A constant challenge for me is the effort to not always seek more. I am pre disposed to always feel there will not be enough. Would I like an amazing cup of coffee or unlimited sub-par java? Hmmm.... not sure. I am noticing that the large size available is not always a better deal and generally speaking not worth it. Starbucks for example has its threee comicly named sizes that are 12, 16, and 20oz each. At least for a cup of coffee, that's only a difference of 4oz each and yet more often that venti is significantly more expensive that the leap from tall to grande. Huh. It's funny when you read the prices and start questioning them.Monday, June 27, 2011

Excellent observation sir captain......
Maybe they thought they could confuse everyone by naming the small "tall" (English: of great or more than average height)
medium "grande" (Spanish: big)
and large "venti" (Spanish: 20) This is the only one that makes any sense because it's 20oz. Except why didn't they name the small "doce" and medium "dieciséis"?.....sigh
