Grams vs. Ounces - What’s the Difference?
The gram (g) is a unit of mass in the metric system, widely used in science, medicine, and everyday applications like food labeling.
The ounce (oz) is a unit of weight in the imperial and US customary systems. It is commonly used in cooking, postal services, and gold or silver trading. Since 1 ounce equals approximately 28.35 grams, conversions between these two units are straightforward.
To convert grams to ounces, use this formula:
Ounces (oz) = Grams (g) ÷ 28.35
Example: To convert 100 g to oz, divide:
100 ÷ 28.35 = 3.53 oz

The 2,200-Ounce Chocolate Bar
In 2011, the world’s largest chocolate bar was created in the UK, weighing an incredible 2,200 ounces (over 62,000 g or 62 kg). This massive chocolate bar was produced by the Thornton’s chocolate company to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
Measuring over 13 feet long and nearly 2 feet thick, the bar contained enough chocolate to make more than 75,000 regular-sized bars. It took a team of chocolatiers several days to pour, set, and carve the massive block of chocolate, which was later broken down and distributed for charity.
This record-breaking creation remains one of the most impressive food-related achievements in history—showing how something as small as grams can add up to something extraordinary!
