Soft drink sizes

So, I ordered small sodas at two different fast food restaurants today (give me a break; it’s deadline day) and both times, they came back tiny. At Burger King, in fact, they gave me a child’s size drink.

I can no longer figure out drink sizes at fast food places. Large has somehow turned into Super Big Gulp bladder-buster size, and medium is now what once was large. I guess that’s so that people feel like they’re getting more for their buck, when soda syrup is incredibly cheap for a restaurant.

What I don’t get, though, is why they’re scaling back to an insane degree with small drinks, which I’d hoped would be what the old medium size was. Is this some sort of weird passive-aggressive fast food restaurant chain behavior or something?
