Yeah, I get that. I read the article. But knowing that aspirin has a greater mass than fentanyl has no purpose, it’s not useful information. It’s not relevant to anything at all, so it’s just strange to mention.
It’s like saying 40mg of a banana would fit on the head of a pin to emphasize the point instead of using baby aspirin… yes, that’s a very small amount, but it doesn’t really provide additional context (other than to force someone to realize, “wow, things that weigh the same can do different things?!”) since it’s so obvious.

Wow. I mean, they aren’t saying it had greater mass, it’s giving a visual reference for the quantity…
