How many jelly beans fit in a 1 litre Retro Sweet Jar? ?? ~ I have checked the site and cannot find the answer. I don't know if you have to guess, or the answer is somewhere. This is the site and this is the sweety jar:

Hi Richie Thanks ~ is that a stab in the dark or have you found the answer somewhere?

i went for 370 based on http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090407175005AApWPbI but not sure, seems like one of those fairground guessing games lol

I found this, not sure how accurate it is - does anyone have a jelly bean they can weigh?

If it's right, a jelly bean is about 0.7g. The 1 litre tub weighs 1.5kg according the site (FAQ - jar dimensions)

So I work it out at 1500g/0.7g = 2142. Minus the weight of the jar, which according to first link is about 300 jelly beans. So just over 1800.

Does that sound anything like do you think?? :cool:


ETA Lol, just seen MB's post, huge difference!!

I would think its not so much the weight of the beans, but the size by volume that we need - not idea how to work that out though. I don't like the idea of just filling a jar with sweets, and not know what the weight of what you get. I would have thought that legally they would have to indicate the weight somewhere.
There again, if you are "posh" you wouldn't question value of goods

They do - FAQ Jar Dimensions brings up a chart showing that it weighs 1.5kg.
