OK, I know I could go to a post office or something and actually weigh
stuff, but where's the fun in that?
On a recent ride I jokingly referred to my (all-carbon) bike as a boat
anchor, and my friend lifted it up and said something like, "Wow, it IS
heavy".
So then I pulled off my full water bottle and he did the same with his, and
I was shocked -- OK, quite surprised -- at how much heavier mine was than
his.
The only apparent difference (besides bottle brands) was that mine was
filled with my proprietary Gatorade/Lemonade/Tang concoction, whereas his
was just plain water. (Both bottles were the larger size -- his a clear
Bontrager and mine a seemingly bit thicker plastic "team"-type bottle.)
So my question is, how much heavier is a water bottle filled with energy
drink than with plain H2O?
I'm going for a ride in a bit. Please have your answers on my desk(top) by
this afternoon...and of course, show your work.
Just don't go to the post office for help.
