Are you kidding me. As if we don't already have enough confusion figuring out what to order while in line, now we have two more size to consider.

Good one -- happy April fools day :-)

I'm going to go down to Starbucks and order the Plenta.  I wonder if they'll know what I'm talking about...

Very funny.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but this is one day that I think we can do without,  IMO
Just a big waste of time and most "pranks" are just that  "pranks"

If I got the plenta Id be wired all day and then some. The micra is prefect gulp size though.

Is this Starbuck's version of Supersize me?

I really like some of the "pranks" and I think they take some of the pomposity out of our lives.  I am an addict for a good laugh--and when they replayed a BBC 4/1 prank about the spagetti trees and the "harvest" I laughed--I'll remember that pleasant moment everytime I have the opportunity to buy spagetti and will smile.  This world needs more smiles-period.     There are several other pranks I really liked, TOPEKA, etc.  This is good fun.  We need more.

The BBC prank about the spaghetti harvest was an absolute classic.

A little humor a day never hurts!

Two of recent memory that are my favs are from NPR. The did a piece on zip code porting (like porting a cell phone number). The other was about exploding trees in Vermont and the forthcoming maple syrup shortage.
