Then:  Small, Medium, Large

Now:   Tall, Grande, Venti

The photos above look the same but the names have been changed to confuse the innocent.  Sometime in the recent past the small, medium and large coffee went the way of the eight track, the cassette player and the soon to be extinct analog TV.

Boutique coffee shops such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean  offer coffee drinks that have become works of art, with exotic names like Cinnamon Dolce Creme, Mocha Frappucino and Carmel Macchiato.  And as if learning the names of these new drinks isn’t enough, we also have to familiarize ourselves with the new sizes now being offered.

At Starbucks they have tall, grande and venti.  At Coffee Bean they serve small, regular and large.

Doesn’t “regular” mean what one usually orders? “I’ll have my regular.”  Isn’t it presumptuous to assume that everyone’s regular is the drink in the middle?

And yesterday at the mall, I could have ordered an ernome from a barista who was only too happy to add an extra shot of caffeine for only .25 cents.  Such a deal.  An enorme coffee alone was enough to give me the jitters.

Every now and then I do stumble upon a small, medium and large menu.  But then a small is what used to be medium, a medium is what used be a large and well…you get the picture.  Food in this country has become Super Sized.  Is that to fit our stomachs or our expanding egos?

So the other day with my tall coffee in hand I went to visit my daughter where my granddaughter excitedly showed me her report card.  She got all 4’s.  Fours!  It appears that the grading system now uses numbers.  What happened to the good old A,B,C,D & F system?

Speaking of numbers, the last time I went shopping I was completely confused as to what size I should buy.  The store’s sizing started with a zero and went to up to four.  Now, I’m a small person, so I guess I’d be a negative number.  Who wants to feel like they’re less than nothing?  And really who is getting fooled?  If you’re a four at this shop, well, then you’re a large.  Oh excuse me, a venti.

Yes, the world is changing, whether we like it not.  Things are looked at and labeled differently than when we were young.  Back then a woman with a hot flash – was a woman with a hot flash.  Today- well, we’re called hormonally challenged women.

And I say that’s enough of a challenge without having to learn how to order a coffee drink!
