For your consideration
I propose a new ASME standard, the Scaling Banana™.

Although I understand, I was dismayed to discover I misread it as "ACME" Standard Scaling Banana.
-
Need more information.
-
This is due to the Mercator map correction!
-
You need a standardized banana, not some random banana.
-
Ah, I see the confusion. What you have there are troy bananas and avoirdupois (AVDP) bananas. Not to be confused with fluid bananas.

I still like CEEs Banana Scales (calipers)
-
Should go to 8, then "bunch".
-
I have not seen one of those before, it would make a good companion tool.

As a biologist I need to know how many Banana Equivalent Doses your Scaling Banana causes.
-
The Scaling banana contains no Potassium-40, but it does probably have some Aluminum-26 in it. Further testing will be needed to ascertain the actual B.E.D.

Please note this is only a prototype banana. Production models will sport a trendy yellow anodized finish.
-
I dunno, I kind of like the industrial silver. Wouldn't want it to get mixed up with my real bananas, after all.
-
You should offer an assault banana with a 1913 rail, so we can attach all our tactical accessories.

That thing better be exactly 178 millimeters long, otherwise it's not a standard banana...

I did not consult that site, the ASME Scaling Banana™ measures 214mm. It was made from a composite 3d scan of 4 different bananas bought from 3 different retailers. Your banana may vary.

Finally some real science!

i love this
-
I love it.

Sorry I don't understand this new standard, can I please have a banana for scale?
-
...with some clever geometry, it could be sized for metric-integer weight, length, and volume...
-
I would prefer a Scalene Banana. Can we make that happen?
-
Is it OIML approved?
