Here’s the cold, hard fact: a single gallon of water weighs a whopping 8.34 pounds. That’s right—almost the weight of a newborn baby, just sitting there on your counter.
Think about that the next time you hoist a jug from the grocery store. It’s a little workout you didn’t sign up for.
And if you’re measuring in cups? Well, a gallon is exactly 16 cups of water. That’s enough liquid to fill a small punch bowl at your kid's birthday party.
