Oh, it's tiny. It's like, what, 8 oz? Like one of those mini Coke cans. But if people don't expect a small to be small, they're just stupid. The small sodas at Target are microscopic, but I don't complain, because they're labeled small.

But I can see how offering a very small beverage, even at a low price (they were test-marketing selling them for $1 during the recession!), could make Starbucks look overpriced. So they don't put it on the menu.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
