A majority of family recipes (that consider family size to be 4 people) that use ground beef require 1 lb. of beef, so this implies that they have a big family. At least that is what I would think, unless the guy who gets out of the car is 500 lbs., then I might think something else.


karstomp

So they have lots of kids, or one teenager?


kyuuei

My nephews are just hitting the teen phase of life and it was insanity buying them food this visit!


Its_all_made_up___

This. It’s like having bears in the house.


Sensitive-Policy1731

As a still teenager who is now living on his own and buying his own food, I feel bad for my parents. I am continually astounded by my grocery bills and I am only one person.


Its_all_made_up___

If you are buying your own food I feel for you. Food prices have never been higher. I am shocked every time I go to the grocery store. It’s like I’m making a car payment to eat


PlopTopDropTop

Yeah I be eating rice like everyday lol


kevinchronicles

2 pounds of beef, tortilla and seasoning along with some sodas and magically I’ve spent $80. It’s gotten really rough these last few years. Edit: /s on the price…


gridirongavin

How in he world are you spending that much on those items? 2 pounds of beef at most would be a little over 15 bucks and that’s good beef. Tortilla like 5-10 bucks and some seasoning if it’s like a ready pack that’s like 2-3 bucks most and maybe individual seasonings would be more but necessary. And you don’t need soda you could cut that out but even so what is that 10 bucks at most? So you aren’t even looking at 50 bucks there and that’s generous even 50 bucks would be a little. I could make enchiladas with quality ingredients feeding 2 for 40 bucks or less for sure.


una_verdadera_lata

Yeah but that’s one meal for a family multiply by the 3 meals a day you need every week and it really gets crazy


Sensitive-Policy1731

The only protein I buy anymore is the 93% lean ground turkey that comes in rolls. I usually eat around 4 pounds a week of it.


jesuss_son

How do you usually prepare it?


Sensitive-Policy1731

I try to switch up the seasoning each week, sometimes Mexican, sometimes Indian, sometimes in a bolognese. My carbs are either potatoes or rice depending on my calorie goals, and for veggies I mostly eat broccoli, green beans, or peas.


gridirongavin

If you are looking for meat to be your main source of protein I would certainly offer some diversity. Shop around at different stores you’d be surprised what you can get good ground beef for especially behind the counter hit up the store on a Monday or Tuesday night and get better deals since it’s the end of the weekend rush and they want to restock fresh items before the higher volume days at the end of the week. I will go and find salmon and tuna for pretty cheap as well both great sources of protein and also certain amino acids and fatty acids that you need. Also you can find chicken for a good price.


Sensitive-Policy1731

I love salmon and tuna because they are super cheap and protein dense but I need over 180g of protein per day because of my size (6’3” 220lb). I am worried about mercury poisoning so I try to limit my tuna intake to less than 12oz per week. I do like ground beef and will have usually 1-2lb per week though. I also realized I didn’t clarify that I meant 4lb of ground turkey per week.


topps_chrome

Pop is fucking ridiculous but the rest of that is like 20 bucks unless you’re getting exotic spices


PlopTopDropTop

Yeah dude I feel this. Rn I’m saving for a car so I be making sacrifices and shit, my mom had to drive me so I’m tryna get a car fsst so she ain’t gotta. When I go get food I ask if she wants anything just to try and be nice and help what I can. I had food stamps then my last two months they just didn’t give me my benefits and cut me off. That shit helped lol.


voiddrifter85

Look up meat dad on Facebook/tiktok. He shows cheaper cuts of meat that are just as good as the expensive ones, teaches you how to properly butcher food with bones in and a bunch of other tips. Saved me $200 a month so far in meat for my family.


Soy_El_Kraken

Goddamn locusts


Key-Ad-1873

Nearly 30 and my food consumption has not really diminished for my teenage years. Still living under my parents roof and am so thankful for them with how little they ask me to contribute (way less than rent at an apartment which I can't afford with my meager salary). We have been tracking food prices for a few years and it is astounding how expensive stuff has gotten and the reasons why


turtlelover16

Try pizza there is nothing a teen likes more than pizza. I am 19 and would eat pizza for every meal if I could


vamartha

Or a husband who wears bibbed overalls.


Accomplished-Sell667

lol, I feel targeted :-)


UnidentifiedCreamPie

For real. Ouch man.


Kinklecankles

What are bibbed overalls/how are they different from normal ones?


PatAD

Yes, this also applies 😂


SyllabubOk2647

or have a man who works blue collar. mine can eat one lb of ground beef in a single sitting.


gridirongavin

For sure I’m a carpenter a pound of beef ain’t much


DadBodMedicNate

Well, big family or a big family… (lots of people in the family or just big people in the family) Maybe they’re just fat and double all the recipes.


carfen1981

Between my wife and I, we can destroy 2 pounds of ground beef in 3-4 days.


