Burger King sizes- This makes no sense

[Monty22 833]

I try not to eat fast food too often, but today I was pressed for time at work and ran out for some Burger King. I order the "Number 1" Whopper meal, and the Fry Attendant asks- "what size would you like- medium, large or king size?" I'm not sure why this bothers me so much, but you can't have the medium size be the smallest. It just doesn’t make any sense. Here is what Webster had to say (the dictionary, not the former child star):

Main Entry: 1me•di•um

Pronunciation: \ˈmē-dē-əm\

Function: noun

Inflected Form(s): plural mediums or me·dia \-dē-ə\

Etymology: Latin, from neuter of medius middle — more at mid

Date: 1593

1 a: something in a middle position

Am I just having a bad day, or does this bother anyone else?

Well, ordering a "medium" meal for $4.99 seems like a much better deal than buying a "small" for the same price...then you get your fries and say "THIS is a fucking medium???".

Screw the Whopper...The Quad Stacker is where it's at.

You must have been next to me when I opened the bag to reveal my "Frypod"- that's exactly what I said. There were like 7 fries in this excuse for a serving. Bastards

You opted for King, with inion rings instead of fries, didn't you?

I think McDonald's has done the same thing, small is now child, so you can only get medium unless you're buying for a child, but they have no supersize after a lawsuit, so large is now the same size super was.

What was so wrong with small, medium or large?

Hey, my knee isn't getting any better - my competitive career is likely over. I'm still in the gym/on the ice just about everyday, but I eat whatever I want now that I don't have to worry about being in "peak" condition. As long as my body-fat percentage stays below 10 and my girlfriend can still get-off by rubbing my abs, I really don't care ;)

I think they still have a Supersize, but it is not suggested by the server. "Would you like to Supersize?" is out of the script.

Never heard about that...what was wrong with "Super Size"?

[hockeyherb 1]

Because your average North American consumer who frequents these places doesn't want to see anything small - they must have 'value' for their money ie. big ass portions. They can fool themselves by having McDonald's get rid of supersizing, but I'll bet nobody who eats this stuff regularly has lost any weight because of it.

I love me my Whataburger though. I'm so weak. :(

Aren't there smalls on the value menu? A kids drink could be a small.

It only means that a small isn't available in a value meal. You need to relax.

You would be very, very suprised how many young people think they're healthy because they play some sports or go to the gym, but have horrible cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Anyone from Jersey ever try the chicken finger, french fry, mozzarella stick sandwhich offered at some local campus food place at Rutgers? I think it was Rutgers...

[Jason Harris 31]

What was so wrong with small, medium or large?

They actually have four cup sizes: small, medium, large and king. So the value meal refers to the cup (and fries) size.

Ah the grease trucks. I think it's called the fat Darryl or something? I only had it once and after losing 40 pounds I don't think I wanna eat that ever again, as good as it was. :)
