Will Someone Please Tell Starbucks?

June 9th, 2006

Wendy’s is reportedly abandoning the “Biggie” name for its large soft drinks. A spokesman explained: “We felt like the Biggie designation is not what most customers were used to. Most people were used to small, medium and large.” Amen.

UPDATE: Friends have mentioned that this is actually a ploy by Wendy’s to get people to buy bigger sodas. I knew that. Just wanted to take the opportunity to stick up for “small,” “medium” and “large” as perfectly adequate words to describe drink sizes.
