The gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its freezing point. It is now simply one thousandth of a kilogram, the base unit having overtaken it. It is the working unit of cooking, nutrition labelling and postage. Baking in grams rather than cups is measurably more accurate, because volume measures of flour vary by how firmly it is packed. A standard paperclip weighs about 1 gram, and a metric cup of flour is roughly 125 g.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 g is 0.035274 oz, 5 g is 0.17637 oz, 50 g is 1.764 oz.
As for the other side of the conversion: A slice of bread weighs about 1 ounce, and a standard tin of soup is around 10.75 oz.
Strictly these are conversions of mass rather than weight โ mass is how much matter something contains, weight is the force gravity exerts on it. The distinction rarely matters on Earth, where the two are proportional, but it is why the same object masses the same on the Moon while weighing about a sixth as much.
