I have long heard about our food proportions getting out of hand but it wasn't until I ordered a medium drink from a fast food chain that it really hit me. Upon receiving my "medium" drink I thought the cashier had made a mistake. This drink was almost as big as my head but apparently it was no mistake, my medium drink was a medium drink. Puzzled I went home to measure how many ounces it contained. To my surprise it was 30 ounces! That's two and half cans of soda. I was thirsty but not that thirsty. I guess it's a good thing I ordered ice tea?
