But everyone knows, by experience, what 3300 individual roughly one pound bags of sugar weighs and what sort of force is needed to hold it up. Mid sized car is ambiguous, and nobody saw anybody hold that up (seeing hulk doesn't count)

[jaapz]

You think people are better at estimating what 3300 bags of sugar look like - as opposed to estimating the size of a car?

How often has anyone ever seen 3300 bags of sugar together in their lives, do you think?

[Loughla]

But what is it in football fields?

That's the usual measurement of size in the States and it's absolutely unbelievably ridiculous.

[Aloha]

109m is a perfectly sensible measurement

Do they? I don't recall ever seeing a bag of sugar in my life. I'm not a baker though so maybe that explains it.

A car is more easier to picture for me.

Do you not go to supermarkets or grocery stores?

[ninalanyon]

You must be from the US.

[dmoy]

I am from the US and buy bags of sugar.

What else does sugar come in? If not bags? I don't think I've ever bought sugar in something other than a bag.

[paradox460]

Buckets and pallets if you want more

[saberience]

I'm from Europe, I never buy sugar, why would I? I don't want more sugar in my diet.

It looks like a bag of flour. So you know what it looks like, don’t play dumb.

[saberience]

I'm a guy who never cooks, I have no incentive to play dumb. I don't buy flour or sugar or other random raw ingredients in bulk. The closest I get is maybe a jar of coffee.

[throw1234567891]

There you go, it looks like a jar with roughly 380 grams of coffee. Since you mention a jar, I assume you mean instant coffee. Your jar will be a bit taller than the packet of sugar with a similar surface area. A pound is a pound. It doesn’t matter if it’s 3300 pounds of feathers, or coffee, or sugar.

Not Mary Berry, then. Or anyone else who ever baked a cake. Or cooked, really.

I hate sugar in food, but some recipes use sugar to balance acidity (e.g. tomato ketchup).
