How Many Gumballs Fit in a 1 Quart Mason Jar?

If you are asking this question, then you must be planning a party or an event.

Answer:

A one-quart mason jar has the capacity of 32 fluid ounces. We're assuming that you want to fill the gumballs to the top so that they don't rattle around inside the jar.

Calculation is approximate as gumballs are NOT alway perfectly round and the diameter varies slightly.

Gumballs Size # Gumballs in Mason Jar
1"  diameter 55-60 (approx 3/4  lbs)
 1/2" to 5/8" (0.5" to 0.625")  205-225 (approx 1.9 lbs)

How do we know? We tested it out ourselves of course. Personalized gumballs jars make great gift for any occasion. you can see some neat examples below.

One of my favorite gum balls (as a kid. of course) but it looks like you have 3 if not 4 different sizes so here is what I recommend
Send me a bag of each size ok don’t worry I’m only going to hand them out to the kids THIS WAY I WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY GUESS !

Thank you for the info. My wife and I are entering a contest, and they are asking how many gumballs are in a mason jar. The problem is, they don’t say how big the gumballs are, or how big the jar is. I’m going to guess that it’s a quart-size jar, and that they are half inch gumballs.
Thank you again for the information. Y’all be well, and good bless.
Please keep making the greatest gumballs ever. I’ve been blessed to have been chewing y’all’s gumballs ever since I was a little boy, and I’m now 53 years old.
Be well, and God bless!
