that means that our cup sizes are too large as well.

@@jasmine-zf5hv American McDonald's also uses beef fat in their fries - unlike the UK, where the fries are vegetarian. So you're not just eating fries if you order McDonald's fries in the USA.
So the U.K. serves Small, Medium & Large and the U.S. serves Large, Extra Large and XXL
And it's cheaper than the small, medium & large.

Lesson learned: Never order medium fries at Burger King
what if they don't have a small size , but they use the medium as a small ,because people don't order small as often as medium?
@@t-time62 Welcome to how McDonald's Norway operated. "Small menu" had medium fries and drink. "Medium Menu" had large size fries and drink. "Large Menu" was exactly the same as a medium menu, but you got an extra cheeseburger or double cheese for reduced price...
They've changed it now, so small is actual small. Medium is actual medium, and large is large.
This is the deal with a lot of fast food companies. The fry cups are always designed to look bigger, but they barely hold any more/less content.
@@MichaelRockfez thats why the best fries are from little places that just fill a brown lunch bag for you lol
Or anything, it's the shits
I love how the uk guys is just like “hi this is a small and this is a medium”

i like how he counts the fries, as if some teenager didn't just take a scoop and pour it into the bag.

I bagged fries at McDs as my first job. The official actual specific weight per size is really small. But even their ads say serving size is approximate because your using a scoop and I always overfilled.
5:50 Me at 4 am watching random videos and just having watched a video about the decoy effect: *interesting*
Note to self: Whenever in US, order everything small!
Except the drinks! The McDonald’s drink is only $1 in US currency and you get a good sized drink. You can sip on it all day if you’re used to much smaller portions. Just get light ice so it doesn’t dilute the flavor if you can’t drink our large fast enough.
@@brittany5416 No drinks, water bottles.
Ok👍
Yeah, if you're not native and didn't grow up with the large portions, don't get medium anything.
Because you'll end up with your XL equivalent.
When you order small in the US, you get a regular size.
I usually order small or medium in every fast food i get
These guys cracked open a worldwide Burger King fries conspiracy where the medium and small are actually the same size shocking
Legit I worked there 3 years and just quit .. it's better to either go for small or large medium is a total scam
And folks looked at me funny for getting onion rings 😂😂😂
Never buying medium again
@@fancypotato3829 didn't medium serve as the "bad offer" to make large more appealing?
This is actually fairly common. Not just with food. It's called goldilocks pricing. The idea is that most consumers naturally "compromise" and choose the middle option. So stores usually have the highest margins on that middle option. This also has the effect that for only a small dollar amount more, you can get way more fries. This has the effect of bumping people up from the middle option into the option that makes the store the most money.
In fairness for the domino's, the extra large is made with large dough, just pushed out flatter for "Brooklyn style," so you're getting a large, just thinner. Topping standard is the same as well iirc. Also starbucks for hot cups intentionally leave room unless you ask for no room with drip coffee. Iced coffee with no add-ins isn't supposed to have room but sometimes it happens, especially if it's busy and your drink was at the end of a pitcher. Can't speak to anything else but I worked at those two and knew the reasoning.
Imagine the feast they are going to have afterwards 😂
I know, I was wondering if the camera team were going to eat all that 😂

30 seconds in, I'm already amazed that mcdonald's just casually sells a 1 liter cup of soda as if you should be drinking that in one sitting
70% of those cups are ice, hence the free refills..
Ice increases every thing
@@jyztrik so if there's free refills, why bother paying more for the largest one if you can refill the smaller one as much as you want lol
@@ElAnikilador001 when my dad and brother were in the US they bought one of the big cups to share, they were about to throw their cup away and this lady came up to them like “no guys don’t throw that away! You get a free refill!”
@@ElAnikilador001 It is for those who take it to go (takeaway). Yes, when eating inside people get a smaller cup and take advantage of the free refills. But even some of those want to take a cup with them after eating in, so you can still get the larger cup when eating in because you plan to take it with you when you leave and have a drink later. It is all about options.
I think more interesting/revealing comparisons are the junk food ratios.; countries average income vs prices. In Asia, it's expensive and seen as aspirational whereas in the UK it's seen as cheap food of the poor. Mind you, it's not as expensive as it once was; that's reflected by the noticeable change in physical form of many Asians.
This is so 🧐 fascinating. I have experienced a few of theses examples in both countries and it’s very strange. Especially the soft drink/beverage versions which are rather glaring.

