I don't know if it is a meme or a trend I am missing but there are two distinct groups of people that asked about cup sizes - the first are the typical group that are curious over volume (based upon what drinks they have had or plan to have later) or the price (more so which one seems better value) but the second group are those that don't dare mutter the words "large".

When I suspect someone that might fall within the second group, I don't even do the cup size demonstration... and this social experiment has worked as the fake indecisiveness always ceases when "large" or "venti" is spoken which result in a very prompt "yes" (or similar phrase) before I can say or do anything else.

Is this a life hack in the universe to bypass weight gain? Seems implausible to me!
