Holy shit there’s a lot of angry fat American people in the comments.
No-one is mocking them being fat. We’re mocking America for having such a shit culture and food regulation that lots of people end up with this problem.
It’s not funny to mock a specific hungry kid, but you can make jokes about famine.
You shouldn’t trigger someone’s personal traumas of rape, but comedians can joke about sexual assault.
I think blurring their faces would’ve made this less a joke and more shaming. So idk what the issue is.
Hey not cool. Don’t ever call me an American.
I mean, I apologise if it came off like that. I didn’t exclude the chance of angry fat non-American people though, but that’s kinda on you (and the other comments that may actually joke about fat people, not just you) , since I think we’re making fun of America, not obesity.
😂 sorry I was attempting humor.

As a fat person, 300lb+ lbs, i think its fine to call us out and make fun of us. Mostly we either dont give a shit and will do what we want, or might just be on the verge of change and 1 more person calling us out could jumpdrive our selfrespct enough in order to make a difference.
I appreciate that. Personally, the photo kicks my sense of empathy into overdrive instead.
I don’t see two targets of ridicule. I see two cases of metabolic syndrome,with type II and heart attacks waiting to destroy their bodies, and over 6000 calories of raw sugar in tow on wheels, because they’re too weak to carry their snack around. And they likely got there from self-medicating with food for what’s likely trauma, depression, and/or other mental illness. They need a rescue party.
what’s a big gulp
It’s a depth-charge sized drink made by the 7-11 convenience store chain in the US. The biggest Big Gulp is the 128oz (or 3.5 liters).
It’s just what you need if you’re planning to hike through Death Valley or walk on the surface of the Sun.
I knew a guy who rigged one up with a cooling system, he only needed to get new water every couple days. I aspire for such laziness. Mind you I am the type of lazy that caused me to go into severe pain yesterday because I hadn’t eaten more than one meal a day at most for like a week, I don’t have an eating disorder I am just very good at procrastinating.
I saw a video of some kid hooking up a cup with a tube that fed a back-pack to load up on some special mountain dew from 7-11…
It was for internet clout surely but damn…
In his defense some of the mountain dew flavors are weirdly rare since quite a few of them even if liked are either limited run or just not common. Finding the cherry flavor or Baja blast is relatively easy but anything else is hard. I say all of this to note that I knew a guy in highschool circa 2015 who did this with a camel pack that had a broken mouth piece.
An obscenely large soda from 7-eleven. The cups in the image aren’t Big Gulps technically, but they are very large drink containers, and OP is using the term Big Gulp loosely
A very large enclosed cup to hold liquids.
I was hoping it was going to be this video.
It’s not just bad, it’s Fort Wayne bad.
Which word is giving you trouble? Gulp or Big?
the fact that whatever the fuck is in the picture looks nothing like a drink would look in a normal country, you smug dick.
Normally it’s just a large plastic cup but I think these are the reusable ones they sell some places? They don’t really look the right size or design but I’m not an expert.
So the gas station chain sells you these bottles and then then you can also pay for a refill later as much as you want.
I’ve never seen the point and I’m straight up addicted to caffeine, the regular cups used to be cheap.
At least they are outside.
Imma be real, those things full of ice and water are godly on a hot day
A camelback is cheaper, less pathetic, and much more likely to have water in it than coke. This isn’t normal or ok for humanity.
Water? Like in the Toilette?
Camelbacks taste funny, and I suspect they leech into the water. (Thus why they taste funny)
Oh I’m sure they leech microplastics… But so do megagulps. The only difference is that camelbacks are almost entirely used for water (and probably some college kids alcoholic beverages) the difference is that these massive jugs usually contain soda, which covers up the plastic taste, and most are acidic, so they also contribute to the deterioration of the plastics in the container on top of that.
They are also insulated, and keep cold for far longer than the camelbak.
I have one of thos jugs I use exclusively for water when im working outside. They’re great. Most of my family does the same thing. The type of container you drink out of doesn’t mean anything.
Get some denture tablets, unflavoured or a flavour you don’t mind, put two in the camel back and fill it up. Let it sit for a day and rinse out. Repeat a few times if needed. Helps strip a lot of the residue manufacturing solvents out. It won’t be perfect but it will be a lot better.
Holy shit this comment section is a train wreck.
Train wrecks? Those things America has a lot of nowadays that all safety regulation is being deleted as we speak?
Uh, I hear ya, buddy.
Big Gulps, huh? Alright!
Well, see ya later!
wow these replies are landmines so i will just be confused about how you even get a picture from that angle. the place doesn’t look urban or like it would have any high-rises, and the USA (assuming this is it) also doesn’t really do tall parking garages. and it very much looks like the photo was taken from outside.
Taken from the driver’s seat of a new pickup truck?
Drone in a parking lot, I’d say.
wow that answer is very easy, I didn’t consider a drone at all. thank you.
Do you still have gallon of soda? I remember seeing soda by the gallon in the 80s. Now, the biggest bottle I see in Canada is 2L.

Biggest I’ve seen is a 3L bottle of Faygo but I think that’s a upper Midwest regional brand and come to think of it I haven’t seen one in years.
I’ve seen cheaper brands sold in bottles larger than 2L. (PA, US)

Nobody wants to be in that shape, nor to be photographed and mocked online like this.
My heart goes out to those folks, and I sincerely hope they can find the help they need to turn around their unhealthy lifestyles.
Speaking as a disgusting fat bastard myself, feel free to criticise and mock me as much as you want.
Maybe it’ll finally motivate me to do something about it.
Right, that’ll work.
You’ll probably make more progress when you learn to accept and respect yourself. Losing a lot of weight is extraordinarily difficult and it’ll take as long or longer than the amount of time it took to put it on. You’ll have regressions and make mistakes. Your key will be neck breakingly slow but constant progress and being gentle on yourself, plus being surrounded by supportive people. I’m sorry you feel that you’re disgusting but I don’t.
My mom lost 70 pounds and then gained back 20 in the last 5 years. That’s less than a pound per month, a 100 calorie deficit. She still eats a lot but I think that’s what makes her successful. She has a long way to go but I never forget to tell her she’s kicking ass because she is. You’d tell her that too. Now tell yourself.
Everyone is different. For me, mockery was much more motivating. While it was not a good place, browsing r/FatPeopleHate was what got me to finally get in shape
Lost it a lot faster than it took to get it, for the record
Well, sounds like you got the result you wanted for the wrong reason. But glad it worked out
Self hate is approximately as good a motivator as ridicule, ie a negative one.
Depression or whatever the damage is isn’t solved with more trauma.
To start climbing out of your hole your first step is forgiving yourself for not being perfect.
My heart goes out for them too since their own is probably about to stop
Gross
I dragged 15kg of peelaway in a trolley home from the local paint store last week. Fuck hand carrying that shit 4km.
