Preferred term

supersizing  

Definition

  • The term supersize entered the American lexicon by way of fast-food restaurants. In an effort to increase sales and profits, many fast-food restaurant chains introduced larger food and beverage portion sizes and packaged them together with other items at prices cheaper than if they were purchased separately. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Supersizing]
