Law enforcement officials came across a staggering find after being tipped off about possible drug-dealing: dozens of dog-food-size bags of psychedelic mushrooms worth an estimated $8.5 million at a home in rural Connecticut.

Dog-food-size bags? That’s almost as much as 20 salamanders!
America will use anything except the metric system
I feel like this isn't something about not using metric measurements but rather something to help visualisation. I'm all for using metric but it's still nice to have something to attach to the number. Especially for bigger numbers.
Even in countries/places that use metric, i've seen comparisons like this like (x meters = 1 footbal stadium) and so on.
It's actually a lie. The dog food sized bags comment.
The dry mushrooms are in large ziplock bags. The bags they're growing in hold five pounds of substrate and water.
I grow edible mushrooms in those same bags. They're not anywhere close to dog food bags.
Yeah, I was picturing the big 40lb dog food bags. Those look like 20lb of dog food at most in the big ones. It's not useful at best, and misleading at worst. If they had just said "2.5gal plastic bags" (which is exactly what the purple zipper ones are, 2.5gal Hefty freezer bags) it would have been far more useful, because not only is it accurate, it's more familiar to more people.

Every bag weights as much as a fat baby with a big breakfast cola
It's so very close!
What size bag of dog food? You can get anything from 5lb to 50lb. I bet there are even bigger if you buy at bulk stores or online.
