By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single kernel of corn 300 mg

   Each kernel is botanically a complete fruit, and a typical ear carries an even number of rows — most often sixteen.

2. A monarch butterfly 500 mg

   Despite weighing less than a paperclip, monarchs migrate up to 4,800 km from Canada to mountain forests in central Mexico.

3. A house sparrow 28 g

   House sparrows have followed humans to every continent except Antarctica — one pair even nested deep inside an English coal mine.

4. An official MLB baseball 145 g

   Every game ball is hand-rubbed with mud from a secret spot on a New Jersey riverbank to take off the factory gloss.

5. A McDonald's Big Mac 220 g

   The Economist uses Big Mac prices to compare currency values worldwide — the famously tongue-in-cheek 'Big Mac Index'.

6. A capybara, the world's largest rodent 50 kg

   Capybaras are so famously chill that birds, monkeys, and even crocodilians perch and lounge on them like furniture.
