This was a great April Fools joke from Starbucks. BTW, KFC wants their bucket back, and Starbucks always had those little espresso shot cups.
Mini-rant: honestly, I’d love it if they just rename their sizes to small, medium, and large since their current sizing makes no sense:
- Tall is their small and those two words mean very different things.
- Grande is their medium but it means “large” in Spanish (and I’d presume Italian).
- Venti is their large, and it means “twenty” in Italian, but while their vent hot cups are 20 ounces, their venti cold cups are 24.
I just order small, medium, and large, and it used to be that Starbucks employees would be snooty about it, but they have been better about it in the last couple of years.
Too bad Via wasn’t an April fools joke, but if it was as good as Elite or BRU, I’d be alright with it.
