Personally I’m a big fan of those widespread/global expansion scenarios. I’ve always wanted to live through one of those “barely disguised fetish” cartoon episodes where everyone on the planet starts turning into butterballs because of some new restaurant of food item craze.
> Be me
> New restaurant shows up in town
> Greasy, 50s diner vibes
> Food doesn’t look like much, order a “breakfast bacon burger” with fries
> It’s actually really good
> Greasy as hell but the savory taste is so vivid
> Comes with hella crispy fries that taste amazing
> Leave stuffed as hell
> Begin making regular trips to the diner
> Stuffing my face with grease day in and day out
> Eventually begins to show
> Stomach starts to pooch over waistband
> Ass filling out my pants like bowling balls
> Growing man-titties just from eating burgers every day
> Not just me, everyone in town seems addicted
> Parking lot is always full, there’s a huge wait
> They even opened a new location around the block just to handle surplus
> Eventually moving starts to become an issue
> Struggling to squeeze my booth-sized hips through doorframes
> None of my shirts will fit over my navel, clinging to my porky moobs and tearing at the seams around my fat arms
> Have to wrestle with the fat sack of flab around my middle when I get behind the drivers seat so I’m not pressing into the car horn with my gut
> Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the diner
> Wolf down towers of fluffy, syrup-drizzled pancakes
> Fisting down mouthfuls of grease-laden burgers into my bulging cheeks
> Guzzling down milkshakes thicker than oatmeal just to fill my roaring gut like the tub of lard I am
> Whole town is like this
> Saw a couple so far they were both spilling out of a twice-reinforced park bench they were both trying to sit on, looking like a pair of overfilled water balloons smooshing against each other.
> Saw this gelatinous blob of a cop spill out of his car, take a burger out of his pocket, and started scarfing the thing down right then and there, getting grease all over his ill-fitting uniform.
> Some people are so large they’re like literal balls of lard, waddling through the streets like bowling balls.
> I’m no better
> Feel like this walking, wobbling blob of pure fat.
> Every inch of me covered in thick rolls that jostle and slosh with each movement
> Have to wiggle to get my fat ass free of my desk chair, gripping my fat sausage fingers around the armrests and heaving my tubby girth out with all my strength.
> I look in the mirror and can barely recognize myself behind my marshmallow cheeks and burgeoning, pillowy double chin.
> I hear that diner’s starting to do deliveries
> That’s good, I’m probably not leaving the house anytime soon.
