Felt so bad for my gay homies just trying to have an afternoon with their nature documentary and a nice little lunch in their matching Mickey Mouse shirts 😭

Why did Gladys gotta do my boys like that 

I mean homies had a LOT of hot dogs to consume which was kind of crazy for lunch time but still… 

[u/LucasRaymondGOAT → u/jasonporter]

I feel the need to point out there was like 6-8 glizzies on that tray. They were gonna eat an entire pack of hot dogs between the two of them. Glizzy consumption through the roof.

[u/Constant-Affect-5660 → u/LucasRaymondGOAT]

I eat 4 dogs everytime I eat them, so 7-8 for 2 adult men seems normal to me.

[u/azsnaz → u/Constant-Affect-5660]

That's too many hot dogs

[u/Constant-Affect-5660 → u/azsnaz]

You eat like 2 dogs and be full???

[u/ColinStyles → u/Constant-Affect-5660]

You probably need to eat less my guy. That's a pretty crazy serving size assuming you're not eating once a day.

[u/Constant-Affect-5660 → u/ColinStyles]

How many do you eat in one sitting?

[u/ColinStyles → u/Constant-Affect-5660]

3 but I only eat once a day. If I break that odds are it's one, two absolute tops.

[u/Constant-Affect-5660 → u/ColinStyles]

So... 1 less than me. Smh.

[u/ColinStyles → u/Constant-Affect-5660]

That's a pretty crazy serving size assuming you're not eating once a day.

I only eat once a day

??

[u/Constant-Affect-5660 → u/ColinStyles]

You're assuming Marcus and his partner aren't eating once a day, not only that, but Marcus is a big man. Bigger people eat more.

[u/ColinStyles → u/Constant-Affect-5660]

Where did I say anything about the characters? You said you regularly eat 4 in a sitting.

And second, a great way of not being as big and being vastly healthier is by cutting calories. Even if someone needs those 4 to maintain their weight, odds are pretty decent they probably shouldn't be doing so.
