Bigger ones, metric system increments are clear and can’t hide bs behind quarter pounder (marketing terms) etc. 113grams of meat is a baby size. 150g or 200g and we are starting to discuss things/meals seriously.

I think the critical problem the metric system has is that "pound" just sounds like a good, solid, dependable amount of something.

I wager a substantial number of the people who get actually angry about the thought of metric think a pound is more then half a kilo.
