I want to use the scale tipping metaphor (as oppose to straw/camel cliche) because I want to sort of create the idea that if we take X off the scale, it tips back in our favor. But I'm not sure exactly what to put on the scale.

Wombat? Skittle? Penny?
Feather, Stephanie?
I like event and almost used it. I'm not sure Skittle would work. (insert winky icon here)

clusterfuck.
