In the US, pizzas have basically been standardized by the national chains to be 10 inch (25cm) for a small, 12 inch (30 cm) for a medium, and 14 inch (36 cm) for a large.
Honestly, this is probably the most effective way to communicate circle sizes to me, as I am quite familiar with exactly how big each of those sizes are.
I’m obviously familiar with other lengths as lengths, but for flat circles, there’s not really a better intuitive comparison.
In Italy a pizza is a pizza. Size can vary a little bit restaurant to restaurant, but no way you can ask a different size pizza than the one you’re being served.
Some places may offer slightly smaller ones for kids, but that’s quite uncommon.
As you can see, this is not at all a reliable way to communicate sizes: I have no way to decypher how large a large pizza is.
Iv always loved how people attack Americans for using dumb refences for measurements by just being racist towards all Americans.
Xenophobic? Is there a word for attacking a person based on their nation of origin? I guess xenophobic would be accurate.
Its not like other countries also don’t use stupid refences to every day objects to make comparisons. Nope just an American thing that requires them also to be fat and uneducated.
We love causal xenophobia and racism here on lemmy!
At least most of the comments here are making jokes about it instead of just being a racist prick.
Them there’s also the problem the fast food corpos made themselves when they expand internationally, they have to downsize their portion sizes because the rest of the world doesn’t eat like fast food loving Americans.

That’s exactly my point. While this may make sense for your average fast food loving American, it just doesn’t in the rest of the world.

American is a race? Interesting.

How much is that in AR-15s?
