Style Inconsistency: $90 Milk At the In N Out

I'm a fan of design -- hey, I even married a designer -- and sometimes inconsistency really bugs me. Take the In N Out menu: Throughout, the prices are listed with the dollars in large type, and the cents in superscript.

Pretty consistent... until you get to the milk and coffee. The price is 90 cents -- so it should be listed in superscript, right? Yet the prices are listed in the same large size reserved in the rest of the menu for dollars. If I were a literal vistor from another part of the globe, I'd wonder what kind of milk and coffee shortage forced the price to $90.

And that concludes nitpick theater. Next time: Is it "Kabob," "Kabab" or "Kebab"? Somebody, please make up your mind.
