When I go through the drive through and they mistakenly give me one of these things, these absolute monstrosities which don’t fit into any category of food, I just laugh and give it back, I don’t care if I’ve paid for it through some meal deal.
It’s ridiculous.
When someone asked me the other day re: German socialized medicine vis a vis Obamacare and the potential benefits, the answer was a very quick: Germans take care of their nutrition the way people in this country used to. We don’t have the resources they do to manage the plethora of obese people who won’t take care of themselves and who want the medical system to do it for them as they refuse to comply with medical orders and advice.
We have a thirty six percent obesity rate. That alone should take us out of the running for having a socialized medicine system, not to mention that the German system is not at all satisfactory.
And the waddling women I see regularly carrying these ginormous sodas around are atrocious, though they won’t make it past 65, they’ll utilize tremendous resources on the way.
Still, I enjoy using my choice to laugh and give the thing back.
I don’t need Mooch, who can’t dress to save her life or reputation and whose fat form I wish to never see, telling me nor Mayor Bloomberg telling me I’m too stupid to know how to take care of my nutrition.
They can check their own behaviors.
I bet the teenagers in the drive-thru think you’re a nut or a pain-in-the-a$$ or maybe both.
Why don’t you just accept the drink and drink the amount you want to drink instead of wasting it, since they will probably throw it away anyway?
