Back in the day, you could order a "small", a "medium", or a "large" of just about anything. The names have changed! Today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss will find out how well you know the cutesy and creative names companies give to their sizes. I scored 60%, which is better than I expected, since almost none of these chains exist where I live. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/20461

"'Tall' is large, 'Grande' is Spanish for large, 'Venti' is the only one that doesn't actually mean large. It's Italian, it means 20. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages."
Haha.
