Two pounds sugar to one ton concrete? 1 yard of concrete is about 2-2.5 tons and one truck holds between 8-10 yards. That’s between 32 and 50 pounds of sugar per truckload.
Thats a lot of sugar.
You can get a 50 pound bag of sugar at Costco for under $40.
But not in occupied France, which kinda makes me suspicious of the post.
Occupied France as in WW2? This post specifically says 1980s. I'm fairly sure they had normal access to groceries during that time.
It would have been in kilograms by then though.
Yes I definitely missed that.
