Need more information.
This is due to the Mercator map correction!
Without a banana for scale, it's hard to tell.
...those are some tiny potatoes or ginormous bananas in either case...
The bananas on the left are just closer to the camera. Everyone knows bananas are all the same size.
More information: Your size is fine
But what size is the metal one?
Banana sized. Or, 1.
Left banana is 1.4 standard bananas, right banana is 0.7 standard bananas.
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.
