the concept of seizing seems weird to me in this country (or shall i say the continent?).
1) back in europe i always wore 'xl', whatever it was - a shirt, t-shirt, pants, socks, cap, whatever really. sometimes even those were too small for me. here i ordered a 'xl' t-shirt and it literally reached my knees. so i changed it to 'l'. better, but still baggy. now, i am wearing 'm' t-shirts and they fit perfectly fine.
2) food. the seizes of food packs are enormous. they sell nutella and peanut butter in such massive jars that they could easily be, not just a bowl for a fish, but an aquarium. same goes for chips, pizza, coca-cola (what else, eh?) etc. etc.
3) that wouldn't be such a bad thing if the canucks were consistent in seizing. it's extremely hard to find beer in a bottle which exceeds 341 ml. it exists, but ain't common. not mentioning the cigaretts - the king size is about the same in length as a normal cigarette in any country i have so far visited. normal size so, so, so short! you would never believe how short it is.
perhaps i am trapped within the saying that "our way is the normal way", but come on! any rational thinker would agree with me that it is the beer bottles that one should super-size not coca-cola ones!
