A Silly Question but someone must know this...

I was wondering if anyone knew the weight of the breyers style (kindof cardboard carton) 1.5 quart (1.89L) ice cream/ frozen yogurt conatiners when they are empty? Thanks in advance!!!

I'm fairly certain the weight printed on the container doesn't include the container itself. The weight should be only a measure of the contents inside of it.

If not, I can't imagine the cardboard being more than 40-50g of that weight though.

 As far as I know, the container gives volumn, but not the overall weight. 

That right rose_gil it tells me that it is 1.89L but not how much it weighs. What I was hoping for is that someone has an empty ice cream/frozen yogurt carton and a kitchen scale... anyone please???

1.89L is 1.89 litres.  1 litre of water weighs exactly 1 kg or 2.2 lbs.  You have nearly 2 litres or about 4.2 lbs of weight in the carton, if it were water or ice for example (yes I know a litre of ice weighs slightly less than a litre of water) and I don't imagine ice cream weighs much more or less than water or ice so for the sake of argument lets just call it 1.89 litres or or 1.9 kg or 4.2 lbs....

If you want to know the weight of the empty carton, why not just weigh the entire thing and subtract the weight of the contents (which is printed on the front)?

The weight isn't printed on the front. Well I dont know, it might be but it seems the volume is in litres rather than the weight. She probably has a full container and wants to know the weight of the empty container so she can subtract the latter from the former. I've seen icecream before that has total contents in litres but nutritional info per 100grams or something.

Often ice-cream is much lighter than water depending on how much air is pumped into it. For instance more luxurious ice-creams are denser and have less air in them so 100ml of ice-cream might weigh 90 grams but cheaper ice-creams like HB or Walls have more air so 100ml might weigh only 60 grams.
