By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single drop of water 50 mg

   Pharmacists standardized the 'drop' centuries ago: twenty drops make roughly one milliliter.

2. A AA alkaline battery 24 g

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

3. A liter of water 1 kg

   The kilogram was originally defined in the 1790s as the mass of exactly this much water — the tie was only fully broken in 2019.

4. A whole Thanksgiving turkey 7.5 kg

   Wild turkeys can fly at up to 90 km/h in short bursts; the broad-breasted domestic birds on holiday tables cannot fly at all.

5. A front-loading washing machine 76 kg

   Much of the heft is a deliberate concrete counterweight — without it, the spin cycle would walk the machine across your floor.

6. An adult Tyrannosaurus rex 8.5 t

   'Sue', the most complete T. rex ever found, sold at auction in 1997 for $8.4 million and now has its own social media accounts.
