 Supersize me again On 2007-07-23 15:52 Looks like the supersize coke is available in the US again. After the quite good "Supersize me" documentary by Morgan Spurlock, McDonalds decided to remove the supersize versions of drinks from their menu. It didn't last very long as it is apparently back with a funky name "HUGO" which should have been named "HUGE-U" or something like that. 42 ounces of coke, which means 1.2 litres to drink containing 410 calories. That's 15% of the calories I have every day ! In just one drink ^^. I guess people won't get slimmer in the US but I guess if people buy it why not selling it ? The other day I was watching that charity show on tv and I thought if McDonalds was offering reduced portion (like 20% less) for the same price (doesn't have to be mandatory), and give the 20% they save up to the poor people, McDonalds fans might buy it, therefore eat less and give money to the poor. McDonalds could also use this for their publicity but would people in the US be ready to pay the same amount to get less food ? Maybe in California, New York or other strongholds but in rural america... might not be a so good idea there.

Can you believe I don't even have to leave my big, fat honkin' SUV? By Hill, Billy On 2007-07-24 01:46 I ain't sharin' with noone!
