This is wrong!!

I remember, as a child, back in South Africa, we always had jam and canned fruits at home, courtesy of grandma. And they all came in 'kenfroet' bottles, AKA canned fruit jars. Now I live in the States, where jam is known as jelly, for one thing, and everything is bigger and better. So, the other day we went to Memphis Barbeque for dinner. Just imagine my surprise and comments when they served my Coke in a CANNED FRUIT bottle!! Not a baby one, a BIG one, the one meant for big Northern Cape yellow peaches. Only they call it a mason jar, but for the live of me, I can't figure out why would they use it as a glass.
Next thing - on Friday night before poker, we decided to grab a sandwich at the delicatessen at Treasure Island. So I ordered a ridiculously expensive salami sandwich - of course in Vegas stuff is either free or over-priced - and almost flipped when I saw it. Just exactly how much salami is needed for a sandwich?? I'll tell you. Twenty-six slices. Not thin-sliced - medium to thick!!!! Are you freaking kidding me? I'm not exaggerating, I've counted them, one by one. TWENTY-SIX.
Between canned fruit bottles filled with Coke and salami sandwiches that could feed a village for a week,I should be able to sue somebody because I'm fat.
