    Yeah I’m reading this Aussie orders a large meal, received a large meal, and was ungrateful. When you’re in America, you accept your diabetes and say “thank you may I have another?”

      I think the key is that a large in Australia and a large in America can be vastly different.

      Comparison of American vs Australian drink sizes. The American servings are approximately twice as large as the Australian servings for small, medium, and large drinks

        Wait…the smallest size in US is larger than the largest size in Oz? That aligns perfectly with my world view for once.

        Honestly it all depends on where you’re at when your ordering. For example, that “Large” shown there is what you get at a movie theater when ordering a Small.

        Yeah but he has reasonable healthcare so I, as an American, still don’t see what the problem is.

        thirst quenched by 650 ml

        Pathetic. I will never respect an Australian again.

      Don’t Australians all hate America for having figured out how to make actually good beer?

        Nah australians are too busy with other things to be hating. Surfing, smoking pot, hanging out with sasquaches, partying at the indigenous peoples sacred islands, and shooting the local wildlife. At least, thats what I learned from watching The Big Lez Show.

        I thought it was young Albert Einstein who figured out how to make actually good beer by splitting the beer atom and therefore introducing bubbles in an otherwise flat beer?

        Australia adopted American innovations in good beer. What we complain about is that your mainstream beers are weak and boring, where ours are strong and boring

        What I didn’t like is in some states (such as New York) when I was last there don’t require beer to carry alcohol content information, so buying good beer I had to trust that the beer was going to be about the right strength for the style

        One thing I liked about Amtrak is they sold good local beers on board, though I only experienced Amtrak in the north east (having been told that that was the best way to arrive in New York City)

          Ah, so you’re Belgian? That’s the only country allowed to throw shade like that

          Wow, one Belgium-hater in the crowds.
