Damn the Man!And you're so right, ...Rage on, Adam! Damn the Man!<BR/><BR/>And you're so right, Grumpator. I never could eat a whole one of those Cold Stone "small" sizes. The husband and I used to share the "small."<BR/><BR/>Two sizes: 8 oz and 12 oz. Never more. Unless it's water.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, my dad told me that Dasani finally came out and admitted they've been using tap water this whole time. Anyone else hear this? Doesn't surprise me. Tap water usually has stricter guidelines than bottled water anyway (so says Barbara Kingsolver). You're probably better off drinking tap.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237921600705834870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918674200338298429.post-25344746500087706632007-09-12T15:23:00.000-04:002007-09-12T15:23:00.000-04:00Corn, corn, corn. Everywhere I look there is corn...Corn, corn, corn. Everywhere I look there is corn. In a cup, in a box, on a cone, and my personal favorite, corn on corn. Gota love the corn.<BR/><BR/>But I am moving a little past the corn and on to the food "MAN". The man is amazing. The man has decided to bump the size of a coke from 8 to 12 oz. Then deciding that if people will drink 12 oz of corn syrup, surely they will drink 24 right. And so they did. hmmm if they will drink 24 oz of cob in a cup, would they Double Gulp it out of a 64 oz cup? Sure will Mr. Man. I see, says the man (wheels turning in head). If that is true with corn in a cup, how about corn in a bun? If they will eat a burger that is 1/8 of a pound, will they also go to 1/4 of a pounder? They will? Well then how about a 1/3 pounder? Again yes? Hot Damn!<BR/><BR/>So what this tells me is that the Man, with his cleaver marketing, has found a way to change the average McCorn customer. Joe public used to eat a 1/8 pound burger and washed it down with an 8 oz drink. But now Joe orders a 1/3 pound burger and washes it down with a 64 oz drink! My hat is off to the Man!<BR/><BR/>Just think what stock at Ford would be if people suddenly thought they needed 3 times as many cars! Or has that already happened too?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926872359403916012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918674200338298429.post-25473687606608419422007-09-12T15:18:00.000-04:002007-09-12T15:18:00.000-04:00I'm so with you on the portion sizes - I may love ...I'm so with you on the portion sizes - I may love me some ice cream, but I wish Cold Stone made it easier to get a smaller portion than their small. That small is still huge.<BR/><BR/>If LA did a portion size ban instead of a fat ban, I bet more people would lose a little weight.Analihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395667362920899119noreply@blogger.com
