    We need to incorporate portion veracity into food sanitation checks. Food safety guy goes in, buys all three sizes of fries, weighs them all, compares to the nutritional fact values posted by the company.

      I got a large fry from BK a couple weeks ago and it had less fries than my wife’s medium. BK’s response was that mine probably settled more than hers.

        A nice way of saying Fuck Off, basically. No consumer protections for this kind of thing exist, at least in the USA. Other than Weights and Measures enforcing scale calibrations if you buy things by weight.

        Happened to me at Chick-Fil-A a week or two ago. Ruined my day. I came very close to actually calling the number on my receipt to complain lol

      I’m all about this, except for the side effect that it might force Five Guys to give less fries with the “little” and “regular” sizes.

      Right now they just throw a cup in a bag, and then fill the bag with fries no matter what size you get lol

        They’re already required to provide nutrition info. They’re free to have undersized fry cups as a marketing gimmick, but need to accurately represent how much they give you.
