I think that 28oz of dark chocolate, whether weight or volume, would be a ludicrous amount to eat in one sitting. A chocolate bar is about 1.5 oz (and 1 fluid ounce of water weighs 1 ounce, at least to a rough approximation), so to eat 28 you'd need to eat nearly 20 chocolate bars.
For that matter 24oz is rather a lot of coffee to drink at once. I brew my daily coffee with 200g of water, or only about 7 floz.
- garciasn 2y agoWhile I realize I'm an outlier, I do NOT consider 24oz of coffee a lot, nor does anyone I know--that's literally a standard coffee cup at a coffee shop these days. At a minimum, I'm drinking 3 pots (~180oz) of coffee a day, with my usual being 3-4x that amount. So; with that said, while I believe that eating 28oz of chocolate is a lot, I guess it could happen :-)
- recursive 2y agoHN is crazy for outliers. We have the lady who gets wired off a chocolate bar, and the guy who drinks over a gallon per day. But anyway, I've been to a coffee shop or two, and I've never seen a "standard cup" as anything other than 12 ounces.
- delecti 2y agoWait, on a typical day you're drinking 4-5.5 gallons of coffee? 180oz * 3-4? So 540-720oz? That's not just an outlier, that's absurd. At 100mg caffeine per 8oz of coffee, that's over 6 grams of coffee per day, or more than 15 times the amount generally considered safe.
- recursive 2y agoNot to diminish the outlandishness, but I think the parenthetical is misapplied. (3 pots of coffee) is about (180 oz).
- delecti 2y agoBut the comment also said "with my usual being 3-4x that amount". I don't know how to square the math in that comment except to interpret it as "180oz is my minimum, my usual is 3-4 times as much as 180oz".
