That's precious and all, but even Ray Croc had an admirable vision for a quick meal for working men once. Big effin' deal. I would like, if the bennies are good, to be the Director of Muffin Flavors. I have some great ideas for soon-to-be holiday favorites, like the 'Lo- Carb Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte Muffin'. Whattaya think?

Can you imagine how that looks to an Italian? How inelegant, no? Not even the metric system. Which would be 568mL. That's over half a liter. Yeah, gimme a half liter of coffee. Gross. Or "chai tea lattte?" How that must look to an indian. As my friend Lily said, "I'll have tea tea the way this tea is made." So embarrassing. Forty oz. = Venti + Venti
