View Full Version : Not to sound like a Fat Hungry Slob, but does anyone know why... TVFactFan 12-01-2004, 08:07 PM Mcdonald's stop selling SUPERSIZE? No of the workers don't know the answer. Brent88 12-01-2004, 08:09 PM Because of junk lawsuits. People who sue because they eat it all and then complain when they gain weight. That's the reason they said. Dutabi84 12-01-2004, 08:09 PM :lol: Well some say it's due to the "Super Size Me" docufilm thingy that was released a while ago, but McDonalds denies it. I am Roboto 12-01-2004, 08:09 PM PR Move to "help" in the fight to curb obesity. It's stupid. People can just order two large fries.

Can I get that supersized? http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/icons/icon12.gif Well, this is older news than I thought. As for the fat people suing, I commend them. McDonalds (among other obvious fast food places) need to either reform, or get shut down. NONE of them serve anything remotely healthy. I don't care if they're convenient, take 10 minutes to make your own lunch before you go to school/work. It's far cheaper, and obviously healthier. They are contributing to America's growing epidemic of fat assery.

Like in one of the threads I posted back on the first page, I mentioned that I went to a Hardee's a few years ago and I ordered a medium cup of soda. To me - that should be 12 oz, right? I went to the window and nearly gave myself a heart attack when the girl at the window handed me a GIGANTIC cup. That was not what I asked for! :eek: I told her that and she said, "No, that's our medium," and I was like WTF... I've never even liked Hardees in the first place. I haven't been there in almost 2 years now. I never did finish that cup of soda...it was GIGANTIC! At least 30 oz. Geez.
