I'm not 100% sure that the "Bigger is Better" mentality is an American thing, but it permeates nearly everything in society. So it seems.
When we ran the ice cream parlor, many customers loved what we did and exclaimed that we must sell more ice cream than anyone in town. I knew it wasn't true (for a variety of reasons that aren't important to this discussion). When I mentioned this, I was told I must be crazy. I responded that it wasn't necessary that I sell the most ice cream. "Just enough*" was my goal.
