As an American, I appreciate when measurements are already laid out the way I’ll understand. A “meter” isn’t a thing. A hamburger is a thing. Thank you.
Hamburger is not a standard measure. Do you mean it's a small cheeseburger or a large deluxe super burger? What place do you take it from? Those can get to like three times difference in sizes.
It's impossible to say how big is a "hamburger". But you can precisely define a meter, and it gets intuitive very quickly with a fraction of effort you imagine it to be.

To be fair, when people give me measurements in Metric, I just get confused as I have no frame of reference
