you should also consider the volume of a pound of each. the density is a big factor, depending on what kind of chips you refer to (a pound of crisps chips is a lot vs. a pound of steel, for example).

Okay, but that's cheating, that's WAY too many chips. Look at how big it is compared to the steel.
