McDonald's New Soda Size

File this one under why are Americans obese? Why are there 4,100 new cases of Diabetes everyday? Or, simply, why I might have muffin top, a bingo wing, or back cleavage.

“McDonald’s Supersize soda just got a friendlier name. Hugo is the new name for the 42-oz. (1.25L) soft drink, which has more than 400 calories.”

“When the fast-food chain opened in 1955, the largest soda was 7 oz. (about 200mL).”

This is wrong. Hugo? What the hell? Even if Chipotle had a soda that size I wouldn’t be okay with it.

Maybe you could fit 10 or 12 more ounces if fried foods in the bottom of your 'Hugo.' My only fear is that one may suffer extreme fatigue while carrying the the 2 1/2 pound bohemeth before the 400 calarories of sustenance reach the stomach.
