Things that have names for sizes

[Bruce Fielding]

I'm trying to think of areas where things are given names instead of numbers for sizes, e.g. Champagne with it's Magnums and Jeroboams etc, paper with foilios and quartos etc, and cigars with coronas and churchills etc.

There must be loads more, but my mind's gone blank... (nothing new there!)

Help?

( Alledgedly ) - In Mexico the local condom manufacturer launched a range of condoms in "Regular" , "Grande" , "Macho" and "Super-Macho" sizes.

Apparently, they only ever sold the "Super Macho" ones as nobody was brave/ dumb enough to ask for the other sizes

[Bruce Fielding]
