For many food enthusiasts, indulging in lip-smacking pasta with friends is the epitome of a perfect outing. However, a recent viral video by an Australian vlogger showcased a unique twist on this culinary experience.
Instead of individual portions or a single large dish to share, each member of the group unintentionally received a portion meant for sharing. This amusing foodie dilemma has captivated the internet, garnering over 52 million views to date. Even Barilla, the renowned pasta brand, has taken notice and reacted to the video.
In an Instagram reel posted by @brockvalesinii, we witness a group of friends gathered around a table, attempting to tackle their oversized plates of pasta. One member of the group appears to have tears in her eyes, perhaps overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the meal before them.
The text on the video reads, "The collective silence after accidentally ordering a share-sized plate of pasta each". In the caption, the content creator wrote, "and not a single one of us questioned why all of our food was about to cost us $213". Take a look at the video below.
The Instagram reel has generated significant interest online, with the comment section inundated with various questions and reactions. Some users expressed curiosity about why the restaurant staff did not forewarn the group about the portion sizes.
The vlogger clarified that the group ordered via a QR code menu on the table, thus they were unaware of the serving sizes. Others questioned how the price of each plate did not indicate the portion sizes. In response, the vlogger explained that they simply assumed it was a high-end restaurant.
Pasta brand Barilla commented, "This is princess plate size". Many Instagram users found the portion size to be fairly normal compared to the ones they are used to. Some were simply delighted by the incident, while others shared similar experiences.

"I'm afraid I'd eat it all and then see the others silently gawk at me in absolute terror," said one user.
"Too broke to make this mistake," wrote a second user. Another added, "Now this is the only kind of problem I'd like in my life."
"Can I get a takeaway container?" - meals set for the next week," said another user.
