Default lb of FAT

Hey, does anyone know how much volume a pound of fat takes up? Sometimes that kind of visual mental image is inspiring to me, i know it sounds kinda gross. I just have no idea.
Thanks!

Here is a link to a picture of 5 lbs of fat. It doesn't give a volume measurement but it sure is eye opening...

I always think of it in terms of sticks of butter! 4 sticks is a pound. then I think, if I lose 20 pounds, thats 80 sticks of butter!!! ewwwww
