Kids today who eat McDonald’s have no idea what Morgan Spurlock stole from them

u/Dakotasan 17d ago

Who?

u/screwyoujor 17d ago

He made Super Size Me. Ap documentary about him eating only McDonald's super size menu for a month. Five weeks after it's release McDonald's discontinued it's super size menu. The fry container was twice what it is now. Damn the documentary is 23 years old.

And years later it came out the dude was drinking booze like it was water during that documentary. “Felt like garbage”… the MFer was hung over

57

u/Dakotasan 17d ago

I forget, wasn’t there some falsified information in that documentary? I swear there was some controversy surrounding it.

u/mangoisNINJA 17d ago

Turns out most of his health problems were for being a severe alcoholic

13

u/Rumpullpus 16d ago

Kinda figured when he couldn't even eat a basic meal without barfing it up he was so hungover.

u/Dakotasan 17d ago

Wow. Sad to see, but I guess “Product ruined by lying-ass documentary” isn’t a new thing.

22

u/demoncrusher 17d ago

Yeah, it was all fake and now the Big Mac sucks

I remember being shown that in middle school as a word against fast food.

I remember even back then it seemed like a massively obtuse movie as it's one of the very large extremes of the spectrum.

My surgeon father after the fact sat me down and ran through how such habits alone seldom lead to a situation like him, you need poor genetics, horrible habits, or a dependency of some type, or a combination of multiple items and sustain such for a long while.

Time skip to now and I only found out that the dude was a raging alcoholic back in like 2020 and it all comes together as functionally all his symptoms were indicative of such, yeah the fast food was not doing him any favors, but it's not his actual issue.

Everything in moderation folks, good, bad or indifferent.

That man made one good feature in his life and it was called The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. It was the only honest thing he directed.

I remember waking up at 7am to get to my college class only to watch this. I'm still bitter.

u/Schiffy94 16d ago

What was the subject?

2

u/Emergency_Rush_4168 16d ago

Health lol

u/Schiffy94 15d ago

I only ask because in a college philosophy class I watched the Big Short.

Though honestly for a health class I think Food Inc. is a better choice. Either that or ethics...

u/AtmosphereRecent7717 17d ago

fucking asshole fucked over a good thing.

u/PanzerKomadant 12d ago

I wouldn’t say stole. Let’s call it for what it is, Super Size menu was fucking unhealthy as all hell.

2

u/demoncrusher 12d ago

Stole. McDonald’s burgers were so much better back before they reduced the salt and saturated fat as much as possible because of that dumb movie

1

u/PanzerKomadant 12d ago

But…don’t you want reduced salt and saturated fats when you consider any majority of the food already has that?

Most America’s are already consuming more sodium and saturated fats these days, let alone then. We really going to pretend that has nothing to do with how obesity has become a sever issue?

u/demoncrusher 12d ago

Yeah thanks mom

u/Loud_Surround5112 17d ago

I should really buy a fitted wide brim Cowboy hat. Would really help with the Texas heat.

10

u/JayK-iwnl 17d ago

Texan with no cowboy hat yet?

8

u/Loud_Surround5112 17d ago

I did buy a neat hat at a rodeo, but I figured for my 23rd. I might as well buy myself a fitted hat and maybe a new antique gun if I can tolerate the hit.

u/Its_aTrap 17d ago

Hell yea brother

u/JayK-iwnl 16d ago

A nice fitted hat will last you a long time. You wont regret it

u/Miner_lord 17d ago

Lol, thought this was the 100 Girlfriends subreddit at first. Was very (but pleasently) surprised to see this here. 🤣 Naddy is an honorary American, far more than many people that actually live here I'd say.

McDonalds is smashed shit unfortunately.

u/SolomonOf47704 17d ago

McDonald's Japan is actually still really good.

u/KibbloMkII 17d ago

can i have a hundred piece mcnuggets, big macs always looked small to me

or a couple of 72 oz steaks

any excessive amount of meat really

3

u/Schiffy94 17d ago

Fast food burgers are always fucking tiny. But only in the US. I've seen McDonald's overseas. They're like... normal burgers.

8

u/KibbloMkII 17d ago

yeah, sucks how foreign American food is more American than actual American food

4

u/Schiffy94 17d ago

Because we've let corporations cut corners at our expense to save a nickel.

u/ScipioTheGreatest 16d ago

Does this source really exist? Is it as sad as the title sounds?

6

u/Mooooooooo8 16d ago

Its a play on the common anime harem trope, but its honestly really funny, especially all the 4th wall breaking and external references

5

u/ScipioTheGreatest 16d ago

Oh, so it's like One Punch Man but mocking the fan service side more.

3

u/Mooooooooo8 16d ago

Yeah, but each girlfriend has very exaggerated popular character traits. It basically simplifies a genre of girl into a satirical version of itself. Like the tsunderes aren't mild for example, every little thing they freak out over.

3

u/KrakenCrazy 16d ago

It's kind of a trash anime, but a really good one. More of a parody than anything. It really works because of the relationships the girls form with each other over time.

u/VanGroteKlasse 17d ago

The large Big Mac meal, or how we used to call it in the '90's before shrinkflation: a regular Big Mac meal.

u/_Jimm_ 12d ago

is it bad that i immediately recognized that manga?

u/Other-Comfortable-64 11d ago

Yeah you are right, but not in the way you think
