American clothes sizes

I love ebay. Whatever you can think of you could probably buy, just try it. Just to test out ebay's randomness, i searched for a "garlic crusher" and found two listings. Maybe someday i'll be lazy enough to order a garlic crusher off the internet instead of going down the road to the local shop.

That would take some foresight though, since the garlic crusher would probably be delivered in 3 to 4 days if i'm lucky. That means i'll have to know 3 days in advance that i'm going to be indulging in some culinary experimenting that might require the crushing of a few cloves of garlic. If that was the case, wouldn't it be easier if i picked up the garlic crusher from the store as i'm buying the food? UNLESS i'll be ordering the groceries online.. then maybe i could synchronize it so that crusher would arrive at the same time as the delivery man from Tesco. Highly doubtful, since i never engage myself in any cooking that requires anything more than simple boiling of pasta or rice. So this whole dicussion was pointless.



I love ebay. i recently ordered an item of clothing from the american ebay website, and it was listed as XL. That is, more or less, the size of clothes that i usually buy from the UK. Unfortunately, American XL is around twice the UK size.

I'm glad McDonald's have decided to eliminate their supersize scheme in the States.
