Are coffee cups getting smaller?

This week I went to two different coffee cafes and ordered small coffees. In both, the takeout cups seem smaller than they used to be.

Any notice the same?

I know that wine glasses are getting smaller in bars

the bagels everywhere in NYC are smaller too. Once bagel shops realized what people are willing to pay for those shitty Pop-Up Bagels with their shitty schmears, they all went small.

No. You’re getting fatter, OP. Lay off the coffee.

Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation… she was beginning to grow larger again… ‘I can’t help it,’ said Alice very meekly: ‘I’m growing.’”

I suspect my local coffee shop is watering down their coffee.

How much coffee do you need? A little is fine.

R14, then I’d be happy to pay for a little. But I’m paying more than for a little

They are now giving out 8 oz as a small when it used to be 12 oz

A Starbucks tall (small) is 12 oz. Other coffee shops have made their small, less
