I have it from a reliable source that 15 years ago the average bra size in America was 34B.
Today it is 36C.
The numbers are headed in the right direction, but I wonder how much of this growth is surgical and how much is genetic?
I have it from a reliable source that 15 years ago the average bra size in America was 34B.My understanding is not so much genetic as it is better nutrition. Or maybe overeating. The World's Smartest Human Being, Cecil Adams of "The Straight Dope", addressed this issue back in 1983:

Better nutrition could certainly be a factor but what about the growth hormones that are in our food?True. That's still not genetic, however (remember your HS biology: there's no such thing as inheritance of acquired characteristics).
Kids are growing bigger and are developing earlier then ever before. I don't just mean girls and breasts but over all and both genders. Originally Posted by April Showers

Now I'm 38DD all real, still good to go, way more than a mouthful, I guess depending how big your mouth is lol. No ones complained, gentlemen love my girls so it just depends on what one desires.

I'm also afraid of the laughter when you see me BCD.
