When I was a kid I seem to recall coffee was always served in small 8 ounce cups. Generally, refills were readily available but nobody carried around more than that little cup. Do people drink it faster now or are they just used to room temperature coffee?
Also I’m doing an experiment and selling my ebooks here on the site as “pay what you want” PDFs. Basically you can get any single book for $1 or more. Check out the ebook store here.

Unfortunately, the ‘SuperSize-Me’ applies to too many things. We get used to huge portion sizes, and too many of us (ahem) are trained plate-cleaners (when I was a kid, it was “the starving Armenians” guilt trip.)
Now, the chi-chi restaurants put a tiny bit of food-art on a plate, and we wonder when the entree will come. Wait, that was it! Now I feel cheated, especially for that price!
Just goes to show that for certain cases, size IS everything. That and having a restroom handy.
@Chris:
caffeine just isn’t what it used to be; that or society as a whole has just become more and more accustomed to a caffeine-induced existence
At that point you jab them in the neck with an 500ml IV containing super turbo shot Dunkin Donut express coffee buffered with a muscle relaxant and hypnotic.
