Yep. Of all the places to fall prey to a con. It happened while I was taking my 2 year old to lunch at a place where she can also burn off some of that energy. But, that's how they bring you in. Then, when you get to the counter, the con comes to play: Would you like that meal value-sized? Sure, of course. I love value. Who am I to argue with saving a few pennies? Afterall, my concentration is a bit split between you, and my daughter who is discovering that fries on the floor are extra tasty. Don't eat that. Here's my hard earned cash. Thank you.
Imagine my surprise when I got my diet Dr. Pepper. It was huge! My fry box was also Gi-normous! Do'oh! Value-size is codeword for the largest portion of food you can stuff down your throat! Shhh! Don't tell anyone!!!.
I took it. And they happily took my money. I didn't want to waste the extra food, and I didn't complain as I got exactly what I ordered. I just thought value also meant small. I guess the extra calories I consumed just makes my stomach more 'valuable'.
