    So they're of Italian origin (mea culpa, wrongly assumed American Spanish influence).
    You know how we Brits are with languages. Nearly everything here including Starbucks uses small/medium/large.

    Seems McD only do small. Small chips, small packets of chips, small buns. Smaller burgers too.
    It's shrinkflated.
    Still, got to love the golden arches logo.

      Short tepid nonfat latte used to be my SBUX order of choice. I tried that in NYC and the young woman behind the counter didn’t know what tepid meant.

      Never realised the coffee machines did anything other than frothy hot or icy cold.

        @AndyD I think it has to do with how hot you heat the milk for the latte.

        The counterperson in NYC didn’t want to admit she didn’t know what tepid was, so she kept saying, “short nonfat latte?” and I kept saying “short tepid nonfat latte.” I finally gave up and said, “not too hot.”

          I have discovered that, in a pinch, with no other options around, the espresso shots at Dunkin’ are really not bad.

                Drinking roasted barley instead of coffee, have become too caffeine sensitive.
                Use it in my espresso machine.

                    Interesting. I switched to decaf earlier in the year. My only transition was a week of half regular half decaf. I still order regular outside the house. It that’s a couple times a month if I’m not traveling. Of course decaf isn’t zero but it’s far less than what I was drinking.
