If a vertically-challenged individual orders a tall, what does that make me for ordering a skinny? 🤔

Somebody not ordering at Starbucks? Their orders are available in tall, venti and grande, am I right? Could you please educate me on the actual meaning of ordering a skinny?

Aren't the Starbucks cup sizes peculiar?
Doesn't it seem silly that a tall is the smallest of the three cup sizes you mentioned, until you realize there are other sizes as well?
Doesn't it make more sense when you know that:

• a demi is 3 oz. (demi for demitasse, for espressos),
• a short is 8 oz., the size of a typical coffee cup,
• a tall is 12 oz., which is in fact a tall coffee,
• a grande is 16 oz.,... okay, like... a really large coffee,
• a venti is 20 oz., for those who are addicted to caffeine I suppose,
• and a trenta is 30 oz., and isn't this one only available for iced drinks (including teas, lemonades and refreshers)?

Also, won't you please note the irony that, for iced drinks and frappuccinos, a venti, which of course is "twenty" in Italian, is in fact twenty-four ounces?

Do you know how much lower my family's milk bill would be each month if my daughter (soy) and others (2%) all drank no-fat skim like me?

Aren't I fortunate that I don't have that problem?
Don't I normally drink nonfat milk also, but am currently enjoying the creaminess of 1% lowfat milk?
Isn't this due to the fact that on my last trip to the market, I was not too pleased with the sell-by date on the nonfat so got 1% instead, as it gave me more days?
(Isn't this where I can say, "That's my story, and I'm sticking to it"?) 😂

Should I ask for a vertically challenged latte at Starbucks, and see what I get?

Does it drive anybody else crazy when you call a recurring service (cable, exterminator, etc) to cancel your subscription, then have to spend ten minutes justifying your decision while the other person tries to change your mind?

How are my fellow insomniacs doing?

Well, it's only 8:54pm here right now, so isn't it too early for me to know if that applies to me tonight?

Aren't you probably right about that?

Is this where the fellow insomniac checks in? 👋

Didn't you find the right place?

Is that the optimist in you speaking? Didn't I finally fall asleep at 1am only to wake up at 6:30, much earlier than necessary?

Won't you enjoy your walk and your Mocha?

Is that a serious question? Shouldn't peppermint be added to the list of controlled substances and banned from normal daily exposure? Can you tell I am not overly fond of peppermint?

Which is better: peppermint or cinnamon mocha?

Wouldn't I like to know as well, since I've never had a cinnamon mocha and am having only my first peppermint mocha right now?

@Cat0703a, don't I find this peppermint mocha to be tasty as a holiday treat but still a bit much? Isn't it unlikely I'll be getting another one?

@nossmf, wouldn't I advise anyone averse to peppermint to steer clear of this drink, even though it's legal?
At one point in the not too distant past, didn't I find unsweetened peppermint iced tea to be a very good replacement for the sodas, Snapples, lemonades, etc. that I had been drinking?

@cmsienk, don't I too think cinnamon wins (easily, for me) over peppermint? I wonder why I usually only have cinnamon in foods and not drinks?

Do you understand I used to hate going to the dentist as a kid, not because of the actual cleaning, but because of the peppermint-flavored polishing paste they insisted on using? Do you know how insanely jealous I am of my kids who get to choose between peppermint, chocolate, bubble gum, birthday cake, and a couple others? And is it weird that I'm ok with spearmint, it's only peppermint I reject?

Wouldn't you rather just slurp tequila out of my.....

belly button???

Is it weird that I find spearmint to be the one I reject, and peppermint the one I prefer?
After googling the two, didn't I find some seemingly conflicting opinions, on the reason I prefer peppermint? So who to believe?

• Mint brings a bright, bold flavor to recipes. On the savory side, spearmint is usually the mint of choice, however when it comes to sweet, peppermint is the herb of choice as it pairs well with chocolate and citrus flavors.
• Peppermint contains 40% menthol while spearmint contains less than 1% menthol. This means peppermint is going to have a more intense “minty” flavor that spearmint. ... If you have a lighter flavor that borders on sweetness, you're most likely tasting spearmint.
• Therefore peppermint is especially pungent and even spicy, hence the 'pepper' in its name. Spearmint, on the other hand, contains a compound called carvone, which gives it a much subtler, sweeter flavour.
• However, when it comes down to it, spearmint is better in savory dishes while peppermint is better used for a chocolate dessert.

Doesn't the general consensus seem to be that spearmint is more subtle and slightly sweeter, and peppermint is more spicy and "minty"? So isn't it odd that spearmint is preferred for savory, and peppermint pairs well with chocolate?
