Oｈ ! my God story NO. ３６　

Big size

Americans are big. There is no doubt about that.
They are much bigger than Japanese.
Their hands are big, too.

So Americans don't like compact, light-weight cell phones.
Because they are too small for Americans to handle.
So bigger size cell phones sell more in America.

A portion of food and drink is big, too.
The size of paper cup of Coca-Cola is big, too.
One day, I saw a man on the street

who was walking and drinking Coca-Cola from a huge paper cup.
You will surely be surprised if you see that.
I felt like burping when I saw the big paper cup.

I happened to see the scene like this before.
I went to a restaurant in the famous hotel.
There were four middle-aged businessman in the hotel.

They ordered four big 'parfait'.
I was amazed by the size of one portion.
The size was as big as two tissue boxes.

Oｈ ! my God.

Dear Americans, listen to my advice.
You must watch out for diabetes, cerebral hemorrhage,
heart troubles and a bad tooth. Not to mention for obesity.
