I had a stopover in Singapore airport last year and in spite of loving 
Singapore food I headed straight for Burger King for a double whopper 
with cheese no mayo set. When the girl handed me the tray I got the 
shock of my life and laughed "what the fuck is that? i asked for a 
regular coke", startled at first she pointed to the large.

Last time I was in Australia I noticed that 500ml had become the 
standard size drink - it doesn't matter what your poison is the smallest 
size is is a 500ml PET bottle.
