BK loves the fatties
Step one in welcoming fat America was the wider seats in airplanes. It was only a matter of time before our “restaurants” starting taking advantage of these human-hippos. Enter Burger King, with their latest installment.
Prior to this, the BK added a “King” size to their value meals. Yes, that’s right… A bucket of fries and a veritable gallon of soda just wasn’t enough. So I’m in the local BK drive-thru, and I ask for a value meal in a “Medium” size. The pimple faced teenager on the other side of the window informs me that “Medium is now small”. What the hell does that mean? So I ask her to explain.
It seems that Burger King has officially thrown out the “small” size for their “value meals”. Apparently, either no one was buying them, or BK has decided that the portion once offered as “medium” is now the smallest sized portion they are willing to sell.
To recap: Small sizes are gone. Medium is the new small, large is the new medium, and the size for true fatties “King” is now just called large. That should make people feel a lot better about ordering their Double Whopper with cheese, trough of fries, and a DIET coke.
Doesn’t this sound like something we’ve seen before? You can’t be “obese” if we change the definition!
America is headed down a dark and scary road with a massively overweight dead-end.
Apparently rocket science, the idea of a “passing lane” eludes most people. I have found that this is the case regardless of what state, city, or highway you are on.
