That is true and oddly enough the only people I know who saw that appeal
were men. They would get all excited that they could get such a large thing
for such little money. That's not appealing to me at all. Who wants to try
to drink out of some huge unweildy drink that you probably won't finish
anyway? I learned my lesson the firs time I accidentally ordered a "large"
drink in a movie theater.
