Food & Drink
You buy it, carry it, and eat it every week — and still get it wrong. Food weights hide in plain sight because packaging does the remembering for us: nobody reads "420 g" on a label and files it away.
Watch out for water: anything liquid or fresh is mostly water, and water is heavy. A watermelon or a full wine bottle surprises far more players than any gadget does.
