Just The Right Size

Last month I gave a bag of restaurant tortilla chips to a stranger to avoid eating the whole thing.  Not too long after that I learned that at least at some fast casual Mexican restaurants you can order a kid's size bag of chips.

Today when I went through the line at Chipotle I ordered an adult-sized entree.  When I got to the cashier,  she asked if  I wanted a drink or chips.  It felt really funny to ask for a child's bag, but the cashier didn't blink an eye.  She just reached around, pulled a small bag off the display, and put it on my tray.

Standard bag and kids bag
According to the Chipotle website a regular bag of chips contains four ounces, and the kid's size bag is a quarter of that.  Price-wise the large bag is a much better deal, but when I left the restaurant (after eating everything on my tray) I didn't feel stuffed.  There's something to this portion control stuff!

    1. Oh, if only I could keep my hands out of the bag until I was able to put it INTO a ziplock!

    1. It is. However, I rarely eat out, so when I do it's always a treat.
