What's worse, as I've mentioned before, is a pint of tomatoes (551 ml) versus loose tomatoes priced by mass. To me 551 ml of tomatoes means that if I dunk the tomatoes in water, they displace 551 ml. They don't weigh anywhere near 551 g, and unlike their capsicum relatives, they don't have big air spaces inside, so it's obvious that whoever measured them included the air interstices. Pierre
