At this point I would offer that I have never found the sense or 
reason behind most of the measurements.  a foot may have been from 
teh size of the foot of a king at some time, but inches ?

Or the liquids ounces, pints, quarts.... all I know is that I can 
easily drink a pint, a quart talks a little longer.

A 'normal' 'cup' of coffee would be 8 ounces fluid,  8 ounces = one 
cup as cup is a measurement term.

a large coffee was 12 ounces at one time. and then it was 16 ounces 
and now is 20 ounces.  Probably because our car ride to work is 
longer.  but, remember if you drink 20 ounces of coffee in the car, 
you run into the building !

20 ounces is about 568 ml so you can imagine it is a LARGE coffee.

for soda we START at 16 ounces for a small.
medium is 22 fluid ounces (650ml)
a large is 32 fluid oz (946ml)
a KING is 42 oz ( 1.24L)  44oz at some stores
and a DoubleGulp is 64 fluid oz (1.89L)

I expect that this summer one store will try to out-do another and 
sell something even larger.

and YES, that is ONE serving and one soda for one person at one meal.
and YES we drink TOO much ! oh, and yes, people actually do drink the 
whole thing.
