1. A single grain of pollen 40 µm

   Pollen grains have survived intact for millions of years, letting scientists reconstruct ancient forests from lake-bed sediment.

   The 750ml bottle size is often linked to the lung capacity of a glassblower's single breath.

3. A classic Volkswagen Beetle 4.1 m

   The Beetle stayed in production for over 65 years, making it one of the longest-running car designs ever.
