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

"Insulting a customer by telling him you don't have a medium sized drink is not a good practice."
No matter what I said, it went downhill from there. I'm assuming he's been promoted to Manager by now. They love those who toe the company line at McDonald's.
