Not enough products are available in mansize quantities IMO.
Sure, you can get mansize tissues and sometimes other household products, but what about food!
There is king size, but this mostly applies to confectionary. I want my portions mansize damnit, including drinks, prepacked snacks and yes, especially meat.
Ever read the back of something and looked at what they consider a serving? Its pathetic! Usually 1/5th of the container, these portions are typically womansize portions for the size 6 bolemic that considers a leaf of lettuce one of her 5 portions of veg for the day and has a tic-tac for breakfast.
This is wrong and we are all being gipped - we pay so much more for so little.
Cans of Fanta should be 500ml for the money, hell lets make it 750ml, then they can release the thirsty bastard version at the full litre can, something you could be proud of.
50% extra free on a packet of Walkers? Nuts to you, its all bloody extra foil! I want 1kg of crisps in that packet, mash them up into smaller bits if necessary, but I want to know at least five King Edwards spuds have gone into that pack.
6oz of rump steak for Ã,£3? Get lost, give me that 16oz for that money, the mansize portion!
Who is with me?

Right on!
Men deserve to have proper portions of food tis complete sexual discrimination on the part of supermarkets.
there is hope - one of the few companies to stand up for male food rights:

lol!! :D the "thirsty bastard" drink size would be a good one.
Anyone noticed now since Mars have signed that they will no longer promote "kingsize" bars, theyve changed the labelling to "duo" :D lol and put two bars in the packet.
FFS!!! Relabelling food will not reduce obesity. Infact... two bars are easier to hide than one.
If I eat a kingsize in public I may feel a bit of a gfp (greedy fat pig), but the new duos... you snap em.. slide one in your pocket, eat the one side, then further down the road with a different bunch of people around you you can eat the other half without feeling any guilt over it! :D

The query made me think of this (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pjharvey/mansize.html).
Youre the unhealthiest country in Europe, but not as nasty as we are over here. We have man-size everything...

I just want larger portions, not necessarily of all the unhealthy food.
I cant understand how people can get to be fat the price of food the way it is here for what you get, they must have a giant pool of gold coins - Scrooge McDuck style - or maybe its a giant pool of chocolate gold coins...

The Scottish deep fry everything and they arnt all fat, so it must be because they are tight.

Do you really think the Yorkie marketing department wants you to *stop* buying their product?
Whats the best way to sell chocolate to girls? Tell them they cant have it and let them buy your product in defiance of your advertising so they can come on the internet and post about clever they are because theyve beaten you.
Classic :D

I never buy Yorkies, they are either far too small or expensive. I do have 10 300gm bars of Lindt milk chocolate with hazelnuts, one of which is being eaten now... :twisted:
Clockd, just buy family sized ones and ignore the label if you want more :roll:
