Drink sizes are WAY bigger. I remember small fries used to come in a little white paper sleeve. In the US, I haven’t seen those in years.
That said, this 2011 study from Cambridge University says portion sizes have not grown significantly.

- bombcar 4y agoThe "cost to supersize" seems to me (but I have no proof, maybe I have more money now) to have gone down relative to the meal cost, so it's more and more of a "no brainer" upgrade. Maybe if they were required to price it backwards, where the meal costs $x and you can get a ten percent discount if you order small, that would "trick" people into eating less.
