I am one of
those persons who are worried about Finland copying one by one the unhealthy
things from U.S. We used to have small bottles of lemonade and now the usual
size is two liters. Potato chips used to be in small bags, but now the size is
gigantic. You cannot find small candy bags anymore, because now everything is
sold in Mega bags. Mega now, Giga soon.
I was once
travelling with my family. Because we were busy and hungry, we stopped at the
McDonald’s drive-in lane. Once I had ordered the "tasty" fast food, the sales
person asked if I would like to take the meal with bigger drink and bigger
chips. It would cost only 1 € more per meal. I made a counter offer; If you sell each meal 1 € cheaper, then I will take the bigger size. My children were
really ashamed. No deal, but everyone were happy. Maybe I had accidentally got happy a set of meals.
PS. McDonald’s
does not offer three liter Coca Cola mugs yet in Finland. This is a free tip
for business innovation.
Lessons learnt:
The bigger, the better – not always.
