Yeah
But still - wtf?

Since when have we measured non-alcoholic drinks by their liquid volume? Knowing that it means "20" still leaves you clueless as to what size it is in relation to the others. All other things being equal, I would naturally put "grande" as the biggest, followed by "tall". Then the other one which does not give a relative measure of size would be the "regular", or "small" one.

The first time I was in Starbucks, I had to work it out by looking at the accompanying prices displayed next to the sizes. One should not need to do this: the names should speak for themselves.

True
imagine the lunacy of selling things like milk, orange juice and coke in pints or litres...it'll never happen

OK OK
So I was not thinking of those :)

But you know what I mean: when you buy a drink in a restaurant or coffee shop - you don't buy per liquid volume. You just buy per cup/glass.

I was not talking about buying pints of milk etc in a supermarket. You know...
