We went to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the other night. It was a slightly revolting experience. Two seats had a big white sheet over them that read "Accident Being Cleaned Up". I don't want to think about what kind of accident can't be cleaned up immediately. The floors were gross and sticky and the annoying chicks with Lawn-Guyland accents yammering on behind us were also gross.
Oh how I remember nestling into my oversized leather armchair (pre-selected and reserved arm chair, I might add) in Hong Kong waiting for the movie to start. Granted, I was watching a movie that had been out in the States for a good 6 months...
However, the big ah-ha "we're not in HK anymore, Toto" moment was when we got our drinks from the concession stand. I ordered a medium Diet Coke. Here's what I got:
Not sure the first picture does it justice, but hopefully the second does. I had to use TWO HANDS to lift the thing up to my mouth. In fact, my two hands together *just* formed the circumference of the lid. It was gigantic! I have to assume the large is reserved for a family of four.
All of that moral outrage aside, I managed to slurp the entire thing down plus a bag of the new pretzel M&Ms. :)
[Editor's Note: For all the disbelievers out there, it should be noted that I have normal, non-dwarf sized hands.]
