Has anyone tried McDonalds new Grand Big Mac? I imagine it would just be the size of the old Big Mac before they started making them smaller.

Clever marketing, allows them to get away with charging people an extra premium for something that just used to be standard.

Ohhhh I so remember Hungry Jacks Yumbos my absolute favourite “treat” when we came to the big smoke from the country :D

Haven't seen them since the 80s, I can't recall ever eating one.

You missed out then - goodness knows how much fat and sugar must of been in the rolls because they literally melted in your mouth

It was a strange thing to have at a burger place but it was always my first option, then along came the amazing Aussie Burger and the ham and cheese was forgotten

Never had a yumbo, got a hankering now.

Having a clear lane to the red traffic lights, just as you're slowing to a stop some gobbledok pulls out of the queue in the other lane and takes first spot, then proceeds to crawl away on the green while everyone around you zooms into the distance. Then as you approach the next lights they turn yellow, gobbledok's brake lights come on so you have to stomp on yours, gobbledok sails through just as they go red and you're left spewing about the iniquity of it all.

I'll stick with my triple cheeseburgers.

Got woken up at midnight by a strain in my calf. Still got the stupid thing.

Also people half asleep at a green arrow, only realising as it goes yellow leaving you stuck at the intersection. Why must I pay for someone elses vacuousness.

I ******* hate when people take first spot in the queue away from me at the last moment.
******* happened today.

Approaching a red light in the right lane as there was a large truck in the left. Guy behind the truck darts out to take first spot in the right queue. I silently curse his ancestors, but think whatever the truck will go slowly and we'll pass it soon anyway. Then the ****** takes off at a snails pace and is driving shoulder to shoulder with the truck the whole way. Cue me internally losing my shit. Anyway the guy ended up going up a hill SLOWER than this large truck, so I had to go back to the left lane and undertake this stupid oblivious shitstain on the underwear of life.

Moral: stay in your lane folks

Did you then get done by a speed camera while undercutting the shitstain on the underwear of life?

What I hate is when there are two lanes of traffic moving slowly, stop start stuff, and inevitably one of the lanes will go a bit faster for a few seconds then the other one will. Some people spend their whole time cutting in and out of the two lanes thinking, "Oh look, that's the faster lane, I'm going there. Oh no, it's the other one, I'm going back to that one" Stay in your lane and go with the flow ffs, no one is going anywhere in a hurry! :mad: (Doesn't apply if you have to change lanes to turn obviously).

I thought you were above that behaviour
Yeah, that sucks.

They just announced last week that he was going to voice the transport announcements here. Now a couple of Vancouverites have put their name forward - Ryan Reynolds and Seth Rogan.
