But now I can throw in the obligatory Fat American joke about how this wouldn't work in America since upscaling it for American portion sizes would mean it would be too big to hold in one hand.

All I ask is a fry container that keeps fries from getting cold and soggy/stale within 15 minutes, and I get this abomination instead.

As a student, it was a little cumbersome walking around campus juggling a soda and a bag of fast food -- you can smell it, but since you've got the soda in one hand you can't really eat it until you've found a place to park. Around lunch time, almost everywhere is crowded. It would have been nice to have only one hand occupied while the other opens doors, snacks on nuggets or what-have-you.

Say for instance a smoothie and apples,juice and yogurt or maybe even pastery and coffee.. This idea as it is is idiotic, the food will be cold in a matter of 2 min or so.

She isn't really paying attention and grabs her drink cup to take a sip and when she tips the cup up to drink from the bottom she gets a face full of steaming hot -insert fried food and/or spicy sauce- drops the cup of soda all over herself and wrecks the car. Equal portions irresponsible driver and bad packaging, but you know it will happen. Heck, what if the cup is full of coffee or other hot beverages, even worse. Besides this package is designed to cheat you out of your money and food. You're clearly getting a much smaller portion of the drink and food and you know the price won't drop to match the loss of product. Just another reason to eat real food.

It was interesting to me that none of the Koreans that I could see (big cafeteria... hundreds of people) drank ANYTHING (not even water!) with their meals. Instead, after finishing, on the way out of the building, they would stop at a green tea dispenser (room temperature), swig a small mug while still standing and then pour themselves a shot or 2 of plum juice from another spigot to top off the meal. Everybody did the same thing every day, every meal. Fortunately, our gracious hosts recognized that our eating habits were a little different, so they always purchased bottled water in advance for us so we could have it with our meals. Quite a neato experience, all in all.

Thanks corporate America for your ethical practices! for real though. i don't believe companies look into the long-term effects of products before they bring them out. the only thing they think about is "will this product be profitable". it's really sad that they would rather exploit our weaknesses to make the big bucks than offer something we would actually need. considering fast food was concieved by we charming Americans, and only we could coin the term "chicken nugget," I would assume it's a chain that we so charmingly brought overseas.
