Thinking once again about how offensively stupid Starbuck's cup sizes are.

If they think they need to use Italian words for describing some of them, because it evokes more of an espresso feel, perhaps consider that nobody in Italy uses fluid ounces.

I'm sure there are worse examples, but it keeps standing out to me as the example of peak capitalist cultural appropriation that I keep encountering.

It's also offensive to me that they can't seem to count. Twenty means 20 sometimes, but 24 at other times. Thirty, meanwhile, means 31.

Fuck that.

If I have absolutely no other source of a stimulant, so about once every three years or so, I might get a cup. I've long made a point of not saying those stupid fucking brand names, and just pointing at the cup I want.

But I really, really do not like anything about their coffee. It's not just the naming.
