In Defense of Medium!

What happened to medium?

We all used to watch TV on medium size screens, now we watch either on big-screen TVs or hand-held devices like iPods. I like my big TV and my video iPod, don't get me wrong. I'm just wondering when medium went out of style.

When you order a small drink at a movie, you are told that they no longer have small. You can have Medium, Large or Extra-Large (even trash-can size). So, there's no small. Or is there??? Doesn't this just mean the Medium is Small. Sucks to be demoted, especially in such a public way. (Clothes are the same way, medium is really small - or maybe that's relative - never mind)

On the roads one often finds oneself between a Suburban and a Mini. Whatever happened to the mid-size cars? Even at the car-rental place you reserve a medium size car. When you get there, they don't have any mid-size. How 'bout an upgrade to a full-size. I wonder if they ever had the mid-size there in the first place. Hmm.

Of course there is the show Medium, but this post is about things that are 'medium', not 'mediocre'.
