Unproportional Portion Sizes

Yesterday, I went out to lunch with my friend Theresa. We decided to eat off the Wendy’s value menu. What you may not realize until you get your food is the very unusual portion sizes – they are not proportional.

And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.
