How much sugar is in a teaspoon?

[Humberto]

5 g?

 

[Humberto]

I Googled it and the answer is around 4 - 8 g.

This raises the next question: if a slab of chocolate contains around 60 g of sugar, why is this seen as so unhealthy? That's maybe three or four cups of coffee's sugar.

Depends whether heaped spoon or not.

This raises the question of whether you've heard of Google.

 

[Haldex]

I've got ninja balancing skills, can fit 7g on a teaspoon.

Long live Wolfram Alpha.

Of course, the weight depends on the substance.

One teaspoon of flour is unlikely to weigh the same as one teaspoon of mercury.

0g... teaspoons are made out of metal.

 

[Datura]

There is no spoon.

unlimited mana?

There is no spoon.

Woah!

Its volume based, 5ml, not weight based.

Its volume based, 5ml, not weight based.

But then if you calculate the density of sugar, multiplied by the volume...

You end up looking like a dork

I'm missing something in your argument...

A level teaspoon is 5ml of anything, how is that dorkish?
