stronghold and Gaston probably went through the ritualistic confirmation at adolescence instead of infancy. On this one, I debated between thirteen and eighteen. Now we just have to figure out at which point he’s “grown” and transitions from four to five dozen eggs per day. I would say that thirty might be a bit high, but he just looks older than his early-twenties, which is where I would place someone who has left school and hasn’t needed to do anything but take on superficial pursuits. Perhaps he’s a younger brother, or at the very least, his father is still alive and he hasn’t had the responsibilities of running an estate. He seems to have had a decent amount of life experience so far, but when you look at it, these experiences seem limited to hunting and drinking. In his quest to find a wife, we’re never given any indication that he’s been married before for a catch like Gaston, I can’t imagine he can be much older than that while still remaining a bachelor.
So how old is Gaston? I’m going to put him at about thirty. So from the get-go, any number I come up with is going to be an estimate, bummer. Belle’s suitor was added to as part of a French version of the story in 1946, and there is no indication of his age. It’s never stated in the movie, and he isn’t even in the original fairy tale. I realized quickly this wasn’t going to be an exact number: Gaston’s age is nowhere to be found. As someone that sticks to “eggs whites only, please” when I order omelettes, and who has a family history of high cholesterol, I shudder to think what his LDL levels are. So I opened Notepad and Calculator (thank you, trusty comes-with-Windows-programs!) and got to work. This morning when I was brushing my teeth I decided I needed to figure out just how many eggs that was. When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs Ev’ry morning to help me get large And now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs So I’m roughly the size of a barge! We all know the lyrics to the song “Gaston” in Beauty and the Beast:
