I was recently at the kiosk at an Odeon cinema in Norway and I noticed that their popcorn buckets were helpfully labeled S, M, and L. Stor, Middels, Liten. No X-sizes in that case though. At least with popcorn you can plainly see that S is much bigger than L is when you pick it up yourself.

Ah, yes, for foodstuff one does often use S, M and L as localized sizing labels, Burger King does the same, I think. However, in the context of localizing XS as being extra large, and XL being extra small, that's still wrong. Anecdotally, wherever XS to XL sizing labels are used it's always been direct counterparts. XS bring extra small, and XL being extra large.
