Does the banana for scale have a source for its measurement? I can see 1 banana is 17.8cm.
Presumably that's an average?

It's the ISO banana, that's kept in a freezer in Switzerland and only taken out once every year to adjust other bananas.

Yes, I assume that's the average value they chose. Since they made the calculator, I consider that the go-to standard measurement.

On a side note, I did some additional research last night, and the average banana weighs between 100 and 120 grams, so 110 grams sounds good enough to me.
