By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A stick of butter 113 g

   US butter sticks come in two shapes: the stubby 'Western' stick exists because West Coast dairies bought different molds.

2. A FIFA regulation soccer ball 430 g

   World Cup balls are tested in wind tunnels; the 2010 'Jabulani' was so smooth that goalkeepers complained it swerved unpredictably.

3. A whole pineapple 1.2 kg

   Pineapples take nearly two years to grow, and each plant produces just one fruit at a time.

4. A Holstein dairy cow 680 kg

   A productive dairy cow gives about 30 liters of milk a day — and burps enough methane to matter in climate accounting.

5. The Liberty Bell 943 kg

   Its famous crack was widened on purpose — an 1846 repair meant to stop the fracture instead ruined the bell's tone for good.

6. 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.
