Yes, that's exactly it. An apple is approximately 1/4 the density of water. Have you ever put an apple through a juicer and seen the volume of apple juice extracted vs. pulp & peel? A ~1 cup apple does not yield anywhere near 1 cup of apple juice. If it did, that would mean there was no pulp/fruit, peel, core, seeds or stem. Whether you put it through a juicer that turns it into juice & pulp or use a press style juicer that squeezes apples flat, the juice yield is nowhere near 100% of it's solid state fruit form volume. It takes a lot of fruits/veggies to yield a 2 cups of juice. According to google, on average (depending on the size of the apple species) it takes 4 apples to produce 8 fluid ounces of apple juice.

I'm watching juicing videos and it looks to me like 2 apples yield a lot of juice. This is the juice from 2 apples not including the peel or core:

How many ounces do you approximate that that glass in the image is?
That glass is not particularly wide (maybe 2-2.5") & approximately 5" tall. It's also a woman's hand, which is smaller than mine, for scale reference. As a bartender & doing basic volumetric math, I would guess that the glass may have about a 6 fluid ounce capacity and that there's 4-5 fluid ounces of juice in it.. which supports the google result of, on average, 4 apples (depending on size and type) to produce a cup of apple juice.

1988 australian sugar ad
That was interesting. I've never ever seen an advertisement for sugar before. We have ads like that here for dairy products & beef, which makes sense since we produce them and don't have sugarcane plantations. I'm guessing Austrlia has a domestic sugar industry and that's why they would have ads like that?

"Probably harder"? As I said, they're near impossible to quit.
I have family and friends who have tried many times to quit, and if anything, they only wind up addicted to other forms of nicotine. Some of them vape now, which only allows them to consume much more nicotine, much more quickly, and at a slightly lower cost.
...sorry, I'll let you guys get back to discussing juice volume =) BTW, also whole fruit benefits you more than juice, as it's less processed and has much more fiber.
But without juice, we couldn't make WINE.
"Near impossible," is hyperbole. There are MANY ex-smokers.

yes we have a huge sugar cane industry.
you can drive for a hundred miles on roads with cane fields on both sides.
australia uses sugar cane sugar, and i think north america (which includes canada for the uninformed) uses sugar beets or fructose as sugar (corn syrups and the like)
our sugar is mainly sucrose.
Makes sense.
Sounds like Australia has sugarcane fields like the prairie provinces have wheat or rape. I think Alberta no longer calls themselves the "rape capital of the world," because most people don't think of rapeseed. (where canola oil comes from.)
Our regular sugar here in the household is probably GMO sugar beets, but for how often I actually use sugar as an ingredient in anything I bought a small bag of demerara (cane) sugar.
