Call me wrong, it doesn't matter. I sifted the barely used volume of
flour from my old container into my new container and it barely made
half way. Okay! Let's say flour is sold as 5 lbs and what I had was
4.5. There's no way a full 5 lb bag could come close to filling it
up. 'Nuff said. Nobody told me what I needed to know.
