| 0:00.0 | Coming up on the exam room. |
| 0:03.2 | Just out of curiosity though, going back to that quarter of a teaspoon, |
| 0:06.4 | how does that compare to what you would get say in a combo meal? |
| 0:10.4 | If you were go to the drive-through when you get like the king size or |
| 0:13.7 | whatever the biggest combo is these days. |
