This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah I'm reading this Aussie orders a large meal, received a large meal, and was ungrateful. When you're in America, you accept your diabetes and say "thank you may I have another?"

I think the key is that a large in Australia and a large in America can be vastly different.

Comparison of American vs Australian drink sizes. The American servings are approximately twice as large as the Australian servings for small, medium, and large drinks

Yeah but he has reasonable healthcare so I, as an American, still don't see what the problem is.

Wait...the smallest size in US is larger than the largest size in Oz? That aligns perfectly with my world view for once.

Honestly it all depends on where you're at when your ordering. For example, that "Large" shown there is what you get at a movie theater when ordering a Small.

this img is 1000% outdated, the sizes are not that big anymore

Don't Australians all hate America for having figured out how to make actually good beer?

I thought it was young Albert Einstein who figured out how to make actually good beer by splitting the beer atom and therefore introducing bubbles in an otherwise flat beer?

Nah australians are too busy with other things to be hating. Surfing, smoking pot, hanging out with sasquaches, partying at the indigenous peoples sacred islands, and shooting the local wildlife. At least, thats what I learned from watching The Big Lez Show.
