I was talking with some people just the other day. One of the (older) ladies could remember when Cokes were a nickel, but they were 8 ounces. Now, you pay at least 75¢ for 16 ounces. Do we really need to have twice as much?

Same with the whole Supersizing, Biggie Sizing, MegaSizing bit. I've often wondered why I can't seem to get a large ice tea and a small french fries! The food industry - not just the fast food industry - just doesn't get it!

And, no, I'm not trying to rationalize the whole issue. I just think our society has become too polarized on it, and the food industry just pushes the poles further apart.
