I wonder what the portion sizes were like back in 1988.

The people in this video -- customers and employees -- look fairly fit....at least when comparing to 2023.


I remember buying a BK Fish in the later 90s, walking hour from the skating rink. That fish patty was as thick and wide as a VHS tape. About the size of a 8 track cassette. No lie. The fries were way better then too.

I was around in 1988. But I don’t recall how portion sizes might have changed since then.

I remember at some point in the 1990s I started seeing 20 oz sodas everywhere.

Before it used to just be cans. Or the glass Coca Cola bottles but I don’t remember how many ounces those had.

It used to be cans, 1 liter and 2 liter bottles. And nobody would ever buy a 1 liter bottle for themselves. But I guess once the 20 oz bottles came in, the 1 liter bottles disappeared.

kids actually played outside and had recess instead of just staying inside on their phones.

Everyone taking their time, clean receptive atmosphere, no phones, no cameras recording, no homeless people posted up with an old dirty empty multipurpose water cup/mobile bathroom, no soggy lettuce on the whoppers, no one screaming at each other, you can actually get the burger your way cooked to order without it taking an extra 20 mins and an assigned number, the fries probably don’t smell like they were cooked in a vat of piss
