80%* of modern food packages come in odd shapes designed to mislead the consumer as to the actual quantity of food in them. This series of videos would consist of a wide variety of these containers filled with colored water, and then poured into perfectly square and/or cylindrical containers. By watching enough of these a person would start to get an intuitive understanding of how much of something is actually in a given container. Another video in the series would show whipped mayonnaise and other items which commonly have a lot of air added, reduced by the percentage of air.
