Augmented reality.
Assuming that the counter read “00000” when first produced: the physical “steps” this pedometer registered from production to packaging; cereal box; conveyor; palate; forklift; truck; forklift; cart; shelf; floor; shelf; basket; checkout; bag; pour, pour, pour—drop = 7892.
My 5km run with the same calibration registered close to 3300 steps... about half of that accumulated on its journey from factory to home.

Great find. I'd like to get ten of these Special K boxes and compare the pedometres and see if there's a direct relation between distance travelled from the factory and the reading.