@@dabmaste What did he say
USA: “how did obesity become such a problem here!?”
I think the problem is bigger than just fast food portion sizes. These massive portions would be fine if people went out for fast food once a week, the problem is people getting take out almost every day, and washing their burger and large fries with a big fat milk shake and then having some cookies on top for dessert.
The real problem with Americans is that they seem utterly incapable of moderation, and this mindset goes way beyond just food and that's why it's a country of such extremes.
Simple...
Welcome to Burger King can I take your order.
Yes I like a Whopper meal.
Would you like yo upgrade to our Texas Double whopper for a buck more?
Sure.
Medium or large? Large is only 79 cents more.
Large please..
Ok that'll be 11.89 please pull forward....
There you go folks thats why we have an obesity problem the way folks are trained to portion upgrade your meal since the invention of the drive thru is one of many reasons why we have such a health problem in the US.
@@BigUriel Its cheaper immediately to get fast food and to stock up on fast food than to get fresh produce for cooking. And that is also assuming you have the time to cook. I’ve had to live off rice for a few months and fast food. I couldn’t afford produce for cooking. So I’d chop up fast food find frozen veggies and meal prep every other day.
It’s not about “just moderation.”
i was literally thinking the same lmao!
There's really not much difference in weight between the average Briton and American, about 5kg. The difference seems to be in that in the UK those who are overweight are nowhere near AS overweight as those in the US. A lot to do with the relative difficulty in getting fresh veggies and fruit on a low income in the US, and how very cheap junk food is.
The extra large pizza with 6 slices made me laugh pretty hard
I gotta stop watching this kinda videos when I’m this hungry 🤤
The US guy sounds very proud that the portions is larger in the US
The UK and the US are neck and neck in terms of obesity and life expectancy. Given that fact, I'd rather have more size options.
@@ericmanget4280 actually the us have more obesity rates then the uk by a bit not neck and neck.. soo..
asian portions are pretty lamentable. Big mac more like small mac
@@yumixo4598 yes the us does have larger obesity rates but you also have to include other factors, like the us has more than 3x England’s population. And though some may not think of this, but obesity can also be caused by genes that you get in your ethnicity. Some people are just born with low metabolism and that is the difference, Americans tend to have lower metabolism than those of the English descent.
You know, Americans eat much more fastfood
I love how the US dude is happy about this like “dam we gonna die” 😂

I live in the Middle East, where fast food is considered a luxury. I eat fast food once a month.
Your own cuisine is far superior to fast food garbage.
This was a fun video but some of it was done better than other parts. The soft drink comparisons were really good and definitely showed how comparable sizes were much larger in the US. Other parts were less good. If the US largest size is advertised as a sharing size then it's not really fair to compare it to a large single size in the UK. Sure you could argue that people don't actually share these sizes, but we don't have any data on that here, and it could also be argued that the US is offering more value options for large parties of people. I also would have liked to see the pizzas weighed since they were pretty close in size. Pouring out the Starbucks was unnecessary since it could have just been down to the particular store and the advertised brand sizes are what should be compared. And why no mcdonalds fries??? You do KFC/BK fries and not McD c'mon.

@@maretvilla1531 why would you even need a refill when you're already drink that big thing it's just doesn't make sense that's why there is a refill.
@@Apman99 Some people they want to take home their drink or they want a drink in their car. Btw, the soda station is in the dining room so you're not going to bother the employees. You just walk up there and get your drink.

@@dreamimgflowerd976 Yep, as most fast food places seem to try and make the medium look larger but the quantity not much so. That said when I travel to the US, the small of everything is not even small. Like who on earth needs over 450ml of soda in one sitting? Do American's feel that is a small portion?
The way that 3 foot long sub slid out of that box was comical

One thing that makes this funny to think about is that each of these meals is cheaper in the US compared to Norway, and probably also UK.

I live in Shanghai, China, and the last time I visited the U.S. I went to some American fast food places that don't really exist in China. I don't remember which place it was, maybe Chick Fil A, but one of my friends got a large soda and it was GIANT. Like the size of your head giant. I got a medium, which was even bigger than a large in Shanghai. We ended up with a lot more soda than we anticipated because of how large the portions were. It was insane. How does one person drink all of that soda??? If you poured water in the American Large cup it'd probably be enough to hydrate you for the entire day.

