SUPERSIZING Meaning and Definition

  1. Supersizing refers to the act of increasing the size or portion of a particular item, especially with respect to food and beverages. It is a term commonly used in the fast food industry and describes the practice of offering customers a larger serving of a menu item or drink than the customary size.

    In the context of fast food, supersizing typically involves expanding the portion sizes beyond the standard or regular size. This can include increasing the quantity of french fries, burgers, soft drinks, or other meal components. It is often offered as an option to customers who may desire a more substantial or larger portion for a relatively small additional cost.

    The concept of supersizing gained popularity during the late 20th century, particularly in the United States, where fast food chains introduced this marketing strategy to compete against each other and cater to consumers' demand for bigger portions. However, supersizing has sparked debates surrounding its impact on public health due to the increased calorie intake and potential contribution to obesity.

    While the term is primarily associated with food, it can also extend to other domains. For instance, supersizing can refer to enlarging the screen size or memory capacity of electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, or computers. In these cases, it denotes increasing the dimensions or capabilities of the products beyond their standard specifications to offer enhanced user experiences.

Common Misspellings for SUPERSIZING

Etymology of SUPERSIZING

The word "supersizing" is derived from the verb "supersize", which was coined by the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's in the late 1980s. It was initially used as a marketing term to describe their new option of increasing the portion sizes of their meals, particularly the french fries and soft drinks. The term soon gained popularity and entered into common usage, not limited to McDonald's products. The prefix "super-" implies something larger or greater in size, while "-size" refers to the act of making something a particular size. Therefore, "supersizing" refers to making something larger or increasing its size beyond the standard or usual amount.
