Personally, I think that the small Frosty at Wendy's needs to be about the kid's size. And that's definitely true about French Fries. Those don't reheat well, so you can't split them over multiple meals, and they are pretty addictive. It's hard to have just a few fries when they're sitting there, waiting to be eaten. Good point.

I think french fry portions are way too big, and a "medium" drink at some places is the size of what a "giant" used to be. Plus there is the 700+ calorie shakes at Chick-Fil-A which I wish were 1/2 to 1/3 that size.
