I hate when food is advertised as "right size". That's just a clever way of saying that it is nothing more than a snack and you'll have to order several of them to equal a single meal. I remember TGIFriday's used to have something similar to "right price, right portion", and it was the saddest collection of minuscule meals I'd ever seen.

But of course the pictures are always super zoomed in so you don't know what you're getting till you order it.

Hahaha I feel the same way. Whenever I see that I think "I need 3 of those, everything else supersized, maybe chicken nuggets on the size".

Even at 3 of them, it's only 3 bucks. The normal sandwiches alone are more than that usually!

Kind of like "fun size" candy bars. What's so fun about my snickers bar only being an inch and a half long?

I've actually made that comment (not here) before as well. What a strange marketing ploy, I think. Nothing fun about a tiny candy bar.


It wouldn't work too well in other situations:

"Hey baby, my dick ain't small, it's Fun Sized!"

Well "King" makes sense because it implies a larger size. A "King size mattress", for example. However, we'd never call a small mattress "fun size". It's completely retarded.

I call midgets Fun size... They don't seem very fun afterwards.

This thread turned in to a shitty comedy club from the early 90's. How are none of you going on about airline food and how women be shoppin'?

What's the deal with fun size? I mean, it's not even fun!
