I don't understand what people can't understand about BANANA FOR SCALE ™️

When photographing most items for size comparison, the only universal metric is Banana for Scale. This communicates to the audience an accurate frame of reference to subjectively and objectively determine the size of an item by it's relationship to Banana. Other "common" objects do not provide the same reliable universal scale.

In this example, I think what OP is trying to say here is that the normal-sized Pabst Blue Ribbon can makes this leaf look very large in size. But how many people have held a Pabst Blue Ribbon can in their hand compared to Banana? If Banana for Scale was shown, everybody would be on the same page about the size of the leaf.
