\nToday I was eating cornbread with molasses. The carton of molasses was the 675ml size, and was nearly empty. Eventually, no more would pour out.<\/p>\n
\nI also had a new carton of molasses. Therefore, I was tempted to open it, and just toss out the nearly-empty one. However, the nearly-empty one still had molasses in it; I could feel by its weight that it must. I wondered how much, so decided to check. I opened its gable top and proceeded to scoop out the molasses it yet contained, which pretty much added up to a level tablespoon.<\/p>\n
\nA tablespoon is 15ml, and the carton is 675ml: 1\/45, or about 2.2%, of its molasses had remained in it when it refused to pour.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs it turned out, I didn’t need more than that, so didn’t open the new carton.<\/p>\n
