From the (mostly) useless trivia rattling around in Doc's head since childhood:
A small (~1¼" - ~1⅜") paperclip weighs ~1 gram (range: 0.6 - 1.4 grams; average: 0.9 grams).
A restaurant packet of sweetener weighs ~2 grams.
A restaurant packet of sugar weighs ~3 grams (Domino's® weigh 3.54 grams; McDonald's® weigh ~4 grams)*.
A penny (U.S.) weighs 2.500 grams (when minted)
A nickel (U.S.) weighs 5.000 grams (when minted)
*They've been upsized since I was a kid.
