I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
I’ll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, 4x4 animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease; make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.
We serve food here, sir.
And I’m guessing a Florida small ball on the side?
All you have to do is follow the damn train…
This hurts me
He can’t hurt you if you shoot him first! In fact, that’s how you get his indestructible Sanchez motorcycle…
Aw shit, here we go again…
If you think about it, that mission was a red flag about Smoke being a fucking traitor. Fatass couldn’t shoot dudes 2 meters away
Wouldn’t that just make him a busta?
*diet coke
Erhm well back in the day fat people were the peak of social hierarchy because they had enough money to buy enough food to be fat, therefore spending $12 on a burger to get fat makes me mega rich
Make this into a greentext, you will earn so many likes
It’s the other way around now, normal people can only afford the ultra-processed slop and nutrient-defficient fruits & veg.
Ragebait, am European, love American Food!
Heresy! There must be rivalry between the continents in all things!
In Europe, the portions are European sized. In the US, they are whale-sized.
In Europe you pay 20€ for a semi decent micro Burger some Hipster slaps together, wearing black Nitrile Gloves thinking his shitty minimalistic “Burger-
ShopArtisery” will become the next big joint.I think both cultures have their issues when it comes to food. Europeans are just more pretentious about it.
America has pretentious, expensive burger joints though, and Europe has fast food. The real battle isn’t “American vs. European”, it’s “the people in power vs the people that aren’t”, in both places. Trying to draw divides like “Europeans are more pretentious about their food” is just a distraction from that.
I don’t know where you live, but either you live in an expensive city, only eat burgers at hipster places, or are memeing. I can still find perfectly good burgers for 12€ in my city and they fill me up. It’s not necessary to get stuffed and roll back home like a US landwhale.
Exaggeration for the sake of the Argument. The US has loads of small restaurants and fusion kitchens with local diversity (soul food). Regarding the amounts I don’t mind to have a “cheat day”. I was at SaltLick BBQ in Texas and I was sad when I was filled up because of how good it was (Brisket!! pecan Nut Pie!!! Spearribs!!!).
While I love me a cheese assortment with fine wine in Europe or similarly awesome food.
It’s just hard to compare fine dining with food you just want to inhale asap.
You compare literal apples to oranges (and are pretentious about it, sry).
I can still find perfectly good burgers for 12€ in my city and they fill me up.
Where do you live? I’m in The Netherlands and I don’t think a burger/fries combo can be had under €17 at any restaurant in the country, with the exception of American fast food chains (which are kinda trash). I think restaurants in this country are very expensive compared to the average in Europe.
They didn’t give you a pack of cigarettes with your meal? How un-yurapeein!
that’s france and finland specifically not all of europe
Germany is pretty smokey in some cities
the “tiny” burgers like the $5 biggie bag at Wendy’s is the perfect amount of food. jr bacon cheeseburger, small fries, 4 piece nugget, drink.
THATS normal portion, even if it’s not healthy, not a 1/2 lb double cheeseburger 6 inches in diameter, 3 inches thick and a 32oz bucket of cola.
They call the tiny one a “biggie bag”?
They really don’t want to let on that small burgers are available, do they?
It’s because fastfood places need to compete on either value or quality. They can also try to do both by primarily aiming to convey quality and having a special menu or set of offerings that promise the same quality but at a better price.
Wendy’s mostly brands themselves as quality focused as compared to other fast food places. So their “good deal” offering has to promise to offer the same quality at a lower price, which means smaller. So they call it big to camouflage that it’s actually smaller.
I’m not asking for an explanation, I’m criticizing.
I already know very well that you people like to explain why it makes sense that things are screwed and backwards.
What do you mean “you people?” Racism.
After the 2024 election I’m 100% “racist” against Americans. Enjoy 2025.
Where the hell are yall getting burgers at? Every fastfood place near me serves anemic, poorly prepared burgers that are not worth the cost for taste and only rarely worth the time investment when it’s near midnight and I need to absorb the alcohol in my stomach
You think the Baconator is anemic? I think you mean sclerotic.
$5 is worth for a quick lunch to me.
