Large vs. Large
Every time that I go back to the States, I’m often amazed by the amount of food served at some restaurants. On this last trip, the wife and I visited a BBQ place for lunch. They gave us so much that we ate it for dinner also and were stuffed after both meals. We took my mother to a Korean restaurant. The servings there were double the size we would have expected in Korea. No wonder so many Americans are overweight.
The biggest surprise came when I ordered a large smoothie at Smoothie King. In Korea, a large at Smoothie King is roughly 20 ozs., the same size as a small in the US, where a large is 40. I like me some smoothies, but that was just way too much. I made the same mistake at Dairy Queen one day when I ordered a large malt. Never again. Americans really need to wake up. Quantity is just as important as quality when it comes to food, and Americans are eating too much.
I took a shot of the Korean Smoothie King cups this morning. Unfortunately, I have no pics from the US for comparison.