Overpriced over roasted crap!
In the UK my local BK always try to screw you on the large fries. I started weighing them when they got delivered, as they always looked like a tiny amount. They were usually 80-90 grams. The BK UK website's nutritional information says that a large fries is meant to be 159 grams. So whenever I order I now put a comment "I know a LARGE FRIES portion is meant to be 159 grams, can you plz make sure mine are close to that! THANKS! :)" and every time I get a proper portion (yeah, okay, I probably get some bodily fluids added for free instead though 🤔). If I forget the message, they go right back to screwing me.
It's not an accident, they're doing this on purpose. A lot of the review comments on the market-leading food delivery service complain that the BK fries portions are too small. How much money does it really save to cheat customers out of 70-80 grams of fries!? Especially when BK charge £2.89 for a large fries and McDonalds charge £1.49 for their large - BK charge nearly twice as much, so must make a good deal more profit on theirs anyway without the cheeky portion sizes, way smaller than advertised!
They are sometimes also cheating us on the burgers too. An XL Bacon Double Cheese Burger is meant to have three slices of cheese, often they add just two. When they temporarily did the Bacon King Burger, it was meant to have four slices, but often is was just the two.
When all restaurants originally closed due to COVID, BK were doing one of their limited-time-only burgers which used some weird cheese. Months later when they reopened instead of chucking that cheese out, they used it in place the normal cheese for all burgers to use it up. Changing the advertised product without saying so. Two restaurants at least 20 miles apart both did this, so I guess is was approved by corporate.
BK may be miles better than McDonalds when it comes to taste, but they sure don't seem to mind treating their customers like chumps. Wendy's just moved back into the UK market this year and started to open their new restaurants, I hope we get one in my town.
@@paladestar9758 Everything tastes better with the spit sauce😂😂
When i want burger i just order it from a local shop! Superior burger and it is even cheaper :)
@@paladestar9758 I worked in restaurants for over a decade. Only ONCE did I ever see anything go out with spit in it. It was a regular group who was notoriously hard on staff and had made their server cry the previous week.
The really interesting thing would be to know the prices. I suspect, having visited the US from the UK, that the US prices are also significantly cheaper for a significantly bigger portion.
The question is whether that's a good or a bad thing when it comes to junk food?
@@dennislindqvist8443 Depends on your perspective but I'd argue that more junk food for less cost is a bad thing!
@@dennislindqvist8443 Your answer is in the name..."junk food"
I wanna believe the UK charges more for a drink upgrade. The U.S. always pushes for cheap fizzy drinks. In the fast food restaurants they almost all been caught recently in news investigations about how they pitch you only for medium or large portions on drive thru orders even tho the customer wanted a small or regular. And as for other places you can go to gas stations and get a liter cup for less than a 20 oz bottle of coke the price of the coke is about 2 dollars now or pitched at 2 for 3 bucks but you can get this liter o fizzy drink from the fountain for 1.89 plus if you have those rewards programs you can get a free drink after 6 to 8 buys depends who you buy it from.
We pay less in the US because regardless of size and portion there's probably less actual food in those meals
Maybe I missed it, but no mention of price at all. Today the exchange rate is 1 pound = 1.39 dollars. For example, a Big mac meal cost 5.19 in the uk and 5.99 in the US. You could easily share one meal in the US between two people, not so much with a "normal" serving. It depends on how much you have, and how much you would like like.
As an Australian it’s so weird hearing them call hungry jacks “Burger King”
I like how the British dude is to the point and American gets all excited
That’s because the American is using sarcasm to shame his countrymen. He’s being overly dramatic to make Americans feel guilty for having larger portion sizes.
Mataram is red
@@whiteguy4282 its not that deep lmao
@@kevindontcare9991 I think so.
@@whiteguy4282 you acting like us americans are even shameful of having bigger portions than most of the world has we take it with pride
Surprised I haven’t seen any “this is why Americans are fatter” comments lol
Cause it's been overused to the point of cringe lol
Surprised I’m still seeing

Because we all know it and there's no point in commenting it
It's just common knowledge, not surprising anymore
@@szsmix Did someone hurt you? You seem to be way too emotional for a youtube comments section mate, calm down ffs😂
A super sized ice coffee really does sound good though
I’m hopefully not the only one who instantly thought on the Anime “food wars” as I read the title ^^
I like how the guy doing the USA side always goes "blughhhhh" when picking up the large size
Lmao
He definitely tried to sound like picking-up a large soda was about as much as he could handle.
When I first went to the US, I went to Wendy's and asked for a medium sized menu. When they gave me my drink, I legit said "Oh sorry, I asked for the medium" and they were like... "ma'am, that IS a medium..." 😂 That's when I knew I was definitely in America now.
Did you see how much ice was in it?
I agree with the ice comment on most drinks at most places but Wendy’s mediums really are super giant. The size of McD’s larges.
Same when I first went to Denny's, ordered a "small starter" portion of Nachos & this huge plate full came out, like a big sharing platter, we couldn't eat our mains lol
Wendy's still surprises me with its medium and I LIVE HERE. Some places are crazy with there definition of "Medium," mainly at Wendy's and Movie Theaters...
Wendy's and Arby's are like here's a bucket of drink. 😬
Imagine being the guy presenting the food and starving and the food looks good
you should have included prices (and currency conversion) and compare that too. and maybe figure out per x grams (or something).
when i worked at MCdonalds, and i had to scoop fries, i packed them as full as possible so they would stay warmer and the people got more for their money... not like ol'mcdonnald is gonna miss those couple fries
E-I-E-I-O !!!!
And i thank and love you for that👍😁❤
Some Hero's are just not acknowledged enough :).
@please You were already fat, the fries simply gravitated towards you due to the laws of nature, and your proximity to McDonalds.
you are a good persoj
“3 feet yeah that’s 17 meters” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's sandwiches to a whole whale.
Tell me your American, without saying you’re American lol
@@caolkyle im obese (im not american)
1 feet is 33 sentimetar so 3 feet is 1 meter
Sorry English isn’t my native language
@@lukach3043 it’s okay! Also it’s “Centimeter” with a C. Might come in handy someday :D
Lol he strained to pick up a large McDonald's cup lol
Would be good to know the difference in price for the portions.
