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.

@@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.
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.
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.
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.

@@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.
@@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.
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.
Well. In 🇺🇸, it's free refill but not in UK. Might as well get large and then take it home. That's what we do all the time. Edit: Talking of drinks only.
@@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.
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
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.
It actually depends on your lifestyle. Cholesterol is one of our most important lipids and essential for cell membrane stability. Cholesterol is good, but not when you do no exercise.
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.
@@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?
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.

@@lunavictoriarose7772 The video was lighthearted, saying“Bigger ego” and “food not gold” I think is fine since he did seem proud to go bigger. But imposing the thought of a heart attack is unnecessary. It’s like wishing death for him. That’s why I don’t like that part of your comment.
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.”
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 UK get massively shorted on portion size by KFC. They divide one bird into nine portions whilst most independent fried chicken places will quarter or halve the bird.
KFC cut their chickens into 9, and 18 peices packed into a bag called a 2 head, because it has 2 chickens in. 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 legs, 2 ribs 1 breast
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.
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...
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.
What makes me laugh is that people will say soft drink/soda is what puts weight on eople. They ignore the huge slabs of burger awash in fat and blame the sugar.
AFAIK it's common in the US to _fill_ the thing with ice before adding the soda. Very strange, and almost too cold to drink. Here (Sweden) it's like five ice cubes in the entire cup.
@@xymonau2468 Eating excess calories of fat will of course make you fat but sugar metabolises into fat and also damages your liver so it is less and less capable of using it effectively so sugar is, generally speaking, much worse for you than fat. Healthy fats don't make people fat - sugar nearly always will make you fat.
@@FigureFarter The UK also uses feet, inches, ounces, stones?? and stuff like that my metric system raised ass still has to figure out what is even going on
Two things: 'the imperial metric system" is a contradiction in terms, and the metric system was first used in France in 1795. I accept language can sometimes be an obstacle, but knowledge never is. No social media offence intended - take care and stay safe Sir!
I think a better comparison when it comes to Starbucks is the sugar content in drinks. Sizes are similar but outside the US most other countries use less sugar.
the US uses less sugar? in the UK most of our drinks have 0 sugar and taste like crap because the government taxes sugary drinks. I'm so excited to drink fanta and dr pepper when I visit the US because that's how ours used to taste before the tax
Not normal coffee, just the more popular drinks is what should have been tested, sizes are close but with other drinks that is where a sugar difference is. The US uses the most sugar pretty much.
Not even sugar its high fructose corn syrup. Yea the US consumes alot of sugar but that goes on other things almost all the drinks in the US excluding throwback brands glass labeled imports from Mexico and your craft small biz sodas, the big three in soda companies in the US all the regular sodas are corn syrup as the primary sweetener. While diet sodas zero sugar no caffeine or whatever other diet drinks are sweeten with artificial sweeteners like splenda equal sweet n low or other sucralose or random -ose ending ingredients.
*me in the us looking at the large fries at kfc* That is about as much as I can eat.. (How do all of the people in America manage so much food and I live here nor able to handle it...)
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.
I'm English, and every country I've been to, I make it a point to visit a Muck D's, because they have slightly different menus, usually something nationally fitting on it. Also, in a lot of European countries, you can get a beer. Anyway, I've noticed that the UK has the smallest portion of chips, I've still not found another country that does the same sized portion or smaller.
I never understood why US people thought fast food was a cheap option, until I knew the difference in prices. Now that I also know the difference in portions, I can DEFINITELY see why. We're getting ripped off!
@@sebimaurer we have that over here too. It ought to be criminal to underpay staff so that they have to rely on tips. After that's fixed (not before), then it ought to be made criminal to tip, in order to stop it entirely. But only after their pay is guaranteed to begin with. It's just... a plain bad way to reward work. Someone prettier's gonna get paid more for the same work. Someone prejudiced will get to decide certain skin colours or body types don't deserve the same pay for the same work! How is this still a system that is permitted.
@@Torthrodhel i agree. i think some form of tipping is common in most of the world (except japan) but the US is the most extreme with it. where i live (central europe) you would usually just round up whatever you have to pay or give 10% max for good service but in the US you are pretty much forced to tip. they really need to start paying their servers some proper wages!!!
Haha, right? The UK guy with glasses is all calm and polite (and a bit dry). Meanwhile the US guy is like YO BRUH, HERE I AM, BURGER KING IS IN THE HOT SEAT FRYGATE 2020!!! and sprawled out across the table. Culturally accurate? XD
Starbucks would probably explain that they don't completely fill the cup with coffee in order to leave room for cream, sugar, honey, or whatever else you want to throw in your coffee. That it also saves them money is not coincidental.
Then stop eating fast food, period. You're all burning money. Starbucks people just have more money to burn than you. Get more money to burn, then you can drink a Starbucks coffee or whatever. The hypocrisy is jumping out of the screen! (Btw, idgaf about Starbucks)
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.
Partially true, because in the US you have to deal with worse things, like hurricanes, polar storms, tornados, heat waves, etc. And some locations actually do deal with rain all the time.
@@hernan2606 But then you do not have to deal with so much boredom as in UK and since is build by migrants your qualifications from abroad probably mean something.
There are probably also differences in the actual composition. Restrictions here in the UK on things like amount of salt and sugar allowed in things are stricter I believe
That is true, almost none of the us Fast food Buns would not qualify as bread in the UK. The biggest issue I see with this is that they are comparing family size portions to Large single portions. Of particular note to me was that they didn't compare any of the many sides KFC offers except the fries. I'd also like to know what burger king they went to because the drink sizes are different from every state I have lived in. a small is like 20 oz, med is 32oz, and large is 44oz.
In the UK they get their money at the selling point by giving you half a meal for the price of a full one. In the US they get their money through the health insurance premiums instead!
More and more ppl are moving from UK to US, where its easier to make a living. If anything, I envy how Americans get more food for same price we are paying
The "extra large" pizza at dominoes is actually called the Brooklyn style. The reason it's only 6 slices and actually thinner than the normal pizzas is because it's supposed to be like those big single slices of pizza you can buy at New York pizza places that you fold when eating.
Here in Chicago, they cut those into squares. At most pizzas places, even the fast food places, there's always an option of square cut here. Some of them default to square cut. Little ceazers does trinagl by default
@Dios yeah I prefer the real authentic restaurants over dominoes or pizza hut any day because atleast I know I'm getting fresher ingredients and better authentic pizza from an Italian restaurant that specializes in pizza making... I hate dominoes floppy shyt ... A pizza is suppose to be a little bit crispy and thin sliced... But if I'm feeling fat ass I'll have a deep dish, u guys wouldn't know anything about Chicago style deep dish though so it's ok don't worry ur pretty little heads 😂
That’s because you can order as many as you want. If you get 3, it’s just paying for the cost of 1x3. But if you get 12 it might save you like a penny but you pay for more than you need...and Americans do it.
Like the UK has a decent progression like "well I have a foot long and a drink so I only want 1" or "I've only come on for cookies so I'll grab 3" and I'm with the boys and we want some cookies so I'll grab 12 and have 2 or so each". In the states it just gets stupidly big stupidly quick

