The first time i went to the US i was also shocked about many things related to food and drinks. The sizes of the meals man. Just a starter was twice the size of what i consider a normal meal here. The sizes of coke's. The free refills. The coffee cups...crazy, just crazy.
It's absolutely no mystery why the US has a huge obesity problem.
