I found a shipping website that said the max pallet weight was 2200lbs.
A 12 pack is ~20 pounds, so about 100 12 packs = 1200 cans

Based on that picture, agree it's somewhere in that range.
Not sure where Blum got 4,500
Think I found the same website (https://reusabletranspack.com/2019/...allets-a-complete-resource-guide-for-brewers/)

We pack bulk bags at work and 2,200 is the max weight for a pallet, so if what the website above says is right that a 12-pack of 12oz cans is about 20lbs, then yes a pallet would be about 1,320 cans.

You can see in the picture that a layer of cans is probably 16 x 16, which is 256. The picture shows 9 layers, for a total of 2304, but who knows how many layers have been removed already.

I wouldn't think they'd go 20 layers high, but Blum is good with stats and I've never known him to be wrong.

20 layers would be 8 feet tall and like 3500 lbs

I just weighed a 12 pack & it's exactly 10 lbs. Not disputing anything else in your post, but I knew either that was incorrect or I'm stronger than I thought.

A case weighs 20lbs, that’s 24 cans. 100 cases on a pallet would be 2000lbs and 2400 cans.

You are correct. An ounce of fluid is barely over an ounce of weight, so 12oz*12 cans = just over 144 oz of weight. 144/16 is a little over 9 lbs. Throw in the small weight of the aluminum and plastic and you got yourself around 10 lbs.

If there had been more and better food options near BCA and if the weather hadn't turned cold, I think they would have sold much more. The pavilion area with the big screen looked nice, but was barely used.

Verry little food options in that Plaza was crazy. Why were they all closed?
