In the UK they still use cardboard boxes but in France they use reusable plastic boxes. They also use reusable plastic cups for drinks.

Are the contents less by weight? I don’t doubt your frustration. But when I was a kid, the happy meals came in a cardboard box, but not they come in a paper bag (at least in Japan). Obviously to save money. Maybe they just cut the cardboard box to save money? FWIW I actually ate a large fries yesterday and they came in the traditional packaging, so this was surprising for me.

wdym reusable? You take it back to the restaurant next time you go? You eat in and they collect it after you leave?

I think it only applies for eat in but not 100% sure.

I was going to say they should go porcelain if it’s in location but I guess they don’t trust kids with them. Can’t stop thinking of microplastics tho

It seemed like less but I can’t deny that it could be placebo. It seemed like we got through it pretty fast though

Not sure what the rules are where you are, but one way is to check the menu for calories if they need to be listed.
Then you can tell exactly what the size difference is between a small, medium and large, assuming they aren’t lying about the calories, or that they actually fill it to the proper size.
