Fun fact, the average adult brain also has a credit cards worth of plastic inside. So that bacon has some company!

Additionally, the average brain is about 1300 grams. 0.5% of 1300 is 6.5 grams, and plastic credit cards weigh roughly 5 grams.

0.5% is really hard for me to visualize. A credit card in everyone's brain is unfortunately easy.....
