      And where did you get that Whopper? Because out here in Kentucky meth country, they are sad excuses for sandwiches.

      Are we accustomed to larger portions? Sure. That’s not the point. The point is that the ad doesn’t match what you purchase.

      Don’t other countries have truth in advertising laws?

          [JULES] They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

          [VINCENT] No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn’t know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

          [JULES] Then what do they call it?

          [VINCENT] They call it Royale with Cheese.

          [JULES] Royale with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?

          [VINCENT] Big Mac’s a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.

          You should have read the article, then. It’s about false advertising.

            Yeah if you look at the pictures in the article, you can see the advertisement shows the patty being 20?% larger than the bun underneath it. The photo under that shows the actual patty being slightly (10?%) smaller than the bun. I assume that’s how the 35% number was determined.

              Unless we’re talking about prostitutes, this comparison to commercial advertising is specious.
