Could that be from an "americano" coffee?

If it holds soda, then it makes no sense at all, because a small is larger than many areas' "large" (sometimes 16oz, or almost 500 ml).

The name americano refers to machinery imported from the United States that was used in the 1940s to produce the first piece.

Ah, makes sense, we had more reasonable portions back then.
