A TON

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Lots and lots" is a casual way to say a huge amount, and "a ton" fits perfectly because it means the same thing in everyday speech. The phrase plays on the literal meaning of a ton (2,000 pounds) to exaggerate quantity, like saying "I have a ton of work." It’s a common idiom, so the clue hints at the answer by matching the idea of abundance.
