After recently attending the retirement ceremony for my rusted-out and falling-apart ancient propane gas barbecue grill, I replaced it with my first charcoal grill in 22 years. Getting ready for the Fourth you know.
But when buying my first bag of charcoal in these same 22 years, I find that my former favorite fuel- a 20 pound bag of Kingsford Briquets- now weighs only 18.6 pounds.
Guess I shouldn't be too surprised as a five pound bag of sugar now weighs four pounds, a pound-bag of ground coffee contains but 11.5 ounces and most horridly, a half-gallon bottle of Scotch now is only
1.75 liters.Milk and gas are next, I guess......
