Truth is that I don't really know if Alaska is twice as big, but I think the line is funny all the same.

I see. Yeah, maybe I'm too young cause I gew up with the phrase" everything is bigger in Texas" (yeah everyone still says it). But, I don't think I've ever met anyone who really cared whether Alaska was bigger or not.
Though I do have the "Texas is bigger than France" sticker on my fridge that I find amusing.