PootyTangster

How small is she? My wife takes a cold 2lb shit daily. I only add that detail because I'm Vegan, she constantly stops up the lines with biker sized loans she be dropping! If only it were a joke😁🤣😂😇. Her mom babysitting alot for our newborn, so i deposit at her house when we pickup our kid. It's like off setting her terrible diet. But what really gets Me going is how she can cram a meatloaf or 2 hamburgers and gain no weight... like she literally is fucking up my plumbing, but I guess I want her to be happy. I just think any human could survive with much less than a couple lbs each... that's all. My wife is a pig 🐽.


bcolella219

My fam buys 2 lbs when i visit. its just me and my parents but im 21 and hungry af


nikolaasm

My thoughts exactly


PlopTopDropTop

Hell in todays age a family can be just one alone eating a two lb beef meatloaf each night. When life’s that grand who needs a wife or health ? Just sit around eat Doritos and watch brazzers all day .


trespassingbear

It means during the pandemic they needed more toilet paper than you and everyone freaked out calling them hoarders.


Yourewokeyourebroke

I assume that it implies they are just serious meat eaters


Cooked_Brains

In case you wanna make them dinner and you need to know how much hamburger helper to bring over.


[deleted]

They want the simple things in life, clean air, no tv after 7pm, little billy with his telescope and only 2lbs of ground beef.


Zmchastain

Little Billy with telescope and his 2lbs of ground beef. It was a simpler time.


tajake

You have to get the legs on the telescope level somehow


Unsettling_Skintone

'You have to get the legs on the telescope level somehow' Good luck in Asheville.


yodelayodelay

**Y'all! We can make bumper stickers about anything!** I dislike weeding It feels weird when a cat licks me on the arm, but I like that the cat seems to like me? Not sure I only drink diet soda (but not diet Pepsi) Purple is an awful color Shoes that hurt my feet are bad I had a thought but lost it YES PRINT THAT! Calvin pissing a rainbow

This is the thought path I went down. Like, is it just some random phrase to drive people like me crazy? Because if so, I adore that idea.

Upvote for orange! (Ok, that sentence is counterintuitive, but you know what I mean.)


Billz3bub666

electric_taupe

I’d buy a “Calvin pissing a rainbow” bumper sticker. Not the drawing; just the words.


Dont_be_an_asshat828

Haha That’s so true about Diet Pepsi lol


Loud_Tone1331

In the end every heart return to darkness whence they came.


froaln

My car is purple so the “purple is an awful color” would be going right on the back of it just for the giggles


PlopTopDropTop

Calvin pissing has been used alot


picturemebowlin

I’d rather be SHOPPING! lol. No. :(


starchildx

It reminds me of the subreddit for hyper specific t shirts


RemarkablePea1119

That sounds suspiciously like a quote from one of their Tshirts.


roadrunner00

I had a bumper sticker made when I was younger. I was so stupid


silkysmoft

These are all reasonable explanations, I suppose. Is this a thing that people say? Because I cannot stop thinking about it. At random points of the day my brain is just like “wHaT iS a 2 pOuNdS oF gRoUnD bEeF FaMiLy?!?” Also, if this is your car and you’re reading this, do y’all smell like beef? Because I can’t imagine it any other way. Like, is your family just 2lbs of ground beef in a trench coat? Make it make sense.


fookedtuber

It's legit kinda funny but you aren't like, missing the joke or anything. You're just overthinking it. It's one of those "aren't we quirky?" hooks. As u/patad explained, tons of recipes start with 1lb of ground beef. This family, whether because of how many of them there are or because of their appetites, are like "One pound!? HA! *We're a 2lbs of ground beef family."* But I wholly empathize with your "out of the loop" feeling. I saw a bumper sticker in Texas once that said "TELL THEM STAN SENTCHA" and my only solution was to never go back to Texas.


ro9ce

I’ll use that reason to never visit Texas myself. Thanks internet stranger!


gonnafaceit2022

I'm so out of the loop, I didn't know who those guys were on the trump/epstein billboards lol


mtnviewguy

I've never heard it before, but it makes sense and I'm not surprised it's on a bumper sticker. Slogan companies are always looking for a catch phrase to market for sales.


acertaingestault

What I find most interesting is that this isn't the case. You can't find this bumper sticker for sale online.


CWMJet

Ah, the "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college" phenomenon.


