I always suspected this... now here's proof. Portions of seemingly almost everything have doubled (or more) in size over the last 20 years. According to this article from CalorieLab:
"our typical slice of pizza has gone from the size of a hand trowel to that of a garden hoe. The basic eight-ounce coffee with milk and sugar has swollen into the 16-ounce Grande cafe mocha. Theater popcorn, once in a modest five-cup box, now comes in a container so cavernous that when you finish the popcorn you can wash your socks in it."
