    "content_text": "A kilo of pick and mix is 1,000 g: ten of the 100 g portions we sell. How many sweets that makes depends entirely on which sweets are in it, because some sweets are much smaller and lighter than others.\nReal counts from the makers\n| Sweet | What the maker says | About how many in a kilo | |---|---|---:| | Jelly Belly jelly beans | 882 beans in a kilo | 882 | | Haribo Goldbears, American pack | 13 pieces in 30 g | 430 | | Werther's Original caramel coffee hard sweets, American pack | 4 pieces in 16 g | 250 |\nOnly the Jelly Belly figure is a count given by the maker for a whole kilo. The other two are our own arithmetic from the serving sizes on the makers' American labels, so treat them as a guide. Sizes and recipes can vary between brands and countries. A mixed kilo will land somewhere in between, depending on your choices.\nHow far a kilo goes\nThere is no official portion for sweets at a party. Sellers' guides range from about 100 g a guest, suggested by the sweet wholesaler Wholesale Sweets, to 200 to 250 g an adult, suggested by the event hire company The Added Extra, which puts children at 50 to 75 g. So a kilo would serve about ten guests at the lower figure, or four or five at the higher one: see how much pick and mix do you need per person?\nIt is also worth keeping sugar in mind. The NHS advises that adults have no more than 30 g of free sugars a day, and boiled sweets are nearly 100 per cent sugar, so a kilo of them is close to a kilo of sugar.\nA kilo in old money\nA pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, so a kilo is about 2.2 pounds. The old quarter of a pound is about 113 g, which makes a kilo just under nine quarters: see what is a quarter of sweets?\nBuying by the kilo from us\nPick and mix is sold by weight, which makes it easy to buy in bulk: see why is pick and mix sold by weight? With us, every sweet is sold by the 100 g, so a kilo can be ten portions of one sweet or a mix of up to ten. As your mix grows, the shop shows the delivery price at each weight milestone, such as 1 kg and 2 kg. Orders up to 2 kg are delivered for £3.99 by Royal Mail 48, and heavier orders follow Royal Mail's own price bands.\nFor the count in a single portion, see how many sweets are in 100 g of pick and mix?",
