How many football fields is Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Real Big Macs, or ad photo Big Macs that are twice as big?

Need a longer Carlos. This Carlos is too short for accurate measurement.
