Sour cream is sold by weight, not by volume. An 8 ounce container of sour cream is equal to 3/4 C by volume. A 16 oz. container of sour cream is equal to 1 1/2 C by volume. Do not be confused with liquid measure and weight measure. Very rarely will they be the same.

Someone replied "Eight ounces of anything is one cup". Not quite... that is only true if it is by VOLUME. If it is by WEIGHT that is a totally different thing. For example: a 16 ounce container of sour cream is sold by weight, not volume. There are not two liquid cups of sour cream by volume in a 16 oz. container. There are 1.875 cups. In the English system there are weight ounces and liquid ounces. I believe this is based on the weight and volume of water. If something is NOT water the two are not interchangeable.

How many cups in 16 oz sour cream?

AnswerA cup is 8 ounces, so there would be 2 cups in 16 ounces of anything.Uh- no. A cup of lead will weigh much more than a cup of feathers. You are close, though. A cup of sourcream weighs 8.5 ounces. So you would not quite get 2 cups from a pint.The first answer is wrong because sour cream is packaged by weight, not by volume. The second answer does not precisely answer the question. While it is true that 16 "fluid ounces" equals 2 cups in volume, it is not true that 16 ounces (1 pound) is equal to 2 cups in volume. That said, a 16 oz container of sour cream contains approximately 30 tablespoons which is exactly 1.875 cups. -- Source: Great Value 16 oz. All Natural Sour Cream packaging label.
