Grande.

I like Starbucks coffee, just not their faux hipsterism. Latte, grande, whatever other words they use in place of small, medium, and large.

Now this is amusing. I just googled starbucks sizes and got a wall of marketing, misinformation, and general internet noise. It would have been quicker to drive over to the closest Starbucks, two miles away.

The net may be close to the tipping point between being an unblemished benefit to society and being overrun at every turn by commercial interests. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't go back. It's just that the overtly commercial side seems to be rearing its ugly head.
