Everything’s Bigger In America …

Obesity.
Contributor to environmental damage.
Debt.
Oil use.
War instigator.
Prejudice.
And this …

As sad people who have followed this blog for a long time, I’ve often posted photos of the burgers I have in hotels but whilst others have been tastier, quicker to be delivered and more attractive … I’ve never had one that had so much stuff shoved into the bun and surrounded by so many bloody fries.

Unlike that scene in Michael Douglas movie “Falling Down” … the one where he pulls out a gun to threaten staff when the burger he gets looks nothing like the burger on the menu … this was totally the opposite.

The burger I got looked EXACTLY like the one on the menu except – and it’s a BIIIIIIG except – instead of the bun being filled full of meat, this one was boosted with tomatoes, onion, mushroom, lettuce, cheese and bacon.

Now there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever, however when the actual size of the meat patty is so small even Posh Spice wouldn’t be filled, it shows the dramatic decline in America’s values and standards.

Hell, they even called the 7,361,239 fries, FRENCH Fries … where’s the ‘Freedom Fries’ bollocks gone?

You know America’s hurting when they even let the Frogs off the hook.

Anyway, I’m off out to go and get mugged in the Portland rain [though everyone I’ve met so far is carefully avoiding any eye contact because they think I’m some kind of nutter, probably due to my insistence of wearing Birkenstocks even though it’s rather cold] so until next time, have a top one.

Oh, and for those of you that were wondering, the answer is …

Buuuuuuuuuuurp!

PS: And for the record, you can keep your comments about the inaccuracies of my opening paragraph, to yourself.

Never understood the big portions they feed you in America. That is until you see how overweight some Americans can be.

I have never seen a country where people throw away so much food.
