Default

5 pound bag of flour or sugar

quart of water weighs about 2 pounds

big thanksgiving turkeys weigh 20-ish pounds

half hams range from aobut 6-9 pounds. whole hams can go up to 18 or so

newborn babies are roughly 7 pounds. toddlers about 30

this is kind of fun!!! I'll keep thinking about this...
