Supersizing your burger or fries is no longer the 'in' thing to do.
Now it's 'supersizing' the male sex organ... If a guy took all of the potions and pills to enhance his tool, he'd need a wheel barrow just to get around...

Considering all the spam that winds up in my file13 pushing Viagra, Cialis, plus Levitra plus all the rest pushing various schemes for enlarging the size of the male member, one cannot help but conclude that most of the men in America are having trouble getting it up and when they do, it's too small!
Ya can't win.

Just damn. McDonald's isn't a place where you should find "well balanced meals", and it should be the last place you should find a salad bar.

Oh come on McDonald's, don't give into the ridiculous food nazi's! This sets a dangerous precedent. You don't stop a bully by backing down, you encourage him to do more.

Probably only too happy to do it. Reduce the amount of fries but keep the price the same, or hope to sell multiple orders of fries.
I would buy still buy their fries had they not changed the recipe. What in the heck were they thinking? Now my potato chips (Lays) are touted as crunchier, but they have that generic stale chip taste. Heck, I CAN eat just one now.< /sorry OT >

I'd imagine that, since fries and drinks are cheap, losing the supersize feature is going to cost them a bit of money. Just pointing that out. I might be wrong but I don't think so.
To: kattracks
It's ok--I'll just order two.

And in an related story, McDonald's soon to go out of business!
When, not if, they go bankrupt, they have no one to blame but themselves.

The hamburger giant is phasing out its trademark Supersize fries and drinks in its U.S. restaurants as part of an effort to simplify its menu and give customers choices that support "a balanced lifestyle," a company spokesman said yesterday.
Guess we arent smart enough to say no when the kid at the drive thru asks us if we want it supersised.
To: kattracks
I don't need McDonald's becoming my nutricinists. Good grief. This is rediculous. Liberals always thaink they are sooooo d*** smart. Just stick to fries and hamburgers and I'll worry about my self, thank you.
