Thick VS Heavy
Hi,
I have a query about the use of 'think' and 'heavy'. Most of the time, these two words are interchangeble. How about these senetences?
1. In the midst of heavy fog....( is thick acceptable here?)
2. This coffee contain is rather thick.....( is heavy acceptable here?)
3. I knew where she from the moment she spoke. She had heavy aussie accent. (thick?)
4. The smell of citrus is too heavy. (how about thick?) .....'strong' might be a better adj here but is heavy or think acceptable or either one?
Thanks.

Talking about typo, should coffee contain be rewritten as coffee contents?
contents . Something contained, as in a receptacle: the contents of my desk drawer; the contents of an aerosol can.

I think you are right, it should be coffee contents:)
My mistake, again~

These are not correct:
This coffee contents is rather thick.
This coffee contents is rather heavy.
These might be okay in limited contexts:
These coffee contents are rather thick.
These coffee contents are rather heavy.
These would generally be cor

If we are not talking about physical, countable objects, content is often a good word without the plural s:
The lead content of this metal is quite high.
