My info from the archives tells me HFCS 55 is 85% sugar.  Would a 60# pail
of HFCS 55 equal 51# sugar?

60# HFCS 55 x.85 = 51#

If not  What is the equivalency?  And what is the formula?

I'm trying to compare buying pails of HFCS 55 to bags of sugar.

Right now LSI says sugar is going for $25/50# bag ($.50/#) !!

By the pail HFCS 55 is $17.17 for small batches (plus $190 shipping) and
$12.50 per pail for a truckload (684 pails) delivered (shipping included).
Last time I got two short filled pails.

At the grocers it's still $0.369/#.

I'm willing to order if I get enough takers.  I'm in Mid Virginia.

Advice?  Opinions?  Help?
