what does a 15 litre bag look like?

I was selling chook poo today in 20 kilo bags but of course the poo doesn't weigh that. So when they sell manure in a shop they talk about litre bags
and I can't find anything on the net to translate it into dimensions.

Perhaps a table I learnt at school may help:

"The angle of the dangle depends on the heat of the meat.
Provided the throb of the knob remains constant".

When you've got your pretty little head around that, have a look at this

Fueled again - the Gimli Glider and then stop thinking about it. In supermarkets Yoghurt is sold by both litre and kilogram measurements, so you work it out. If you really want to find out, phone the CSIRO on 1300 363 400

Time for Inspector Lynley. I'm outta here.

It looks almost identical to a 4 gallon bag.

Think of a bag that could fit 15 one litre bottles of Coca Cola in it. I think you have your answer.

Anyway, in the final analysis does it really matter whether your foul do-do’s are sold by weight or volume or even kilopascals or ohms?

Buyers of cheap bulk goods consider only the basics of what it is they’re buying – in this case, A BIG BAG OF CHOOK POO - and how much the miserly trader is ripping off them in return. That’s all. They don’t give a stuff whether it’s 15 litres or 25. It’s just a big bag, is all. When I go into a supermarket for my Corn Flakes I don’t stuff about considering the weight of the goddamn box. I want Corn Flakes, is all.

Deal with it.
