I wonder how much inflation might help people lose weight. It will be interesting to see if any of the metrics go down over the next year or so.

I'm 6'3" and 220lbs. I could ride it. I'm hardly a small person.
You're sitting right around 39.5" though.

Me too. 6'3" and and have a 34. And I've been trying to get back to a 33 or 32 which was fighting weight for me in my 20's.45-70Ag said:
If the average waistline really is 40, I feel pretty damn good about my 34.
Rosalina too. She just uses Mario for what she needs and then peaces right out. Thanks for all the stars, chump!TefIon Don said:
This just confirms that Peach never wanted to be smashed by fat Mario… she was always looking at tall and in-shape Luigi.

Maybe this is the motivation some need to shed the inches/weight!
True, but "fat" and "lazy" often go hand in hand. Shopping in the middle of the store or grabbing McD's is easier.Tanya 93 said:gotsand said:Less healthy, cheaper alternatives may rule the day. I'll take the over.javajaws said:

They will rule, but they don't have to.
Plenty of healthy choices that aren't wallet busting
Yeah, I've tried to politely say something like that before. Ended about the same as the chick at the end.Mondemonium said:
Losing a bit of weight to get to ride a Mario ride is reasonable. The benefits to your health for doing so are wonderful.C@LAg said:

Critics are blasting the new Super Nintendo attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood as "blatantly fatphobic" because the augmented reality dark ride has a size restriction that will leave many Americans with larger waistlines on the sidelines.
The .... ride.... warns riders with a waistline measuring 40 inches or more that they may not be allowed to ride.
The average American waist circumference measures 40.5 inches for men and 38.7 inches for women, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Universal Studios is looking at ways to update rides to fit more guests, NBCUniversal told the Wall Street Journal.
throwing this in for LOLZ
you can search twitter for more.Still mad about that 40-inch waistline requirement for the Mario Kart ride.

It's just blatantly fatphobic, there's nothing about it that can't accommodate a bigger human. Let alone an average-sized one, as 40 inches is hardly monumental. I'm a few pounds from there myself!
