i'm not much of a soda drinker (or pop as some people choose to call it) i definitely wasn't always that way. i used to drink it every day. sometimes several times a day. but now water is my friend.
but every now and again, i get that hankerin' for a nice cold soda. (or pop as some people say) which happened earlier this week. so monday, when i found myself out and about at 2 and i still hadn't had lunch, i headed to wendys and decided to get a soda (or pop as some people call it)
for a split second i had to think about what size to order.
a small would be...too small. two sips and it would be gone and it wouldn't fulfill my craving. a large would...very obviously be too large. i don't want to drown in my soda (or pop as some people refer to it as) so medium was obviously the logical choice.
but holy hannah!! when did medium get so large?! when did medium become the new large?! if that was a medium, what does the large look like?!
no wonder there are so many unhealthy people in america. we can get a bucket of soda (or pop if you wish) for a little over a buck.
i'm sure it has nothing to do with the food that we order at these places too. (in my defense i did get a salad) (ignore the fried greasy chicken nuggets i got) (and in my defense, i rarely eat fast food) (and by rarely i mean, it takes an hour to get to sonic, so i have to limit myself)

i know! when dad and i stop, before i can say a word he'll order it "up-sized" and then I have a bucket of soda (and all i REALLY wanted was the ice!) and i feel so wasteful throwing it out. same with the fries and burger. i usually just order a kids or "value" size just so i'm not throwing away a ton of food i just paid a fortune for.
Brilliant. I have to laugh. I am a go-to-a-fast-food-restaurant-a-few-times-a-week mom. I'm lazy like that. I am mean, though, and only get water for me and the kids. See, I am all about the torture.
I thought all the drinks were smaller than they were before Super Size Me came out?
