    I like Japan's drink sizes...I've definitely noticed that ever since McDonald's mainly offered their large size (but you can definitely still order a small/medium), other restaurants have made their mediums into "larges" and their larges into monsterous proportions. When I go to Wendy's I'm always flabbergasted with my medium drink - and for me, it's the right amount with my food

    Whatever fast food chain you can think of they have it in America the UK and Japan. Really happy to see them do Wendy’s again and maybe do UK vs Japan maybe. Just an a idea. If Joe’s reading this, then he’ll probably be depressed to have a Food Wars series not to include him in it. Maybe he can do a cameo like Harry in the KitKat episode.

    I’m sure it varies from region to region, but here in Seattle, Wendy’s nuggets are cheapest per nugget in the 4-piece vs the 6 and 10 piece options. So a 4-piece plus a 6-piece is actually cheaper than getting a 10-piece. Makes no sense!

    • @rubiconnn
