    100% that kid won’t even finish the layer of oreos (?) on the top. What a fucking disgusting use of what I’m going to apprehensively title ‘food’.

        That is what they always say when they launch such food items, yet it definitely is going to be in a lot of cases. There is a reason the US has an obesity epidemic.

      Now I want more examples of a group sized thing adapted to be personal sized then reinterpreted to be group sized again.

      I’m coming up blank, but I guess a similar concept would be post-it note easel pads.

        It’s already a modification to the word to describe something smaller (a cake baked in a cup), so going back the other way seems like a redundancy.

        Like a giant pygmy hippo.

        With your knife/sword example, maybe the best analogy is describing the shortest longsword.

      An unfrosted Double Dutch, at that.

      That is an offense in itself. You’re making it that large, toss on the fudge or Dutch chocolate icing with it.
