How many of you have seen these green scales on your travels, especially through Asia? They are everywhere, in markets, shops etc.

If you have pictures with these infamous green scales somewhere in the image, post them here.

Hey, great that you got this going, I'm amazed at how many shots I have with the green scale in full view. Here are a couple from Phnom Penh.

I wonder why they are so common?

Do they function like an ISO standard or something?

"You weighed my meat out on BLACK scales - are you trying to rip me off or something"

@Anothershooting - hes now close to 18mths - still insane.

^^^^^

Probably because they are so common, and therefore probably cheap..

As for accuracy,, well,,,,,,,

What's worse is that I am blue/green colour blind. I was looking at the above photos trying to figure out what the bloody 'ell everybody was talking about. I finally figured out that the scales in the photos were not "blue", as I thought, but indeed... green. Oooooops.
