    this reminds me of a time when this girl was at kfc. she was a BIG girl. she ordered the big crunch combo, switched the fries for a poutine (ewwww, hate cheese and gravy), super sized it (or biggie, or whatever kfc calls it), BUT then got a diet coke. what the hell is the diet coke gonna do? ur already doing that much damage, what's a regular coke gonna do?

    well actually abt 200 calories; which seems like a small amount in comparison to her binge eating. But if they serve Poutine at your KFC, you must be in Canada perhaps? Poutine is considered a Frech-Canadian comfort food, not an American one ;)

    Coca-Cola ® Calories
    Coca-Cola, 8 fl oz drink 105
    Coca-Cola, 12 fl oz can 155
    Coca-Cola, 16 fl oz bottle 200
    Coca-Cola, 22 fl oz bottle 280

    yes i'm from canada. but back to the topic. if she's already consuming a bajillion and a half calories from the food, what's another 200?

    true. but small steps might lead to larger ones =D maybe one day it will be just fries instead of poutine.

    LOL, true. Mayb you should write a letter to the Canadian government sharing your opinions on poutine? our KFC's don't have it here, so it must be a favourite amoung the canadians only eh? shouldn't the post then be entitled: Only in Canada?

    Have to fix this facts.

    1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
    Completely not true. Ask anyone. The avg Pizza takes at least 30mins-45mins (don't believe everything the tell you in the movies), ambulance have a response time of approx 15mins

    2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
    This is so the handicap can come skate (which they do), handicaps are not just ppl without legs you know? i.e. old ppl or veterans have handicap plates too

    3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
    The reason for this is to prevent easy access for druggies to rob the pharmacy. Duh

    4. Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
    ppl do that in China at Mcdonald's too actually

    5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
    This is for convenience of the customers, so there is always a pen on the counter, btw this is done EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. Pens are chained EVERYWHERE. And the doors aren't always wide open (once again don't believe everything on TV)

    6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
    This is called storage. And yes the car is safe on the driveway.

    7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
    This is called emergency (incoming call) and they have this service everywhere. People have the choice to screen their calls, this is called technology.

    8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
    I agree this is odd but its done everywhere yes? In your country the buns and hotdogs count match? I doubt it.

    9. Only in America.....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
    Many coutries use the word politics. and it is used well there as well.

    10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
    These ATM's are standard built, not all ATM's are drivethrus. And all things have to be handicap compliance. Its called regulation. Equal rights.

    11. Only in America......can a homeless combat veteran live in a cardboard box and a draft dodger live in the White House. (This was popular when Clinton was in office)
    This is called the land of opportunity. You make it what you want. The vet does not have to sleep in that box. We have shelters.

    hahaha.. how sad. i feel like america heading in the same direction rome is.. down. i'm not saying america is going to fall apart but the way that society doesn't seem to have a definite sense between right and wrong is disturbing.

    We can't drink or gamble before 21, but we can certainly enlist in the army and kill people before 21.

    Only in America......a population as ignorant as those Yanks could claim Columbus as the discoverer of the country- a man who never even saw the place.
