fluid ounce and dry ounce are not the same thing... fluid ounce is a measure of volume as is pint, dry ounce is a measure of weight... hence the comparison of 16 (FL) oz= 1 pound does not hold up...
either way it takes a ****load (local measure here in the sticks) of tomatoes to make a gallon of sauce...
