The Starbucks naming conventions drive me crazy because of the fact that they all mean, essentially, "big." So it's impossible to remember which "big" you want for a medium-sized coffee!
- gojomo 17y agoThey always humor me when I order 'small'/'medium'/'large'. But also, did you know there's a secret even-smaller 'short' size? See: http://www.slate.com/id/2133754/ http://www.slate.com/id/2133754/ I don't think there's an "animal style" cappucino, though.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoI always use this video as an example when I'm trying to make a point about perspective (what you call 'big' and I call 'big' can differ) or obfuscation. Plus, it's a really well done take on the Starbucks naming regime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFLs9RI8mSA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFLs9RI8mSA&feature=relat...
