1. A AA alkaline battery 24 g

   Billions of AA cells are produced worldwide every year, making it the planet's most popular battery size.

2. A Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle 365 kg

   Harley once tried to trademark its V-twin engine's 'potato-potato' exhaust rumble, then dropped the case in 2000.

3. Big Ben, the Great Bell of Westminster 13.8 t

   Big Ben is the bell, not the tower — and it cracked within months of entering service in 1859; the odd tone is the crack.

4. A fully loaded 18-wheeler semi-truck 36 t

   Fully loaded, a semi needs about 40% more stopping distance than a car — which is why truckers leave that gap you keep filling.

5. General Sherman, the giant sequoia in California 1.3K t

   Earth's largest single tree by volume is still growing, adding roughly a good-sized ordinary tree's worth of wood every year.

6. A fully loaded Triple-E class container ship 250K t

   It hauls around 18,000 containers with a crew of only about 22 — fewer people than a fast-food restaurant shift.
