    Default Is everything big in the US of A?

    Is everything big in the US of A? That is certainly the impression I get in Sweden. And I'm not speaking about the stereotype of big people with big hats, big cars and big guns in one hand and big Styrofoam hands on the other hand.

    If you go to a café (in Sweden), and order an American cookie, you get a 10 cm / 4 inch radius cookie. A regular, Swedish cookie is maybe half that radius (thus one forth the size). I could seriously last on one of those things for a whole day.

    Not to mention the "American muffins". I've seen smaller birthday cakes. ... that were supposed to last for 5 people.

    For further comparison: The biggest burger you can buy over here is a quarter pounder, and the most soda you can get with it is a liter (~33 oz).

    So, my question is: Is everything really that big in the US? Or is this just some idea some marketing guy came up with?

    Well, Our we have different sizes of cookies. o.o; Some are that big, others are smaller.

    Actually, the biggest muffin I've ever seen in my life was in Paris, because our muffins are actually that big, I don't think. o_o;

    And the biggest drink I think you can buy is a 2 Liter or in some rare cases, a 3 liter. o_o;


    As for the hamburgers, yeah, we have some pretty huge hamburgers. o_o;

    Things are bigger here, in some cases. And I never knew you didn't live in the U.S. Eris. xD

    (P.S: Thanks, Blasphemous, that's really nice. =/ )

    I've always thought American food was big, and we serve large portions. Especially if you go out to eat, seems like everything keeps getting bigger, (even the forks and knives.)

    Fat imo.

    Eh. I take my statement back and agree with Hattake.
    But Europeans are skinny.
    Because you guys never eat. And what you do eat, is um...not that good? So I can see why you only eat two meals a day.

    Exposure to good old country home cooking and you'd never leave America. ;D

    Dear America. Dear, dear America. Fattest nation out there, in the blue marble we call Earth. I have to admit, there are a lot of biggies here, but there are small things, too. You just don't hear about the smaller things in life (besides small iPods) because, for some reason, bigger is better. Like the Golden Gate, or Times Square; big places, big publicity. The cemetery where six men lay after their deaths in the Boston Massacre, not so much so.

    But, yeah, this is about food. >__>; Um, so, I do admit we have pretty big portions, but not all of us are fat.

    I don't know if you were directing that at me, but I live in Australia and am Australian.

    And I am not sure the statistics, but the majority of Americans are over weight and they have the most obese. Well so I heard; But I started believing it after visiting the country.

    No it wasn't directed at you, but I was just stating a fact. I don't believe European food is that great, and its no wonder why they only eat two meals a day. =P

    But yes, the Majority of Americans are overweight, but that doesn't mean you should stereotype that ALL Americans are overweight, just like Blasphemous up there shouldn't make an insinuating comment that Americans are unintelligent.

    I'm American. I'm not always proud of it, but there it is. I'm not obese, nor do I think I'm unintelligent. I'm not the brightest bulb of the bunch, but I do my best.

    Also, Eris, Americans have big egos, and big pride. ;D

    I went out to eat recently, and I couldn't even get a quarter pounder, I had to settle for a third of a pound, which was the smallest one they had!

    A regular burger over here is 90 g, that is something like 1/5 lbs. Small burgers are 45 g, 1/10lbs.

    Everything is big in America. Heck even the people are big. lol and i'm taking about the skinny people. The skinny people over there makes me look like i'm staved to death leaving nothing but skin and bones.

    The foods are large. Go to a breakfast restaurant and you get a plate with too many **** on to eat.

    Also, Eris, Americans have big egos, and big pride. ;D
    Trust it. Americans are very prideful people. And i always thought America is a little too patriotic. Well...i'm a Canadian and everyone here don't give a **** where we come from as long as we get beers. I don't like beers. I like hard liquors...getting off topic here cough cough. In conclusion, the Americans motta is..."Bigger, Better" or something like that. But thats all starting to change.

    Haha, it's true! I've been to France, Italy, Austria, Germany, China, and Japan. I haven't seen another country yet that serves as much food as America does.

    The other day we were in Beijing, and I decided to try the Kentucky Fried Chicken there. The chicken was so small compared to America's! I had to get like two combos.

    Here in America, I'm considered skinny. I'm about 5'4" and a half, and weigh around 125 lbs. But when I'm in foreign countries, I feel so fat! In China, my native country, my mom says I don't look like a normal Asian at all. I'm too... "strong", as she puts it. XD In other words America produces people with bigger bones and more fat.

    But that doesn't mean American people aren't friendly! =D

    Eh.... Well.
    I used to live in Wyoming. And in comparison from northern states to southern states, southern states are definately more generous with food. I don't like fast food resturaunts seeing as they don't help me with my diet and the fact most of them are nasty anyway. But like... I think that calling everything that's of a bigger portion 'American' is kinda, well, like said before, something a "...marketing guy came up with?"

    Asians, at least the ones I know in person, don't eat much. But if you order Chinese food and you end up with a weeks worth of food that doesn't mean all Chinese people eat that dog-gone-much, right? So, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that in some ways, yeah things in America are bigger but that does kinda sound like a marketing idea.

    'Hey, let's name this the American burger! Let's make it big!' Mm.

    But does all the American labeled food cost more? Because, a lot of Americans are cheap too. =/ (me, being one of them.)

    America is one of the most economically powerful and technologically advanced societies in the world but we also are the people with the smallest nutritional knowledge. Over sixty five percent of people in America are overweight. Most call it an Epidemic but it is not truly, if American's would get off the couch it wouldn't be an epidemic. It's more of an excuse. When it comes to American marketing it has to be expensive and big, especially when it comes to food. We always have to over do it, a fried chicken, quadruple beef, double bacon burger with cheese, butter and who knows what else. It is something truly to gawk at in disgust how America has gotten. Thinking of it greatly makes me want planetary destruction.

    And also...

    This is not stereotyping. This is generalization from statistics. Majority of America is overweight.

    Hm, well compared to Canada I'd say that the USA's food proportions are getting a lot bigger. In fact, I'm not sure if this applies to all of Canada but here in Ottawa everything is getting smaller and more expensive. So now, a lot of people are crossing the border to go shopping and to eat over in the USA.

    Also, I've traveled to quite a few places and all of the airports I've been to serve so much more than the restaurants in Ottawa's airport. Though, so far it's definitely USA for the win of who serves the most.

    Another thing...
    Why is it that other countries have adopted the same fast food joints as America? People in other countries eat just as horribly as Americans do. Comparitively speaking, however small the burger is it's still just as bad as a bigger burger. For smaller people, since it seems so many other countries have smaller people.

    Most of it's pretty big. There's a place near my town where you can get a one pound burger. I haven't really been to a fast food place recently, though, where I haven't gotten completely full....
