100 pounds sounds like a lot
In this article, I’ll help you visualize how it feels to weigh 100 pounds without the scale
I show you 9 everyday objects that you can use as a reference to get a feel for what 100 pounds is like
It is clear that using agricultural products as a reference may not be the most accurate way of weighing
For example, a standard pumpkin can weigh between 12 and 18 pounds
This means you will need between 5 and 8 of them to gain close to 100 pounds
And what do you do when you stumble across the world’s largest pumpkin, weighing 2,702 pounds?
Similar to pumpkins, punch bags come in all shapes, sizes, and weights
However, if you’re an intermediate boxer or if you aspire to be a boxer, then you might want to get your hands on a 100-pound punch bag
The easiest way to determine how heavy a punch bag is is to divide your weight by 2 and calculate from there
For example, if you weigh between 180 and 200 pounds, a 100-pound punch bag will be suitable for resistance training
If you buy coal at the supermarket, you will come across bags of different sizes
Some places carry large 100-pound bags, of which you only need 1 to hit the 100-pound mark
Then there are smaller bags that weigh between 25 and 50 pounds
You’ll need 4 and 2, respectively, to feel like 100 pounds in your hand
But if you want to get the most out of the keyboard, you should look for a keyboard with 88 keys

A gallon of water weighs about 834 pounds
Measuring the weight of water using the standard British system of measurement is challenging, unlike using the metric system, where 1 ml of water equals 1 gram and 1 liter of water equals 1 kilogram

Multiply that by 2, and you’ll know how many liters of water you need (96)

But if you just want to measure 100 pounds in binder block terms, you’ll need a little less than 3 of those
A single 8×8×16-inch block of binder weighs 35 pounds, so 3 blocks combined should get you past the 100-pound 5-pound mark
Letter-size paper is 85×11 inches and usually comes in 500-sheet reams
A ream of writing paper weighs 5 pounds
So you would have to get your hands on exactly 20 reams of lettering paper to get 100 pounds
The type of material that goes into the sheet will also add or subtract weight, making the 500-sheet ream lighter or heavier
If you look at the weight of a standard soft drink can, it will reveal that it holds 12 fluid ounces of any beverage inside
So if we take the weight of an unopened soft drink can, it will be close to 135 ounces
And since there are 16 ounces per pound, that means how many unopened cans we’ll have to collect to weigh 1,600 ounces
You know, a quarter weighs 5,670 grams
