quarter pounder

Remember when a quarter plunder was a huge burger that only the hungriest eaters put away? Well, i've noticed now that the half pounder seems to be in vogue. Went to a restaurant today and wanted a mushroom Swiss burger. Size option? Half pound. A half pound! No one needs 8 oz of hamburger piled high with stuff. Jack and I split it and im glad we did. Last night we ate Mexican. I.ordered pork loin with mole sauce. My.ate was pilwd so high there was no way I could eat if. At least 8-10 oz of meat. Plus all the sides. As a cheapskate who doesn't want to weigh a ton, I'd much prefer to pay half the price and get half as much.
