> I should further clarify my assumption that I’m thinking of a McDonald’s hamburger that I last saw listed at 1200 calories, and I’m presuming a soda in the range of 300-400.
A McDondald's hamburger is only 250kcal here in the UK and even a US cheeseburger is only 300 cal. 1200 calories is more like a full meal including chips and, as it happens, soda.

- burnished 4y agoI accused you of hyperbole because I did not think anywhere in the world sold just water, or at least no high sugar beverages like coke in a vending machine. If that question was meant in earnest then I apologize. I think that cheeseburger might not be representative, the quarter pounder might be more so [1], at 520 calories, regardless I think it’s clear that my calorie estimate was wrong and plainly too high (I think you are correct that I was referring to the meal option calories), I retract my claim that total calorie count was likely the dominant factor. That leaves me without further points as I have conceded or apologized on the ones that mattered to me. I think that means I went off half cocked, my bad, thank you for explaining yourself to me.
