Anyone up for some Starbucks? I always get a Tall Strawberries n' Cream Frappucino. Mmmm... Milkshakes. But why is it a Tall size if it's so small?
Question: Why is tall coffee the small size?
Answer: This one was tougher to search up than I thought. I found what seems to be the right answer, though:
Originally, most coffeeshops only had two sizes: short and tall, based on not only the amount of drink they held, but by their height. (hence, short and tall) Eventually, as supply and demand grew, so did the drink sizes, and what was once the largest size (tall) became the shortest size, and the name just stuck. You can still order it as a "short" size and you'll get the same size, but isn't it sad how demand has grown like that?
So, as a condensed answer, we have:
Tall coffee is the small size because, due to increasing demand for more drink, the large (tall) became the small, and the name stuck.
