21+ Things That Will Surprise You With Their Actual Size

We often see things on the internet whose scale we never even think about. And it's only when we see them compared to something common (like the old "banana for scale" method of measuring) that things really get put into perspective. After all, you pass by traffic lights and traffic signs every day but have you ever seen one up close?

Bored Panda has compiled a list of things that are bigger than you might have thought and we're sure you'll be surprised. Check them out in the gallery below! h/t
