Filled with water, it will hold 42 pounds of the stuff, not counting the weight of the bucket (typically 2 pounds.) That means for any liquid or semi-liquid food such as wine, beer, peanut butter, honey or cooking oils, just remember 42. Readers of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy may recognize this number as the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything.

Whoops! Adapted from a list provided by USA supply. Posted on September 17, 2013 A friend and I were having an argument about what weighs more, a bucket of ice or a bucket of water. His argument: When I carry a bucket of water in one hand and a bucket of ice in the other from my car, I find that the water weighs more than the ice even though they are filled to the top. Because the ice is less dense and the molecules are farther apart, it weighs less than the bucket of water. My argument: Because the rearrangement of molecules, the mass stays the same. When going from a bucket of water to a bucket of ice, because the molecules are the same the mass is the same as well, meaning the total weight is the same. Ice is just another arrangement of the molecules in the water. Which one of us is right? I've looked on Google and actually found a lot of differing answers. Thanks!
