Seven Wonders

2006-12-22 Fri 18:26

Speaking of MacDonald’s, one of my seven wonders of the world is the size of MacDonald’s hamburgers. If you have an experience of overseas travel and have ordered meals at a MacDonald’s restaurant, you may have been surprised to see the size of the cup of the beverage. When I visited Singapore, I ordered a large size of Coke because I was very thirsty. The size of the cup was three times larger than Japanese one. The amount looked about 1.5 litters.

One of my seven wonders of the world is the size of MacDonald’s hamburgers.

The size of the soft drinks is huge, but the hamburger size is the same as Japanese one. American people are much bigger than Japanese people in general. They eat a huge amount of food compared with Japanese people. Nevertheless, the MacDonald’s hamburger size is the same as Japanese one. In England, the size is the same, too.

When I was a kid, I saw an American baseball player, who was playing in a Japanese pro baseball team, buying a MacDonald’s hamburger. I thought at that time that he could eat 10 hamburgers. But he bought only one.

Now I suspect that American people eat MacDonald's hamburgers as Oyatsu, a snack between lunch and supper.
