High School me would have made them regret this system. I was skinny as hell but could consume VAST QUANTITIES
This is my brother now, in his mid 20s. His metabolism is out of control. I’m pretty jealous.
Me in college. About 5’11", 135lbs, all tone all the time from climbing and biking several hours every day. I spent a lot of time just trying to eat enough food to keep up
7 plates in I would have made a masscre of the general Tso’s chicken. It doesn’t matter where anyone comes from… They all serve it at the buffet
so kids eat 50% off and babies are free?
Sounds like a good deal for kids but I could never eat a baby even it was free.
Try them with rice.

You know “the old reddit switcheroo” was one of my first times spending hours on that site. It’s the little things like this that entertain me.
I like how this kind of implies that they want you at the 20-30% discount mark. Too fat? Stop eating. Too skinny? Please, gorge yourself on the house!
At 20-30% off you are paying only 70-80% markup. The 10% off guy is getting 90% markup. No restaurant would create something like this if they weren’t marking up the menu to start with.
You don’t think about how much extra you are paying because you are too busy thinking about the discount you got squeezing yourself through a sign.
I dunno. I’m 75kg and could out eat a truck driver in a pie eating contest.
I totally read that as you could eat out a truck driver
I read it as “could eat a truck driver”.
Thin people can actually eat more in a single meal than fat people because their stomach is of equal size, but fat people’s stomach has to push against a fat layer that thin people don’t have- or at least have a lot less of. It’s why thin people are generally better at winning eating contests.

I’ve always felt it should be only fair if airlines gave a combined body weight + baggage weight allowance instead of only bags.
imagine if tickets were priced by the lb/kilograms
Said by someone who hasn’t thought this through at all.
People would intentionally dehydrate themselves to save money, it’s dangerous.
If you’re so poor you have to dehydrate yourself pre flight to save 2kgs of weight you shouldn’t be spending your money on plane tickets.
I can just see the travel tips article telling you to go donate blood and take diuretics before you get weighed for your ticket
So kids get food for free
Which is not totally uncommon at some buffets
So they are overpriced and as “fat guy” you are sponsoring “skinny” ones.
