    I’m an Aussie, and had landed in America for a holiday. Was really hungry and figured I’d just get a Quarter Pounder meal from Maccas at the airport. Order a Large meal because that’s what I’d normally get at home. They bring out like a litre of coke, a gigantic box of fries, and the burger. It was absolutely atrocious.

      Many many years ago. I did some work in Texas. We go into this sit down place. Now, having been caught by the huge portions a previous evening I’m cautious. I just order a chicken burger. The waitress is all like “Oh are you sure, just the chicken burger on its own?” I’m thinking, oh well maybe things are normal size at this place. I order some fries to go with it.

      Some time later the chicken burger arrives completely filling the full size plate it came on, and the fries came on an entirely separate plate.

      I’m not a small guy, but I could not eat all that.
