>I'm curious. How would people here feel if, instead of banning large drinks, the law required that anyplace selling sugary drinks had to provide at least one actually small (8 oz. or 12 oz. maximum) size? IOW, they had to offer people the chance to buy a single serving, but could then go up as large as they wanted?

I don't go to Starbucks very often. When I do, I typically order a triple short (8 oz) latte, or a straight espresso,neither of which are listed on their menu, but are available.
