I spent a month camping in Norway eating Norwegian camping food and when I got back to the US I went straight to a 5 Guys and projectile vomited it into the dining area trashcan perfectly. Had to run over and open the flap. Some guy stopped eating.

>> No.20072265

They are not that big desu, I'm 5'5 and wouldn't go as far as to say that they are "twice the size of my hand." I will concede, however, that Five Guys is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, and I can only WISH they were 2x bigger at 1/2 the cost.
