Increasing Portion Sizes: 20 Years Ago vs. Today

When I was growing up McD's advertised:

"Hamburger, fries and a coke, with change back from your dollar".

This was a lunch or dinner for an adult.

The sizes of all three were the same as are in a current Happy Meal for kids.

"Simply" tell you?

It isn't simple! I love latkes and tsimmes and gefilte fish and matzo ball soup and kugel (both potato and noodle) and blintzes and chopped liver and ruglelah and hamentaschen and brisket and mushroom barley soup and farfel and kasha varnishka and pastrami and what else have you got?

"You need not worry about your future"...

Well... we'll see.

But they could mean it's because I don't have a future. Fortune cookies are like that.

Depends on the usage.... for some things I need crispy (spinach salad) for some I like pliant (BLT)

There is no such thing as bad bacon!

Crispy and pliant... both are great.

Nitpicky point, but... true, the bigass burger wasn't available at those places 20 years ago, but the smaller sizes still are. In fact, in a lot of cases, the smaller sizes are actually smaller than they were back then (1/10 lb now vs. 1/8 lb then). Except for the coffee (difference in tastes AND portions), the rest are very legitimate comparisons though. And a little scary.
