  I hate that stuff in general - it's so damned flexible depending on the fruit. Mine went from banana to grapefruit - in my world, a banana is way longer than a grapefruit.
  
  I just broke out my ruler to check measurements rather than use fruit.
  
  Pregnant Chicken's are hilarious. Granade was my favorite so far!

  I'm still in blueberry land, so I can't really contribute.  But I do grow a variety of heirloom tomato (purple Cherokees), and even among my plants, the size of the fruit varies greatly.

  
  

  And, banana to grapefruit - what's that all about?  I wonder where these ticker makers are buying their produce!

  @Ducky719 I had to look up what a kumquat was when I was at that stage - they couldn't pick a more common fruit or veggie?!

  Another one I had to look up last time was jicama... I had no idea what that looked like.  Right now I'm a Chinese cabbage, at least that I know.
