I think I am the only lame person on the planet that still has no idea whether tall, vente or grande means small, medium or large at Starbucks. Even when I order teas at Starbucks, I still ask for the medium or large size. Beyond getting the size of the drink right, it sounds so difficult for customers to remember all the inclusions and exclusions to make the drinks healthier. I just cannot help but chuckle when I hear people ask for 1/2 shots of x, y, z along with four other things for their drink. Well your job for ordering healthier has just become much easier.....

Skip worrying about mentioning fat-free and sugar-free before placing your order. Simply ask for a Skinny Latte or a Skinny Mocha and your local barista will know precisely what you want! The Skinny request simply means you are ordering with nonfat milk, no whip cream and sugar-free syrup. Pick your favorite flavor (Skinny Latte comes in Cinnamon Dolce, Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Caramel) and enjoy your indulgence. Just remember, size does matter. A tall size will set you back just 90 calories while the Venti will cost you 160 calories. (Yes, I had to look up online that tall means small and Venti means large.)

Hopefully this change in ordering will help customers keep their waistlines smaller!