Where are you getting any kind of fast food for $5 these days?
Wendy’s. some places it’s $6
I need to investigate this “biggie bag”
it’s my go to, good value for what you get. those $15 baconator bullshits are WAY overrated.
Isn’t that still over half your daily calories needed in your “normal portion”?
probably, but it’s the right size, never said it was healthy lol
I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there’s no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That’s definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I’m a middle-aged 5’0" lady. Still, that’s a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!
Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. Not enough protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.
Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it’s a fucked up country because of the food just isn’t paying attention.
Anyone who (likely) intentionally writes the word “snicker” wrong to include a slur doesn’t think the actual bad stuff in America is bad.
Really waving your ignorance there, bud, not his.
Snigger is just a variant form more common in the UK, where snicker is the preferred one in the US. Though I wouldn’t put it past a 4chan user, it’s also a perfectly normal word they may have learned being taught and exposed to UK variants of English.
That’s so weird, I’ve literally never seen that form used even by people from the UK.
I guess it’s plausible that they’d just write it like that, I guess.
The secret third option is that they know that it’s a way of spelling it and prefer to use it because hehe n word.
I thought, and a quick Google confirms, that it is used in the Harry Potter series a few times. Obviously, you might not have read them, but for people in my cohort, that was likely our largest exposure point to British culture.
Most american comment ever
Real
It may not be the only issue but it is definitely on the list.
Agreed. It’s just not where I’d start changing things.
I dunno. As the saying goes,“You are what you eat.” And our elected “leader” advocates the leading producer of junk food.
Maybe if the American populace had actual nutrients in their bodies instead of butter and lard, we’d be able to critically think for once
Butter and lard aren’t the problems with the American diet.
It’s almost impossible to find anything still made with lard anymore.
I mean that’s probably the problem
Try high fructose corn syrup
Idk why Americans love that stuff so much … I feel everything that has high fructose corn syrup in it istasting the same
Maybe that’s why Trump picked RFK. “Hey Bobby, get Mcdonalds using beef tallow for their fries again and you can do whatever you want otherwise.”
Agreed to both of these points, though as an American I will say there are healthier options, it’s just that they make those cost twice as much as the cheaper, unhealthy options.
Go to a Mexican restaurant. Fajitas are $25 or more. It’s just vegetables with some meat. I can make that at home for like $3. We don’t eat out much.
Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn’t expect a tourist to understand that.
The food stands out. Like Australia has too many fat people too, but our restaurants don’t cater to them like America’s - don’t try to feed everyone a meal suited to a 200kg man trying for 300.
Wait 'til you see the child size soda.
It’s 512 ounces, or roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It’s a real bargain at $1.59.
512oz = 15.14L. Literally soda in a size of a child.
Who The fuck is able to drink that much? That’s a fucking bucket just with soda.
What the actual fuck?
'Tis a SitCom.
Parks and recreation is a tv show. The clip is satire. Real American soda sized are still ridiculously large, but not this exaggerated “child size”.
Ah thanks.
Damn, 15L of coke is like 5700 calories. More than double a daily intake only in a fucking soda.
If you drink diet Coke, you could drink about 15-20 of them before you get to the lethal limit of sodium in a grown adult.
So room to grow!
If you can’t beat’em sweetems :)
Straight from the orphan crushing machine. Delicious
lol, I better eat two hamburgers in one day to get the true american experience
I had two hamburgers today for lunch today. No big deal.
É meglio no
So anon blames an entire country for their shitty life choices?
I don’t remember the last time I ate fast food. I’m sure when I did, it was nothing like this - oh, it still sucked - but all I got was a burger and iced tea.
Though I completely agree restaurant portion sizes are insane anywhere. I akways get 2 meals out of a “serving”, often 3.
It’s not life choices, it’s getting to know a new culture
The fact that you are calling this a life choice and not a societal problem also reveals a lot about American culture. A public health policy that relies on personal responsibility has never worked and will never work.
Some places won’t let you order a kids meal unless you have a kid with you.
Why would they care? Is the rule really enforced?
Absolutely they enforce it. To the point that they rather you leave the restaurant.
