FYI: it's a 2002 Chrysler Town and Country with only 21000 miles on it. We got it from Terry Hendrick's Chrysler Dodge, Jeep in Archold, Ohio(About hour drive west of Toledo) I want to give them a plug because they were extremily nice with dealing with Christy and myself.
The phrase “What size is Large?” That sounds silly until you think about it. Recently there was been a change in how restaurants are doing sizes. The problem is that there is no consistency between restaurants sizes. For example A large at McDonald’s, is not the same size as a large at Wendy’s. When I go to MacDonald’s, I order a large, I get a 32 OZ drink, but a 32oz drink at Wendy’s is considered a medium. (Got that?) This was called a Biggie at one time, and what is now large was called Great Biggie. If you order a large drink at Wendy’s you get the 55 gallon drum of Pop which is enough to keep a person in the pisser for a week. When McDonald’s had the 55 gallon drum it was called the “extra large.” At one time, what is now considered a Medium at McDonald’s was a large, and what was a medium is now a small, and what was a small, is considered a regular.. My point is that when you order something from a restaurant, you don’t have a clue what size you are getting. You know what you ordered, but (small, medium large, super duper king size huge, tanker truck, etc) but someone else’s medium can be someone else’s large. (Just ask your significant other), so it’s a wild guess on what you are going to get. Why don’t they list the drinks by the number of ounces, instead of this small, medium, and “Oh my god that is huge!” sizes they do now. They do at the gas station. When you get a 20oz drink at the gas station, you know that you are getting a 20oz drink. No error there. A 20oz drink is a 20oz drink, no matter were you go. No guessing on the amount of refreshment you are getting.
Oh and for the record, I’m glad that Wendy’s go rid of the “Biggie” names. I felt like a 5 year old when ordering dinner from there.
What was once known as a 'biggie' drink at Wendy's is now just a 'medium.' Soft drinks now come in small, medium and large sizes only. The 42-ounce large is equal to three-and-a-half cans of soda.
