Answer: a French baguette measures 65 cm (length / span), which is 1.4× as big as the reference, a domestic cat at 46 cm.
French law fixes the baguette’s ingredients rather than its length, but 65 cm is the custom.
Common miss: players tend to compress a French baguette when it sits beside a domestic cat — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: an ice cream cone measures 17 cm (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a smartphone at 14.7 cm.
Measured from the point to the top of the scoop, a cone stands taller than a soda can.
Common miss: players tend to compress an ice cream cone when it sits beside a smartphone — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.

Supermarket carrots are pulled young — left in the ground they keep growing.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a carrot when it sits beside a paperback book — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
