I see it here all the time -- the French kids are suckers for getting a bigger portion for what seems to them not a lot more money. When asked whether they want the "regular" meal or the "supersaver" meal, they almost always go for the latter -- a bigger portion of fries and a Coke so large I go into hypoglycemic shock just looking at it. And they're beginning to show it. Last summer the nude beaches were not nearly as pleasant an experience as they were a decade ago.
