Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

If you plan to sell these things on Earth, then the acceleration of gravity in the neighborhood of your drive-throughs will be 9.81 m/s².

Weight of each sandwich = (0.1 kg) x (9.81 m/s²).

Weight of each sandwich = 0.981 Newton.

This is only 1.9% less than 1 even Newton.

You should start by setting up one restaurant in New York, one in Chicago, one in LA, and maybe one in Miami or Tulsa. Sell it with a different name in each place, and see which name sells best.

You might want to try calling it

- - Isaac's burger

- - Gravity grub

- - Prism Patty

- - Mass 'o Meat

- - Unit-wich

and see if anything catches on.

I think I'd simply call it a "Newton Unit".