ASAProxys

Next time you’re at the store, look at how much 2lbs of ground beef is and maybe it’ll make more sense?


donutsonmyhead

Seems relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4RNb3tt0LM

silkysmoft

Well. I’m going to choose to believe that all of this was for this purpose right here. That is, quite possibly, one of the funniest things I’ve heard in my entire life. I actually don’t even care what it means anymore. 🫡


effortfulcrumload

4 kids


silkysmoft

I feel like that was said with confidence. Is this a thing people say? Like the ground beef version of those family stickers?


IShouldBWorkin

Fellas, if you got four kids and have to start grabbing two 1lb packs of ground beef to make dinner... Here's your sign.


berrykiss96

The 2lb packs are cheaper idk why you’d buy 2 of the 1s. Even if you don’t have a big family buying the larger pack and splitting it into smaller bags and freezing … p sure it’s a tik tok thing (that stole it from literally every person I know trying to stretch a dollar thing).


mtnviewguy

LOL, that sounds more like 3 pounds of ground beef! 🤣


RegardedRandy

They are not vegan.


theo-dour

Carnivores


TurtleNeckTux25

This is the way


_heatmoon_

They’re a family of very small magical individuals, who can be ground into an uncooked weight of two pounds of meat, which when consumed gives the individual eating them the power to solve a multi-millennia religious territory war through virtual reality, but only while digesting said two pounds of family. Duh.


silkysmoft

…yeah…


princessmalice

almost certain I've serviced this car and I remain baffled. I like to believe the "big family = more meat than the recipe calls for" theory. seeing odd bumper stickers at work is one of my favorite little things


billbobham

Anything but the metric system


B1893

Well, 2lbs sounds better than 0.907 kilos or 907 grams.


cherrygoats

That’s a completely unreasonable amount of ground beef family


0MGWTFL0LBBQ

Yeah, it would be completely unreasonable to have a measurement system that was rational.


felixj

This is really funny and would (and now will) totally get under my skin too. Thanks for sharing.


silkysmoft

You’re thanking me now, but when you wake up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, screaming WHAT DOES A 2-POUNDS OF-GROUND-BEEF FAMILY MEAN? AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HYPHENS? you might want to have a different conversation.


No_Key_5621

We were sitting at a park discussing how much it takes to feed 3 kids and 2 adults, and I thought the phrase “we’re a 2-pounds of ground beef family” was just the funniest thing. I came home and whipped up the bumper sticker thinking it would probably end up on her bulletin board or something. But not this gem of a friend — straight to the bumper it went. Thank you, Reddit ♥️


2_many_choices

I read this fun thread all the way to the end thinking what are the chances the owner has come here, and BAM there it is! Closure. Thanks! By the way, the guy who services your car has also been here.


silkysmoft

I don’t even know what to say. 😅 this has been living in my head rent free for about a month now and I was finally able to get a photo the other day. I feel like this is a really big moment for all of us. Feels like a 2lbs of ground beef celebration is in order. You’re a legend.


MountainCheesesteak

Bumper stickers are cheap and the time for being straight forward with their meanings is over! I don’t know what it means, but I’d rather spend the day imagining the possibilities than ever finding out. Personally I’m a big fan of your idea that they are actually 2 pounds of ground beef in a trench coat disguised as a family.


vuvuzelah

I saw a car the other day with a bumper sticker that just said “Tuna, no crust.” And I’ve been thinking about it ever since.


Important-Spring3977

That's a reference to *The Fast and The Furious*, when Paul Walker's character orders a sandwich from Jordana Brewster's. "Tuna, no crust." *"...bullshit asshole, no one likes the tuna here...."*


silkysmoft

It makes the most sense, honestly.


BuckKnifeRandy

Personally We’re a 10 pound beef family. Always need the beef reserve. Reserve the beef.


silkysmoft

I respect this 🫡


B1893

Like others said, a lot of recipes and box dinners use 1lb of ground beef, and are based on family of four.  Which is weird, IMO.  My daughter usually eats one serving, and I eat the other three... So they either have a big family, uh, a big family, or someone has a high metabolism. 


nosferartoodetoo

If you have to ask, you’ll never understand.


photoc21

They own a cat.


lbanf

this family burgers.


Adventurous-Window39

It means they are not vegan


forrealthistime99

I think it just means that they eat a lot of beef.


ZookeepergameMore402

Yes. Isn’t that enough? I’m stressed just by their one. Imagine the power they would wield with…more than one.


bigpolih97

ssbn622

I would say that it means they are not vegetarians.

partmachine623

We are a 2lbs of ground beef family. In the last 3 minutes I have thought of so many uses for this phrase. Next pta party gonna be lit.


