Were you checking the weight of an unopened jug to see if it's as advertised?

Anybody have the weight of a 1lb empty as well? Useful info for buying or selling a partial container since you can just weight it and not guess how much is left.

Very serious error in judgement at the very least. Glad you seen the error of your ways, and rectified the situation, before things really went south.
