I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.
And a hazelnut vodka.
There are many ways for a heart to implode.

Costco is awesome
I don't know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.
Yes, but you’re forgetting that’s just a light snack to stop them from starving to death on the way home.
I'm on my way home from Amsterdam atm, a slice of pizza was €10.
I skipped that and left hungry, because i'm buying two pizza's and a big bottle of coke when i get home in about an hour.

The only time an European eats a single slice of pizza is the next morning after they have overestimated their ability to devour the entire thing.

Looks like half the calories of a swiss fondue. We are not really European though.
not really European
Wdym by that ?
Switzerland is geographically in Europe but we are not part of the European Union. We don't want to share our cheese.

Fondue, with a starter plate of cured meats and a desert of meringue covered in double cream.

On which continent are you then?
European here. Can confirm. Got heartburn just by looking at this picture.
I'm from the Midwest and never had Costco food before. Tbh, it'd probably kill me too, lol.
I remember buying a coke in america for the first time and the whole family sharing it lol. The crazy shit we ate in america became our family inside joke.
We’re Costco guys, of course we get the ice cream with our giant slice of pizza and soda!
WTAF?
If you really want to throw them through a loop, tell them how much that cost you.
Did shrinkflation not hit america? Everything in that photo is huge, and it's not like the car is small. Even while having a huge car as the background, the food looks huge.
It's very much a thing unfortunately its everywhere. this is just from costco a wholesale retailer you need a paid membership to shop at, hence the large portions and cheap price on it.
Also, the CEO is adamant about keeping it that way.
Adamant is putting it lightly. The co-founder apparently told his CEO successor:
"If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."

Seems to have happened to everything but Costco's food court. I guess it's a strategy to get people in the door. Their hotdog/drink combo is still $1.50.
But as of a few months ago, they're no longer available to non-members. And the hot dogs are indeed a loss leader, a delicious loss leader.
My Costco has an 810 calorie chocolate chip cookie. When I first saw that I was like how tf do you cram the better part of 1000 calories into ONE cookie lol
Fat is the most calorie-dense food available. So that's one big piece of butter mixed with sugar, some flour, aromas, and cacao fat.

Science! That feels like those extremely strong nicotine pouches, it's just too much of the good stuff crammed into one small thing.
