How large per Carlos squared?
I need Carlos to hold a banana for scale .... who knows ... Carlos could be a dwarf ... or a ten foot giant.
Or a miniture giant space-Carlos !
...his name is Carlos.
How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.
Five Carlos
How many football fields is Carlos?
About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.
Real Big Macs, or ad photo Big Macs that are twice as big?
Around 20 ad-tier Big Macs, or ~31 shrinkflation Big Macs in 2025. Unfortunately the Big Mac as a unit of measurement was standardized way back in '89 so it may not be as consistent with modern-day readings.
Now measuring in Baconators is likely to be more reliable when looking across a longer period of time, but you'll have to factor in the different conversion ratios depending on whether you're dealing with a single, double, or triple. The double is the base unit and is defined as 1/71 of a 1995 Ford F150.
Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?
The classic Carlos comment thread hijack.
Pretty sure that one’s turtley enough for the turtle club.
I'm disappointed that nobody here has asked the right question yet:
How many Smoots is a Carlos?
Turtle pope is real
Behold, dog!
God, the way my laugh echoed in this house.
Carlos is smaller than a turtle! LOL
He smol.
Miriel my beloved
Thank you, Carlos.
I want to know more about this turtle!
Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?
Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.
I'm gonna need a Carlos to Cubit to Banana diagram.
With a slinky for scale.
What's the exchange rate of Carlos to Carbonemys?
Okay but is Carlos standing on a platform with a wall behind him, or is Carlos planking on a platform with the floor behind him?
I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn't the only one.
He's just lying on a box sticking his legs out.

Looks like he's laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.
That ain't nothin on Great A'Tuin
Ssh, you'll give the flat-earthers ideas!

Having accidentally stood between a galloping leatherback and the ocean, I can confirm that some turtles are still as big as cars, or at least they look a lot like it when approaching you at 40mph.

I'm sure it was a friend to all children.
Idk... is Carlos an SI-compatible unit? Because if not, this could be any size. Maybe he is a dwarf, maybe a giant. It could me anything! /j

I really hope Carlos is getting paid to work there. Bet he has abs of steel, though! Dudes rockin' washboard abs but is far too modest to show them off.
