Um, also, consider that granulated sugar is not solid sugar.

1 cup of granulated sugar weighs 7.06 oz.
1 cup of honey weighs 12 oz.

Think about it.

honey is much richer than suger, this couldbe where people are getting confused. it seems sweeter because it effects more parts of your mouth in the tasting process.

Different sugars have different sweetnesses, this is why soda company's use fructose to sweeten their drinks (high fructose corn sugar). Fructose is much sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), which is sweeter than glucose. Maybe the mix of sugars in honey is sweeter than table sugar. Possibly due to higher fructose levels.