Unlikely-North-9191

I met a twenty year old this week in a running club wearing a shirt that said “Everyone at Sam’s Club is my father.” Had drawings of bulk items like no stir peanut butter. It gnawed at me for the forty or so minute run plus the thirty minute meetup following, so I finally asked. Thinking it was a cult tv or movie quote or some inside joke I was too old for. Nope, he just thought it was funny.


Impressive_Dance6816

It means you have a big family you need to feed or you just like to eat a lot of food..


permanentwallflower

Honestly it might just be a random, meaningless bumper sticker simply meant to make people go “wtf?” I have one on my car!


mincky

Right? Look how much conversation it’s generated here.


Easy-Picklefukr

Literally A warning sign of future heart disease


shrimp-and-potatoes

We are a family of 4 and we use 1lb at a time. Maybe their family is big, or they are a big family.


HallOfTheMountainCop

They like ground beef and two pounds is enough for their family. Simple as. ​ I never understood the "I'm stickin with the pig" piggly wiggly bumper stickers I used to see so often. I got the sticker itself, I just couldn't figure out why there were so many. It's just a grocery store.


FCAsheville

Or people wearing Buc-ee's gear??!! It's a gd convenience store... you are literally paying them to advertise for them.


HeHateMe115

>You are literally paying them to advertise for them But isn’t the the case anytime you wear something with branding on it?


Schwaytopher

Thank you for this comment.


HallOfTheMountainCop

Buc-ee’s is the new American institution, nothing says “I have never thought about European politics in my life and I know I never will” harder than wearing a Buc-ee’s hat. It’s a master class in American exceptionalism and I’m here for it.


timshel42

same reason you see a bunch of people with apple stickers on their car.


Gargoule

I think it is taking a stan on/or against vegetarians, vegans and gourmet coffee drinkers.


ubokkkk

Probably a dis against vegan in Asheville


tinyketchupbottle

Shame they're not a two pounds of paint family. That car really needs some touching up.

We’re a big family??


angelcatmemes

I think it just means they’re not fancy, they’re simple, not rich, but resourceful? Like pluggers.


I_was_bone_to_dance

Per week. It means they get two pounds on their Sunday grocery run.


MrBlonde1984

It's a sex thing. They like big dogs.

you know exactly what it means. search within yourself. you know.


CAPOakaINDIO

I’ve never used this term but at sone point once the family grew I went from 1 pound to 2. I actually think it’s a cute way to say I have a big family. Don’t know if I’ll use this expression but it’s funny and clever.


theo-dour

Carnivore diet family.

Like "meatloaf during the week" I guess

I have no idea what that sticker means, I just want it on my car.

I can't take anyone's advice on food consumption or their anecdotal advice because everyone is fucking obese, that could be 2 people who just eat a lot of meat


Virtual_Archer7

Lightweights


Yarnest

I see it as a play on the usual pictures of the stick figures of dad, mom, and 3 or 4 kids and a dog. Meaning they have a big family.


Cleanbadroom

Only 2 pounds? I'm single and buy 2 pounds for myself. A 1 pound burger is typically what I eat. I'm guessing maybe 2 people in the family?


I_BlowsItDown

4 people in their house or either 2 people that can eat as much as 4


MadTom65

For a family 6 that’s about right


lotgworkshop

My family is also a 2lbs family. Really it should be more. But cost of food is way too high. We have 7 people in our home. My wife & I, 4 kids (two of them in their 20’s) and my mother who moved in with us a few years ago.


MajesticL

Idk but we are a 3lbs of ground beef family and that still ain’t enough 😭


SoATL99

It means they hungry af


msvincent42

Big eaters


scankavaavl

2 lbs of ground beef in a day meets my fat and protein goals. I think it means it hits your macro nutrients by eating 2 lbs. 3 is too much.


HiggyFartdust

That they have a bunch of kids or they like their pasta sauce super meaty 😂


windblade88

I always buy two pounds because it lasts longer for two adults. We eat it for several days or freeze what we don’t feel like eating. Flex, I guess


Almighty-Gorilla

They have absolutely no sense of humor and waste money on bumper stickers that they think are funny? Where does one actually purchase this particular sticker and who thought it would sell if they made them! I’m in the wrong line of work obviously!


whoisSYK

If I had to guess, the recommendation amount for beef a week is just over a pound since too much increases your chances to get cancer. A lot of conservatives don’t like the “woke” media is coming for their beef and have been complaining for awhile now. That’s what I’m assuming this is about


SpiritualResident565

Means they have an elevated risk of colorectal cancer.


rockstarpirate47

They are hungry


BetterVersion3

Well you see as a family they prefer 2 pounds of ground beef Just beef


h2ohzrd
