Internationalization question: is a Bic lighter a useful scale reference object for photos?
In the past I've used AA batteries since that's a definite standard, but it doesn't have quite the same aesthetic colloquialism.
@starkatt it wouldn't have been for us until recently, when we got one because waiting for the hot air gun to heat up and cool down just to do one tiny bit of heatshrink got annoying

@starkatt I feel like the most ubiquitous things you could use at a couple different size scales are
- A AA battery, as you mentioned
- A CD jewel case (or just a CD)
- A lego brick or possibly a tic-tac (unsure how internationally common tic-tacs are)
- A USB connector (or a lightning connector, which has the added benefit of visible pads you can use kinda like a ruler)
- Or just use a ruler, but that's a bit less "obvious"
