The fact that you had to explain at all basically proves my point.

Well, the flip side of that is that even "properly" named sizes are arbitrary except as compared to each other. A McD's small drink today is the exact size of a McD's medium drink 15 years ago. MD became SM, LG became MD and the new lard ass sized cup o' sugar is now LG. They did the same thing with fries, and then about 8-10 years ago started offering SMALL fries again if you specially ordered them... I still don't think they are on the menu. It's the size they put in a Happy Meal.
