Small, Medium, or Large?

Yeah, but the college educated corporate mind with a Communications Degree that works in marketing knows that a person feels that a meal that comes with medium fries and drink is seen as a better value by most people than one with a small fry and drink, even with the two sizes being identical. Therefore, they sell more meals.

Which burger description sounds bigger—quarter pound or 4 ounces?

I always get the biggest cup availible. I may not eat a lot, but I always stay hydrated.

Erm...with soda? You know that basically drinking more soda does the opposite of keeping you hydrated? I basically learned that in 9th grade...4th quarter basically every day I had a 2 liter, even bringing it to track practice...er, nevermind.

Anyways, I've never had this happen to me; usually I just go without a drink when I go to a place like Wendys...chili/baked potato makes up for it :p

That has recently been disproven. They've found that your body absorbs just as much liquid from caffeinated drinks as it does from a glass of water.

Yes. Something similar happened to me.

Once I went to Mervyn's to buy some slacks. I walked in and said "I'd like some slacks, babe," to the stunning blonde behind the counter. She pulled out a gigantic pair resembling the ones that so-called "Jared" holds up in the Subway commercials and said, "That will be $19.99." I gave her a wink and said, "I wasn't born yesterday, doll. I'll take that pair of size 32's you're hidin' back there." Her jaw dropped and she was speechless. With a flushed face she stuck her trembling hands behind the counter and pulled out my lucky 32's. Dockers, with the tapered legs. I could tell she wanted me to take her right there but I had to meet an associate at the TCBY for some nonfat frozen yogurt.
