Marketing team: "Let's use math to justify our donut holes!"

Some poor mathematician in the back room calculating surface area formulas for toroids while staring at a box of cereal. The formula A=4πR² is for a sphere, not a donut hole. The second formula A=2(π²)Rr is closer, but still not quite right for a toroid.

It's like they googled "math that looks impressive" and slapped it on without checking. Surface area optimization for glaze distribution? Sure, Jan. Next they'll tell us they've solved Fermat's Last Theorem to improve the crunch factor.
