I heard this speech from foamy, so I'm just recalling the words of your lord and master.

What's with the names "tall, grande, and vente?" I mean when I ask for a tall glass I expect a tall glass, not a small one! Why don't they just call it small! It's like the opposite in the coffee world!

Then they make up the word "Vente" like people say that more than once a year! Who the hell is gonna remember that!

But why is "Grande" medium? When was the last time you went to taco bell with the munchies, ordered a beef Grande and come out with a medium size taco? It's insane!

I ******** love that.
I have his rant version of it on my ipod.
" Small, medium and large! Ya know the original progression for the sizes of beverages was small, medium and large? These ******** had to rename the sizes of their cups to Tall, Grande and Vente. Like calling small a tall makes me feel any better about this urine sample sized cup of coffee swill they surve at these star shmucks coffee houses! And Grande? Where the ******** am I? Mexico? Have you ever heard of a Grande sized shirt? No, a grande sized shirt is an XXL for the fat bastards! So in that respect, a medium sized cup is not grande in any way shape or form. And Vente? What ******** language is that? Latin? When the ******** did we start using a dead language to describe the size of coffee cups? I hope you choke on your own biscotti that you serve with the swill you call coffee. I hope a Vente truck runs over your Grande head and smashes your Tall brain into even Taller pieces! "

Or at least I think thats how it goes.

I tried explaining the whole concept to my parents and only succeeded in confusing the lot of us. x_x
