Speaking of pie and nutrition, Blue Cross Blue Shield of TN put out a newsletter with some info on watching sugar in your diet.
According to this helpful chart, jelly, pumpkin pie and milkshakes defy all known laws of nutrition and physics.
I'll let you do the math. Hint: A teaspoon of sugar has 4 grams of carbohydrates (basically pure carb) and 16 calories. There are approx. 6 teaspoons in an ounce.

Pretty funny. The 10 oz. malted milkshake would weigh 7.4 pounds.
Hey Nine:
It's even funnier than you previously thought!
Aren't fluid ounces (e.g. teaspoons, etc.) a unit of volume & NOT a unit of weight (such as pounds, which is proportional to mass)? Or, is there a more current system of measurements that I have not been introduced to?
Of course, I should have been thinking of liquid sugar. Maybe they use corn syrup? I must not have been thinking progressively.
Is there a decimal missing or something? Because like Mr. Neal points out there is a volume problem, unless there is a way to compress sugar. I think compounded sugar is what we drink at a bar.
_______________________________________
Trying to not make matters worse.
46 tsp. of sugar would be about right for an entire 8 oz. JAR of jelly.
