Thought of the Day

In Western Europe, people are shocked by the serving sizes in America.

They are equally shocked by the amount of ice we put in our drinks.

However, they do not realize that the reason for this is quite simple.

We Americans prefer our drinks cold. However, the more ice you place in your cup, the less fluid can sit inside. Therefore, we have larger serving sizes to compensate for the loss of space.

"While your back there," I called. "Bring me a soda. With cherry!" I added, at the last second. A few moments later, the man returned with my container of fried potatoes and my soda. I stared into the cup.
