venti means 20 in Italian and the cup is 20 ounces. That's one that actually does make sense, except since it's in Italian most people probably don't know it.
This is true. I didn't say anything about the grande and veti because they actually made sense. Even though they both mean large, Starbucks have made their own scale for those words.
What's up with cup sizes?

They're all just different words for large by different cultures. I dont know about tall, but grande=large (spanish) and venti=large (italian)

touche. "You've probably never heard of 'venti', its italian." Starbucks' hipster/seattle roots.