Some places they actually discount the kids meals. Places that don’t have this policy people would abuse it by only buying 2 or 3 kids meals since that is the best food to cost ratio.
What if you come with a kid and buy only discount kids meals? 😺
It goes something like this: https://youtu.be/kvxe-auK2sI?si=PVfxZRkydFFUjZIO
This encapsulated this meme perfectly
Guarantee it was a very reasonable burger and this person just wanted to bitch and moan
For an American, sure.
But basic cheeseburgers here are around the size of what you call sliders.
I wonder what the nutrition is of the average fish and chips meal. That would be a slightly more reasonable comparison, wouldn’t it?
He said he was European, not British.
So a kebab then?
Kebabs don’t dominate our eating as much as Burgers do in the US
Well since we’re trying to compare the cuisine of a single country against the cuisine of many countries why don’t we just acknowledge that each and every one of them has their own unhealthy food they sometimes indulge in?
I eat a burger like once a month
Kebabs aren’t that bad? They use a lot of veggies here so they can skip on meat 🙃.
Falsified and homosexual. No Yuroopeens allowed
Big food is kind of a marketing thing in America. Restaurants want to give their customers more " bang for their buck" (or at least appear to), but they don’t want to lower prices. Instead, they increase portions. This has lead to a size arms race where every restaurant wants to claim they have the biggest food in town. This is especially the case for burger joints. It doesn’t matter to the restaurant if customers eat all their food, since they pay for all of it either way. I’m guessing Americans are more culturally susceptible to this marketing tactic, since bigger-is-better is common here, and hence things have been taken further than in other countries.
This seems to be another case of someone throwing reason out the door for the sake of insulting Americans. There is no way you would be getting “shit eating grins” for ordering a kids meal. And if your large burgers are smaller than a kids meal, you either have very little size variation, or the small would be like a single bite.
Yeah, that worker is one of two in the entire restaurant. She has to take your order plus the five behind you, the drive-thru orders, make fries, bag it all up, take your monkey, clean tables, make coffee, refill the ketchup/soda/milkshake/yogurt contraptions with their various bags of sugary goo, restock counters/tables with all the varied plastic and paper geegaws, take out the trash, stock the walk-in, clean the bathrooms somebody sprayed with liquid shit, then count out and get to her other job by 3pm so she can then do it all again tomorrow. She doesn’t give a fuck what anyone orders, it’s just a blur of colors and lower back pain.
If she makes a face it’s probably the best she can do to fake a smile because you might be a secret shopper who is going to ding her points for not saying, “Welcome to McDonald’s Home of the McFlurry™ now with DoubleStuff™ Oreo™, what can I get started for you today because It Just Tastes Better!!℠” with the proper amount of obsequiousness.
There’s plenty of reasons to hate the hellscape, no reason for anon to invent some.
She can’t have my monkey!
Twelve dallers? That’s a steal post-inflation.
I just fed myself and three kids on <$20, which was pretty cool.
When is the “post-inflation” going to happen? Haven’t seen any indication of inflation coming to an end in my lifetime.
Fuck yeah… Not really implying it’s over but there’s a huge spike from 2020 to 2022 but much less so from 2023 to (now) 2025.
Prices spiked from pre pandemic to post pandemic. Burgers from 8-10 dollars to 15 ish dollars. So like 50 percent. From two years ago to now… Idk. Burger spoked from 14 ish dollars tobamube 15-16. Ridiculous. But predictable/ reasonable (but actually inreasonabel).
That’s where I come from. Chime in from other countries other than my current state of mother fucking Georgia, USA…
Edit: happy to double check my math with sources when I’m sober again. Happy new year’s!
It’s always a good time to start Internet arguments when you’re drunk haha. Have a good new year’s eve!
Oh yes you, too!
Also, I googled when sober again.
So I guess I was referring to the “mountain” of inflation around 2022 that really made everything so expensive. And I notice now as well that inflation has stabilized at a higher rate then before. So to circle back… Yeah… Maybe calling it “post inflation” wasn’t quite spot on.
Anyway. Toodledoo!
