> 3,300 one-pound bags of sugar Ah, but how many one pound bags of concrete could it hold?? Why bags of anything? This is a poor way of communicating weight. Just say "a modern passenger car".

#92> Thats’s comparable to a single strand of spaghetti holding up about 3,300 one-pound bags of sugar What an odd example. A mid-sized car would have been much clearer.
> 3,300 one-pound bags of sugar Woah that must weigh almost 3,301 pounds!

Sorry I only understand football field based units of measurement
A football field is by far a better measurement than 3300 one pound bags of sugar.
I still don’t know how they even compare.

"A modern passenger car" varies widely depending on what locale the reader is in. A passenger car in Jakarta is not at all the same as a passenger car in Los Angeles. Can we just use Kilograms?

It is not if all you know are football fields and not American football fields. I still don’t know how they even compare.

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)
A car is more easier to picture for me.
