Review on Amazon: A banana for scale should be to scale https://a.co/d/aAZPaX4

Alt text1 star review by user "Tall Guys Wife" on Amazon of a rubber banana that has the words [for scale] on it.
Picture attached shows rubber banana is smaller than real banana.

Review text reads: "purchased this 'banana for scale, but it's way smaller than an average banana. People on social media demand if you're showing something that you use an average banana for scale. I would never deceive anyone with this ridiculous substitute for an accurate measuring tool."

This is only useful if we are measuring small insects or microbes. nudge nudge

Now, now, don't be so self deprecating. Some people are into 'small and adorable'. giggle giggle

That's a 'firm' yes from me.
