I do have the same situation when I was ordering my first Starbucks coffee in USA. So fxcking drove me crazy that I did not even know what they call "tall, grande, venti", no mention how to pronounce it.
Ha ha
Here is the translation:
tall ===> 12oz small
grande ===> 16oz medium
venti ===> 20oz large
So...I love this video.

剛剛從噗浪看到你的噗文 很有趣!XD
nah i love the uniqueness of calling cup sizes in their own conventions. It's a jargon for coffee addicts!
這個真的很好笑。
不過另一方面看這世界就是有很多讓人覺得confuse的地方。語言之趣在此可以看到 :)
