I don’t even think the stereotypical giant american burger is a thing anymore unless you go to places that specifically market a special large burger. Now a $12 burger is just regular sized. And an $18 “artisanal” burger has a thin disc of meat and is taller than it is wide.
I understand that. I was referring to shrinkflation specifically, where the typical regular american size burger is the same as anywhere else now and not like the stereotype before where everything is bigger in the US. I agree it still applies to soda drinks though.

I think the point here is that “regular” for Americans is not the same as “regular” for Europeans.
A European “large drink” in a fastfood restaurant is 500ml. In the US, 473ml is a small one.