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.
Would really love to see this same test applied to Asian outlets, we only have 1 or 2 cookie choices at subway!

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. 😬
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.

In the US they get their money through the health insurance premiums instead!
I'm from the UK and I dont think it's a scam👺
I'm not sure what Sergio means but something similar, the us makes up for not scamming you with the health care bills for diabetes
It's not a scam tho, if i go to McDonald's i an full from a medium fry and a borgar. Its super unhealthy the amount usa serves😂😭
I look the prices of each UK menu sizes compared with currency exchange, it's a full blown scam justified with healthy issues. 🤣
I just love how the US guy is eating throughout, respect
More and more ppl are moving from UK to US, where its easier to make a living. If anything, I envy how Americans get more food for same price we are paying
@@syl-x9u Are you saying this is a good thing?
@@Laluan not healthier, but more bang for buck
@@syl-x9u Actually....you pay slightly more for slightly less
@@augustjay6436 20 McNuggests cost £ 4.99 or $6.92 in American dollars.
Guess how much 40 McNuggets & 2 large fries combined cost in US? $9.99
When the UK large is smaller than the US small

@@jaspervermeer659 shit my bad

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.
Better for your health~
The "extra large" pizza at dominoes is actually called the Brooklyn style. The reason it's only 6 slices and actually thinner than the normal pizzas is because it's supposed to be like those big single slices of pizza you can buy at New York pizza places that you fold when eating.
Thats dope. Thanks
Here in Chicago, they cut those into squares. At most pizzas places, even the fast food places, there's always an option of square cut here. Some of them default to square cut. Little ceazers does trinagl by default
Interesting. In Bulgaria this size is called jumbo, but unfortunately I cannot explain why that is. I thought it was called that everywhere.
@Dios yeah I prefer the real authentic restaurants over dominoes or pizza hut any day because atleast I know I'm getting fresher ingredients and better authentic pizza from an Italian restaurant that specializes in pizza making... I hate dominoes floppy shyt ... A pizza is suppose to be a little bit crispy and thin sliced... But if I'm feeling fat ass I'll have a deep dish, u guys wouldn't know anything about Chicago style deep dish though so it's ok don't worry ur pretty little heads 😂
@Dios I read that in Jon Stewart's voice
“3 feet is like 17 meters” oh yeah the average hunan is 6 foot, so we’re all just casually 34 meters tall
Lol
Hahahahaha
Just in case someone was curious and didnt bother to check:
3 feets is 0.91 meters.
@dangobunni I did ask
@dangobunni I didn't ask you y mucho texto
My heart weep everytime the food spill.
They got food from KFC, it was wasted at time of purchase
5:54 now this is the quintessential American attitude. I burst out laughing at how dismissive he was over the UK fry drama XD
I live in Africa yet here i am watching these two compare foods from countries I've never been to
@Adolf Hitler Just gotta ask them for "easy ice"
I encourage you to come to America and get fat.
@ba da ba ba ba no you're just a disappointment
Skinny gang
@Adolf Hitler Ha ha😁😁😁😁
The US guy was getting so pumped about this, it’s like he was doing an unboxing video
Jaajaja that's so cute
I love that the US cookies from sub jump from 1 straight to 12 lol.
That’s because you can order as many as you want. If you get 3, it’s just paying for the cost of 1x3. But if you get 12 it might save you like a penny but you pay for more than you need...and Americans do it.
Like the UK has a decent progression like "well I have a foot long and a drink so I only want 1" or "I've only come on for cookies so I'll grab 3" and I'm with the boys and we want some cookies so I'll grab 12 and have 2 or so each". In the states it just gets stupidly big stupidly quick
The US portions for the cookies are "how many cookies do you want?". From there it's simple multiplication for the cost.
@@stryph42 exactly!
Yeah, when I want cookies I just order 2 or 3. I didn't even know that many was an option lol
in australia, we can add 3 dollars for a extra large one, its 50% larger than a large pizza
