Brian's post inspired my thought that instead of "fries with that" you are now asked if you want to super size something.My wife noticed that in Fast "Food" Restaurants in the United States a "small drink" is similar to the size of a "large drink" in South America. But they don't stop there... they want to make it even BIGGER.
Now what is the point of "super sizing" grease and sugar? Less is probably better! Yet, we are all convinced at the check out counter that MORE is better and not much more expensive.
The only clue must be that our subconscious goal is to become fat and not just a little fat, but SUPER SIZED FAT.
Now, my mother told me not long ago that Detroit Michigan had a new name... FAT CITY. I think if you step back and have a close look, its not just Detroit, but really FAT COUNTRY USA and we're not talking about everyone riding around in super sized SUV's (though pretty soon no one will fit in a compact car).
Now, I realize you can guzzle down a 32 oz (or maybe two) glass of sugarred up soda pop (or drop the sugar and add a bunch of chemicals) with no problem as you swollow your grease burger and grease fries without even chewing.. that river of brown liquid makes it easy to slide down. Did you check if the grease was rancid?
My question is whether you could chugg 32 oz of pure filtered water with that same disgusting "food"? I think not, because deep down you really do want to be FAT!
