A Medium in a Super-Sized World

The other day I took a rare trip to Jack In the Box to pick up a quick lunch. Nothing unusual happened. I ordered my food, a medium-sized beverage, and paid what I owed. What I got in return somewhat shocked me.

No, nothing was wrong in reality, but something was wrong in my head.

My medium-sized beverage was HUGE! A whole 32 ounces, to be exact.

Why, oh why, does a medium have to be so damn big? Oh wait, we live in the United States of American (or at least I do), where bigger is better.
