How much is…?

S

I’m attempting to calculate my daily snuff intake and, as I lack a scale, was wondering if anybody happens to know how many grams are in a teaspoon of snuff.

G

The question is unanswerable. A gram is a unit of mass, and a teaspoon is a unit of volume. That’s like asking “how many feet are in a pound?” The answer would change with each different snuff.

I

Right. One thing you might try is get a small smash box like 5g and just see how long it last you.

S

Ok, sure - thanks!

How many beans make five?

A

Yeah, i’ve full tins of F&T Princes and Seville and Princes tube is clearly heavier, being quite moist snuff.

T

F&T tubes vary in content as well… sometimes give or take a couple grams…

B

I would say in a teaspoon with an average snuff would be about 3 grams

E

Heaping or level? Carried by African or European swallows? Wait, that was coconuts. Nevermind…

A

Anglo-Irish teaspoon is massive compared to continental or colonial teaspoon.

K

A teaspoon is 5ml and a tablespoon is 15ml. At least that’s how it goes in my neighborhood.

B

I mean the 5 ml one
