The kezayit measure for pretzels

Question

Hello, Rabbi.
How many small figure-eight pretzels require the blessing of Me’ein Shalosh?

Answer

Hello and blessings. 

The volume is approximately that of a small matchbox. 

Large empty spaces are not included in calculating the volume. 

It is difficult to give a number, since there are differences between manufacturers. 

As an estimate, it is about 15 pieces.
