SortStack #3073 — 2034-11-07

By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single grain of table salt 60 µg

   Salt crystals are near-perfect cubes because sodium and chloride ions lock into a rigid lattice — about a million grains fit in one cup.

2. 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'.

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. The FIFA World Cup Trophy 6.2 kg

   Winners only keep a gold-plated replica; the 18-karat original stays with FIFA and gets each champion engraved on its base.

5. A giant Pacific octopus 30 kg

   It can squeeze its entire body through any gap larger than its beak — the only hard part it owns.

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.
