The fact that black holes have an entropy which depends only on their surface area has been used to argue for fundamental bounds on the entropy of objects. The suggestion has been that such bounds should be respected by any consistent quantum theory of gravity. Here we review arguments for the so-called `Bekenstein Bound' and propose a change in interpretation. Instead of leading logically to fundamental entropy bounds, we find that such arguments open the door to observational constraints on the amount of entropy an object of size R and energy E can possess in our universe.
