  Yeah I’m reading this Aussie orders a large meal, received a large meal, and was ungrateful. When you’re in America, you accept your diabetes and say “thank you may I have another?”

    I think the key is that a large in Australia and a large in America can be vastly different.

    Comparison of American vs Australian drink sizes. The American servings are approximately twice as large as the Australian servings for small, medium, and large drinks

      Honestly it all depends on where you’re at when your ordering. For example, that “Large” shown there is what you get at a movie theater when ordering a Small.

      Wait…the smallest size in US is larger than the largest size in Oz? That aligns perfectly with my world view for once.

    Don’t Australians all hate America for having figured out how to make actually good beer?

      Nah australians are too busy surfing, smoking pot, hanging out with sasquaches, partying at the indigenous peoples sacred islands, and shooting the local wildlife. At least, thats what I learned from watching The Big Lez Show.
