This glass says Blanche de Chambly on it which is brewed in Canada at Unibroue.It's at least 18" tall and 5-6" across the top.My estimation says it hold 7-8 liters of ilquid?It's filled with wrapped double bubble gum and the 50-50 goes to the closest guess which will be probably be won by someone without a clue.

I can't find this glass anywhere by searching. Maybe my Forum friends can help in my quest.Half the proceeds go to a local soldiers home in the Boston area.Have some fun with this. I have until half time on Super Bowl Sunday.Thanks to all my Forum friends --charliezap--The pic doesn't do it much justice--it is a huge glass.

Using my limited math skills and your guess on the size of the glass...

(6 Inch Diameter Divided by 2) = 3 Inch Radius
3 Inch Radius × 3 Inch Radius = 9
9 × 18 Inches Height = 162
162 × 3.14159 = 508.93758 Cubic Inches

Accepting that and guessing the size of a piece of double bubble gum to be 1 cubic inch then my guess would be in and around 500.

Please be warned I'm lousy at math and I have no real idea on the size of the gum but 500 is a nice round number.

I'd take out 30 for the taper at the bottom.

Not a bad guess--another piece of info is that i filled a 24 oz container with 60 pieces of gum and went from there and came up with 680 pieces for 8 liters.---charliezap

I brought my tape measure for a closer spec. Here is what i got.

Had some time to kill before supper...

From a rough 3D model of your sketch, and the image:

I get a volume of 559 cu in. or 9.16 liters (309 fluid oz)

2.5pcs per oz (based on your 60pcs for 24 oz), and I'd say 772 pcs (rounded down)

Thanks for the info. I was figuring around 8 liters and with 85 pieces of gum per liter that would be 680 pieces. I'm going to add your number of 772 as another of my guesses---thanks for the help.--charliezap

Did they do anything sneaky and hide a few shot inside?

What an utter waste. Filling a beer glass with bubblegum.
