Universal Cup Sizes, Please!

No, I don’t mean bra cup sizes! I’m talking about the everlasting conundrum of the venti vs. large vs. me crap. How many times have you walked into a non-starbucks coffee shop asking for a venti something-or-other, only to be rudely answered, “You mean a large?” No, I don’t mean a large, I mean what I just said lady! The fact of the matter is, we’re living in a generation that’s been “Venti-ed.” Basically interpreted as “spoiled.” Everyone wants to be different, in turn, no one ends up having that luxury. Therefore, we’ve ended up with a million different sizes for cups. This is why you have to squeeze that latte between your legs in the car. Someone’s “different” cup has cost you your precious cup holder, or your beautiful leather seats from spilling all over yourself. All the cup creators and manufacturers should hold a conference and develop 3-5 universal cup sizes for the entire world to adhere to. They should also invite all vehicle manufacturers, to make adjustable cup holders to fit those 3-5 cup sizes. See, simple, to the point, and it would work for everyone. No more lawsuits over spilling scalding hot coffee all over ones crotch, because the cup holder would actually be doing its job. See all they’re good for now is holding all those annoying car washing advertisements, hair pins, candy, random trash, and maybe those occasional emergency mints. What about those disgustingly large slurp, burp, jerks or whatever they’re called. Seriously, some of these x-large cups are larger than my torso. All I wanted was the x-large curly fries and I’m handed this enormous cup to go with your meal. Come on people, we may need to change the saying from wishful thinking, to wasteful thinking.
