"The number of calories in the baked macaroni dish, which features three types of cheese, is almost 10,000 (40,000 kilojoules). "

What was the point of saying this???

Are they trying to impress the value of the loss and failing? Or did they need filler words so they can include more ads?

I used to order a "catering" size of chili from my local Big Boy. It was a quart of chili, granted it took me three meals to eat it, but yeah catering doesn't mean much.

My thoughts on mid-tier Italian Restaurant prices. And you want $30 for pasta, chicken and sauce, why?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago
